The company’s history began in the 1940s with a simple truck workshop. Since then, we have steadily extended our value chain. We added sales and rental and then, our second pillar, beverage logistics. Despite all our developments and additional services, one thing has remained the same over the years: for the Holfelder family, everything revolves around trucks and trucking.
We have consistently followed this path since our foundation and will continue to invest in the future – to do so, we will commit our time and efforts to opening up new locations, offering new services and meeting the needs of our customers.
