AKZONOBEL ABOUT DHB

Henry Strikker (left), logistics manager of Sikkens Commercial Distribution (Netherlands), values the knowledge, reliability and flexibility of DHB:

"Up until a few years ago, we worked with 9 distribution centres and around 20 transport companies for the organisation of our distribution. Now we use only 1 company: DHB."

"Our water-based paints are damaged during transport in frosty conditions. When that problem first arose, DHB sent out twice as many lorries for us, in order to keep the transport time as short as possible! Personally I found that very impressive. In the meantime, DHB has even provided a large number of lorries with cargo space heating."

"The people at DHB are truly positively focused. Both at management level and driver level. This last aspect is more than just a detail. For the drivers of DHB, through their daily deliveries, come into contact with our clients more often than our own sales force! It is thus very important that you can count on people that feel committed in what they do for us."

Taco de Jong (right), AkzoNobel Car Refinishes Transport & Trade Manager awards his distribution partner a 'triple A-rating':

"What played a strong part in our choice is that DHB has business knowledge, especially when it comes to the handling of hazardous materials."

”The combination of extreme professionalism and the 'local touch' gives greater added value to the relationship. By 'local touch' I mean the following: if I have a question or problem, I do not have to contact a company call centre. Instead I can contact the management directly and I do not need to wait an age for a reply."
