Recter & van der Veere

Recter & van der Veere is part of the CJ Hendriks group.
Since the beginning of the previous century, Recter en van der Veere (first registered with KvK (Kamer van Koophandel – Chamber of Commerce) in 1915) has been active in providing logistic services in Amsterdam.
Initially, the main activity was the transfer of goods from sea ships to towed barges which transported the goods to the merchants’ warehouses along Amsterdam’s canals. On these barges, the wares were weighed, sampled and cleared through customs. In the years that followed, Recter en van der Veere embraced modern developments such as telex, fax, e-mail and computers.
Today, thanks to EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) applications, barcode scanners, and electronic communications with government bodies and shipping companies, this well-known business remains young and dynamic. Recter en van der Veere has been part of the CJ Hendriks group since 2007, and has been located in Amsterdam’s western docklands area, together with Veem- en Expeditiebedrijf Diergaarde, since May 2007.
