Our values

Our values are the compass on which we base our actions, make decisions and take on new challenges. They form a solid foundation, enabling us to delight our clients every day. Our values are the reason what makes our organisation attractive to employees, partners and our international network.

More intelligence through innovation

You don’t innovate by wanting to be smarter than others, you do it by being smarter with others.

Van den Bosch knows only one direction: forwards. That’s why we think differently to others. We operate differently from others. We innovate not for innovation’s sake but to make a real difference every day. Not just on paper but in practice. By combining logistical knowledge and experience with the unprecedented possibilities of data, technology and automation, we, our employees and our customers are in a state of constant evolution.

Driven by expertise

Whatever the country, whatever the language, we know our industry inside out.

At Van den Bosch you will find numerous disciplines. However much individuals stand out in their own field, we all have one thing in common: every one of us is driven by expertise. From driver to planner. From data analyst to Customer Service specialist. We share our knowledge, we love to learn and we use initiative to reinforce our position as the name in bulk – together.

Acceleration through ambition

Whoever wants to improve themselves makes progress every day.

Good can be better. Reliable can be more reliable. Green can be greener. Smart can be smarter. Every day we raise the bar. This entrepreneurial attitude has been in our DNA since 1964. To achieve these things, we give employees the room they need, we promote promising developments and we share our knowledge. Yes, we are ambitious and entrepreneurial. And we have an affinity with people, projects and concepts who share that spirit.

Pleasure from passion

Passion is the fuel which takes us, our customers and the world further.

We at Van den Bosch all love what we do every day. That’s why we are so proud of our industry and our perspective on it. We’ll never tire of talking about it. Our passion for smart, innovative and sustainable solutions is irresistible. It’s how, together, we guarantee quality. To employees, customers, end-users and society at large.

We have different perspective on bulk

Where others see raw materials for food and chemicals, we see opportunities. Opportunities for improvement. For efficiency. For change. It’s time for bulk logistics to get smarter. Are you ready for change?

Stronger together

Make a difference. Generate impact. Initiate change. At Van den Bosch we don’t do this alone, but together. After all, together you are stronger. Get to know the teams that make up our organisation.
