On 20 June 2026, we celebrated this together with our employees at our site in Genk. It was a warm day, both literally and figuratively, during which we not only looked back on our history, but also ahead to the future of Trippaers Transport & Logistics.

What started in 1986 as a hobby that got slightly out of hand has, over four decades, grown into a professional transport and logistics company. A family business that is today active in transport, container trucking, warehousing and logistics services, with Genk as its home base and with a team that makes the difference every single day.

This growth did not happen by itself. It was built on hard work, trust, courage, down-to-earth entrepreneurship and, above all, people. Our drivers, planners, warehouse employees, administration team, customers, suppliers and partners have all helped build the story that Trippaers Transport is today.

Over the years, a lot has changed. Trucks became more modern, customers more demanding, systems more digital and sustainability more important. But our foundation has remained the same: family-driven, personal, flexible and reliable.

This is not just a slogan on paper, but something we aim to live up to every day. In the way we think along with our customers. In the way our planners remain accessible. In the way our drivers take responsibility. And in the way we, as a family business, stay close to our people.

The past years have brought strong growth, but always with the aim of making our service better, stronger and more future-oriented. In 2026, we continue to invest.

We are further expanding our logistics activities with additional warehouse capacity, improving our parking and infrastructure in Genk and continuing to invest in modern equipment. Over the coming months, 7 new trucks will be delivered, including mega tractors and our second electric truck.

This expansion also requires additional trailers. That is why we have started a cooperation with Schmitz Cargobull, allowing us to further strengthen our fleet with high-quality and future-oriented trailer equipment.

These investments are not a goal in themselves. They are meant to help us support our customers even better, provide our people with reliable equipment and further develop our position as a flexible logistics partner for SMEs and industrial customers.

For us, the future lies in a healthy combination of transport and logistics. We want to continue growing in warehousing, value added logistics, container trucking, FTL transport, with or without liquid tanks and tailor-made solutions for customers who need a partner that can think along and act quickly.

But no matter how much we grow, one thing must never disappear: the family character with which Trippaers 1.0 once began. The short lines. The involvement. The pride in our work. The red line that runs through our story, from Trippaers 1.0 to Trippaers Transport & Logistics 3.0 and today is also visible on our trucks with #redline.

The red line keeps moving.

We would therefore like to thank everyone who has been part of this story over the past 40 years: our customers for their trust, our suppliers and partners for their cooperation and above all our employees and drivers for their commitment, loyalty and dedication.

Without you, 40 years of Trippaers Transport would not have been possible.

We look back with pride at where we come from, but above all with great enthusiasm at where we want to grow next.

On to the next kilometers.

Kind regards,

Trippaers Transport & Logistics
