Cory Brothers opens Rotterdam office

Located in Rhoon, the office provides Cory Brothers’ freight forwarding services across all international trade lanes. It specialises in energy, offshore oil and gas, dredging, project cargo, construction, food processing and mobilisation and demobilisation projects worldwide.

Melvin Breukel, formerly of Steder Group, has been named general manager of the office. Joining him in Rotterdam are Peter van Nieuwkasteele as commercial manager; Bob Lubbers as Customs manager; Otto Hogerwaard, Nora Santhagen and Thijs Moret as project forwarders; and forwarder Nikki Hanswijk.

The team have worked together for over 10 years and have vast experience in imports, exports, Customs clearance, door-to-door deliveries, cross trades, road transport, project management and chartering.

Breukel said: “The Netherlands is the ideal location to further develop the Cory business in Europe and beyond. It’s an exciting time for me, my team, and new colleagues… Our experience in new routes, new sectors and customer service provide a broader connection to existing customers whilst opening new potential for North West Europe, Africa and the Middle East among other key trade lanes”.
