BENELUX
In June 2016 TGW opened its Benelux office in Oud-Gastel (Roosendaal) in the Netherlands. Our office is in the logistics hotspot of Noord Brabant, and from this location, we support both the Belgian and Dutch markets attracting employees from both countries.
What started as a small team, which now counts over 50 employees. We have experienced substantial growth in the region by successfully contracting new customers and supporting over 100 existing customers with TGW equipment as part of their logistics operation.
In the last years, we have grown into a mature team consisting of Lifetime Services, Project Management, HR and Sales & Solution Design. Our growth ambitions for the Benelux region remain high due to the continuous demand in our target markets; Apparel, Groceries, Industrial & Consumer goods.

Onboarding Programme
To ensure our employees' optimum start in the company, we consider it very important to continue supporting them throughout the onboarding process.
