Pan-European logistics operator with 18 branches and 144k m² warehouse capacity
KLG Europe runs a logistics network across 18 European branches with owned trucking, warehousing, and rail capacity. The tech stack is dominated by legacy transport-management and warehouse systems (Quintiq, TMS, WMS, EDI), paired with standard enterprise tools (Teams, Power BI, Active Directory). Current hiring is heavily skewed toward logistics and operations roles (46 of 71 open positions), with only 3 engineering roles active—indicating a traditional logistics operator investing incrementally in digitalization rather than building software-first capabilities.

KLG Europe is a privately held logistics provider headquartered in Venlo, Netherlands, with 18 branches spanning the Netherlands, Romania, Serbia, and the United Kingdom. The company operates as a full-service logistics network offering road transport, rail, sea and air freight, intermodal solutions, customs clearance, warehousing, and contract logistics. Infrastructure includes 144,300 m² of warehouse capacity, 310 trucks, and 400 trailers, plus participation in European network partnerships (24plus, ASTRE) and a China-Europe rail joint venture (NSWL). Core service lines focus on European groupage shipments and French-market coverage, where KLG holds market-leading positioning. The organization operates on a unified operating model called ONE KLG, standardizing processes and quality across branches.
KLG uses Quintiq and TMS (transport-management systems) as core operational platforms, supported by WMS for warehouse operations and EDI for shipment data exchange. Power BI handles reporting; Teams, Outlook, and Active Directory manage internal collaboration and IT infrastructure.
Active projects include TMS optimization, HR strategy implementation, ISO 9001 quality-system development, logistics process digitalization, and internal control systems. Pain points center on fixed-lane availability, workload balancing, and margin optimization across European routes.
