Flower bulb transport
Flower bulb transport – fast, careful, and season-proof
Van Dooren Transport has been rooted in the Bollenstreek region since 1895. We are still a close-knit family business (now in its fifth generation), and the transport of flower bulbs remains an important part of what we do.
For you, that means experience, continuity, and delivery reliability. Especially during peak periods.

E-Commerce / Mail Order
Throughout our history, we have driven for many large mail order companies specializing in indoor and outdoor plants. In recent years, our customers have seen the market shift from mail order to e-commerce. It is no easy task to deliver living products very quickly and in good condition throughout Europe. Because we provide transport for various major players in this market, we can make many combinations and therefore ‘switch gears’ quickly.
Day A for Day A: loaded this morning, delivered today
Thanks to our coverage, we can offer the Day A for Day A service: we load in the morning and deliver to your customer the same day. This prevents quality loss and keeps your turnaround time short.
What are the benefits for you?
- Less time between harvest/processing and delivery
- Less risk of loss of quality
- Tighter chain planning (especially for day trading and promotions)
Container logistics: quick changes with stock at our facility
Throughout the seasons, we have packaging in stock from > 50 trading and export companies. This means you quickly have the right packaging, fewer vehicle movements, and a lower CO₂ footprint.
Advantages for you:
- Shorter turnaround time for your orders
- Less waiting time at export companies and at the nursery due to a very high degree of shipment combination
- Fewer kilometers → lower CO₂ emissions
