1925: There everything began. The father of Bennie Heisterkamp, the creator of Heisterkamp team, dared it, to get the - during those times - enormous sum of 300 guldens the very first truck regarding the beverage trade Heisterkamp in Ootmarsum/the Netherlands. The truck was mainly intended for transportation of alcohol; Heisterkamp is at that point active as representatives for the brewery Grolsch. For many years the beverage dealer along with its t-Ford travelled from consumer to customer.
Their son Bennie was already during those times entirely relocated after lorries, but led for now to no other running concept. That should change for 1965: Bennie completed the technical college for mechanics in Apeldoorn and put thus the foundation-stone the today's enterprise Heisterkamp. He was in those days driver, mechanic, accountant, representative and planning manager in one person. The large break-through arrived 1974, whenever Bennie acquired the permission for freights in foreign nations. A large investment because the costs for that authorization had been as much in terms of a complete truck!
1985 relocated the enterprise from Ootmarsum to Oldenzaal. In mid for the 90ies 1st branch office in German TravemŸnde starts, quickly thereafter an additional one inside Belgian Gent. Further addresses in Trier/Germany, Trelleborg/Sweden and Stettin/Poland adopted. Today Heisterkamp is European market leader is within the array of Trailertrucking. Before the forwarding company experienced a substantial development. 850 vehicles drive today into typical red-white-blue on European countries roads. 1400 employees offer a smooth functional sequence. Apart from the forwarding Trucking-business Heisterkamp is today also into the sections Truck- and Trailer Rental, Truck- and Trailer-Repairs, Truck and Trailer-Washing and Used-Trucks and Customs service active.
