St vd Brink Expands Netherlands Footprint with Acquisition of Euser Special Transport
ERMELO, Netherlands – St vd Brink, a leading transport company, today announced the acquisition of Euser Special Transport, based in Heinenoord. This strategic move considerably strengthens St vd Brink’s position in the Dutch construction transport sector, bringing its total number of construction transport locations across the Netherlands to eight and enabling more centralized operations.
The acquisition comes amidst a wave of consolidation within the construction transport industry, with St vd Brink actively expanding its network since 2023, following similar moves involving Jan Hofman Transport, Land Transport, Bremer Transport, De Jong Transport, Van der Werf Transport, and Kaspers Transport.
A Family Legacy Continues
For Gerrit Euser, who led Euser Special Transport for 33 years, the decision to seek a buyer came as his children expressed no interest in taking over the family business. He found a fitting successor in St vd Brink, another long-standing family-owned company with over 80 years of history. A key factor in the agreement, according to Euser, was a commitment from St vd Brink’s General Director, Alex van den Brink, to maintain the Euser Special Transport location, company name, and existing fleet.
“I was looking for an organization that shared our values and would respect the legacy we’ve built,” said Euser. “Alex van den Brink gave me the assurance that Euser Special transport would continue to thrive as a vital part of the St vd Brink network.”
Strategic Expansion for National Coverage
Alex van den Brink explained the rationale behind the acquisition, stating, “I firmly believe construction activity will increase in the coming years, and having a strong national presence is crucial. Heinenoord is a strategically important location near Rotterdam,allowing us to better serve our clients and efficiently manage operations from our eight locations across the Netherlands: Ermelo,Heinenoord,Amsterdam,Vroomshoop,Harkema,Burum,Bakhuizen,and Workum.”
