Our story

As Bidon|Fritom our roots lie in the Dutch province of Overijssel. Due to its strategic location our parking lot and garage are located here as well. 

1971: The origin of Melkweg Zwolle

Melkweg Bolsward starts up Melkweg Zwolle in May 1971 as a continuation of the tank transportation company founded by the Jansen family. This company drives for dairy factories in Overijssel and Gelderland. Their biggest client is the whey product factory in Borculo.

Two years prior, the company Melkweg was founded in Friesland under the initiative of the transport entrepreneur Jan Wiersma from Bolsward, who saw opportunities in the new type of transportation of milk from farm to factory: milk collection. In this plan, he involved the enterprises Veenstra from Heeg, Kuipers from Oosterzee, and Doorenbos from Bolsward.

1989: Melkweg intermodal tanktransportation

In 1989 the company Melkweg Müller Combination was founded which was specialized in intermodal transport of liquid food with tankcontainers. From 2006 the name changed into Melkweg|Fritom and the intermodal tank transport was combined with the bulk milk collection into 1 company. From Bolsward we now organize the transport of food, feed and technical products by road, water and rails.

2003: New name and move to Enter

In 2003 the food divisions of Melkweg Zwolle and Müller Transport Holten unite under a new name: Müller Melkweg Transport. Together, they move to Enter.

Onze expertise gaat verder voor u
Bidon Met Melkweg

Specialized in niche markets

We operate in niche markets and are specialized in, amongst other things, the transport of chocolate for various large producers. Chocolate is a beautiful product that comes with specific demands for transport, as it is a temperature-sensitive product. Our tankers meet all requirements to ensure our clients’ chocolate stays liquid during transport. The knowledge and expertise of our drivers is of importance for the quality and efficiency of this supply chain. They, for example, make sure that product residue in the tankers is at its minimum, helping the client save costs.

New market developments

In addition to the transport of chocolate we focus on horizontal expansion by transporting technical products for industrial clients. For this we use tanker trucks specifically designed to transport tech products. These developments allow us to expand our expertise and therefore offer even more clients the best possible logistic solution.
