Dutch excellence in trade and logistics since the 16th century
For over four centuries, the Netherlands has been a central point for global trade and logistics. Beginning in the 16th century during the Dutch Golden Age, the nation emerged as a maritime powerhouse, with the Dutch East India Company pioneering international trade routes and setting the standard for modern supply chain management. This era not only highlighted the Dutch spirit of innovation but also cemented their reputation for logistical excellence.
Today, the Netherlands continues to be the premier gateway to European markets. Home to world-class ports like Rotterdam—the largest in Europe—and a state-of-the-art infrastructure network, coupled with a deep-seated expertise in logistics and a commitment to sustainability and innovation, the Dutch provide businesses with a seamless entry point to European market.
With over 400 years of international trading experience, the Netherlands not only knows the way, we know how to connect with the right partners in Europe.
