About us
50 years of Castelein Logistics
A family business in its third generation, building the logistics of tomorrow today.
Our story
A family business, three generations
Grandfather Walter laid the foundations. Father Emmanuel built the company further and was ahead of his time in the choices he made. Today brother and sister Carl and Isabel Castelein lead the company together, as the third generation.
What began as a family business grew into a modern logistics company that looks ahead more than ever, while keeping its family character.
Our vision
Thinking in generations, not quarters
"Have respect for your company in the long term, and in the long term your company will respect you."
Carl Castelein, CEO
We invest when it is difficult and keep believing in the future. Not because it is easy, but because those who do not invest in the future hand the future away.
Our ambition: to connect transport, warehousing, energy, data and technology even more closely. With an electric fleet, automated warehouse solutions, our own energy management and real-time data, we are already building the logistics of tomorrow. Artificial intelligence plays its part too: not as a hype, but as a tool to work smarter, more efficiently and more proactively.
The Future Delivered Today. Not waiting, but leading the way.
Our values
The same values as when it all began
Entrepreneurship

Respect
Trust and respect for people: our drivers, our colleagues, our customers and our partners.
Innovation
From the first walking floors for wood chips to electric trucks, real-time visibility and an automated warehouse.
Long-term thinking
We invest for the next generation, also when times are hard.
