1925: There everything started. The father of Bennie Heisterkamp, the founder associated with the Heisterkamp team, dared it, to invest the - at that time - enormous sum of 300 guldens the very first truck of this beverage trade Heisterkamp in Ootmarsum/the Netherlands. The vehicle ended up being mainly intended for transport of alcohol; Heisterkamp was at the period active as representatives associated with the brewery Grolsch. For many years the drink dealer with its t-Ford travelled from client to client.
His son Bennie was already in those days completely moved after lorries, but led for now to no other running concept. Which should change for 1965: Bennie completed the technical university for mechanics in Apeldoorn and place therefore the foundation-stone for the today's enterprise Heisterkamp. He was during those times driver, mechanic, accountant, representative and planning supervisor in one individual. The large break-through came 1974, when Bennie acquired the permission for freights in foreign nations. A sizable investment due to the fact charges for that permission had been equally as much in terms of a total truck!
1985 moved the enterprise from Ootmarsum to Oldenzaal. In the mid of this 90ies initial branch workplace in German TravemŸnde starts, quickly thereafter a further one into the Belgian Gent. Further addresses in Trier/Germany, Trelleborg/Sweden and Stettin/Poland used. Today Heisterkamp is European market frontrunner is in the range of Trailertrucking. In the past the forwarding business experienced a considerable development. 850 vehicles drive today into typical red-white-blue on Europe roads. 1400 employees offer a smooth operational sequence. Independent of the forwarding Trucking-business Heisterkamp is today also in the parts Truck- and Trailer Rental, Truck- and Trailer-Repairs, Truck and Trailer-Washing and Used-Trucks and Customs service active.
