Van der Mark is a provider of logistic services that carries on where others leave off. We do this by combining modern technology with the best of the past. "A deal is a deal; that was true a hundred years ago when my great-grandfather started the business and I believe this is still true today," says Simon Van der Mark. "Of course we do innovate and implement changes because the transport industry is in constant motion. This requires an ongoing improvement process, maximum flexibility and adaptability so that the services provided are always perfectly in line with the logistic needs and processes of our customers. Everything we do is about transparent communication and mutual respect. We are fully prepared to meet every logistic need of our customers."
From one single dogcart to thousands of HP
In a century's time, VDM has grown into a reputable, (inter)national carrier and warehouse specialist that has become an increasingly important link in the European logistic chain.
Since 2000, Simon Van der Mark - the fourth generation - is at the helm of a well-respected company that is active all around the globe.
Oud-Beijerland has been a favorite spot for Roparun runners for years. This year 4 VDM trailers were stationed along the route to support the various activities that encouraged the athletes and raised a significant amount of money for charity. Early in the morning, Tom and Simon drove the trailers to their spots and picked them up at the end of the day. While we don't run ourselves, this is how we at VDM still contribute to the good cause.
As every year, we participated again in the Truckers' Ride organized by the Foundation Hoeksche Waard Truckers for the disabled. "We don't let them drive, but when they're sitting in the passenger seat and honking the horn, they feel like a kind of king of the road," says Tom van der Mark. It was another very successful day!
