It's all about people at Rabelink
With us, but also when it comes to our partners and customers. We are looking for long-term partnerships, where standards and values have to match. Who we are and what we stand for can be found below: our mission, vision and core values, our facts and figures and our team.
We are Rabelink.
This is our story
At Rabelink, we put our hearts and souls into complex logistics issues every day. But above all with a heart for each other and the people around us.
By listening and combining that with knowledge, skills and experience, we find solutions that really make a difference. Solutions that help our customers, but also the environment. Our story is the story of true cooperation, looking for improvements every day and going the extra mile every day. By taking our core values #turningpeople #stopneverlearning, #goforquality and #thinkingtheworld seriously. Every single day. If you work at or with Rabelink, you will notice it. The real Rabelink feeling. That's what we stand for, what we all work hard for.
We are proud of it.

Mission & vision
We are working towards a sustainable logistics future. That starts with human relationships and ends with smart tailor-made solutions. We are the place where complex logistics issues are solved.
It's all about people
The people make Rabelink. We are a team. We work together on logistics solutions that really make a difference. We cannot do this alone - we seek connection with our customers and partners. We listen to them and give them attention.
This is what we mean
People make Rabelink. From the reception to the warehouse and from the drivers to the management team. Our people are our unique recipe. For us, equal and human relationships are a prerequisite for successful cooperation.
This is what we do
We believe in the power of the collective. By combining and sharing knowledge, we find solutions that really make a difference. We do it together with our customers and partners. We listen and understand their world. We think along and are flexible. We take time and space to work on long-term solutions and make a difference.
It is important that we grow as a company and are innovative. That is why we invest in knowledge and competence. But the most important thing is that everyone is in their right place. That is why we encourage it when colleagues want to change their role within Rabelink.
Never stop learning
In doing so, we always look at the people themselves, rather than their background. "Of course, you have to give a motivation to do a training course. You do have to think about how it contributes to your work. If you can substantiate that, a lot is possible. On sales, I expanded and improved my skills and knowledge. The courses confirmed that I was already doing a lot well, but I also learnt a lot more. Ultimately, it led to me now working with larger accounts. You get better at your job, can support clients better and learn to handle situations and challenges better."
Here's what we mean
As an approved apprenticeship company, we train people. We give opportunities to young employees and work a lot with trainees who want to progress internally or come in to follow a pathway. Our intention is to retain people. We like to share experiences and knowledge and learn from their findings and their fresh views and original ways of thinking. This is how we help each other move forward.
Here's what we do
We always remain curious and open-minded. We follow trends and future topics in logistics and adapt our supply chain. We talk a lot with customers, ask each other questions and constantly look for ways to do things better. We dare to experiment and investigate. Making mistakes is allowed, to learn from them. We are not afraid to ask questions and take a critical look at ourselves. We always keep moving and never stop learning.
High-quality service is important to us. Every day, we take a critical look at practice and look for ways to make things better and easier.
Go for quality
Everything is tailor-made. We ask our customers why they do something a certain way. We often then come up with a better solution together with the customer. A solution that really fits.
To keep our quality at a high level, we are innovative and grow along with the ambitions and wishes of our customers and the market. We think about how we can work faster, more reliable, more transparent and cleaner, with good ideas coming from the shop floor. We link these ideas to smart ICT solutions and a clear long-term vision.
We further develop into a service provider with a broad and powerful European network that takes care of the entire physical flow of goods for its customers and offers value added services. All this in good harmony with our employees, the environment and the surroundings.
Our work leaves a footprint on our environment. We feel responsible for that. Step by step, together with our partners, we are working towards a climate-neutral chain. Sustainability goes beyond the environment. We look at People, Planet, Profit. It is about a good balance between social and economic aspects and the environment.
Think about the world
We are constantly making strides. We received a Lean & Green Star in 2018 after managing to reduce our CO2 emissions by 54 per cent. We are going for a second star by reducing our CO2 emissions by another 10 per cent within three years.
In our locations, we work continuously to reduce our energy consumption. Energy scans map out what measures we can take. With football fields full of solar panels on the roofs of our locations, we are greening our consumption.
We train drivers to drive as economically as possible, we have a Ventech system that optimises the tyre pressure of tractors and trailers. This means less CO2 emissions, lower costs and less tyre wear and much less particulate emissions. The first two e-trucks are now in operation.
We work continuously to optimise our load factor, which means we cover greater distances with fewer kilometres. We are a member of Netwerk Benelux and the CTL network. Every day, we take steps towards greater sustainability. And we will continue to do so.
Rabelink Logistics.
Impressive
Strong and reliable networks
We partner with strong networks to reach Europe: Network Benelux (NBX) and the originally German CTL network. The partners transfer shipments to each other daily to distribute them in their own catchment areas. It's a win-win-win situation: fewer kilometres, lower costs, optimal load factor and less environmental impact.
To reach the world, we are a member of the global WCA network (air and sea freight). We are in direct contact with local partners and arrange shipping quickly and reliably.
