The holidays are approaching! This means that things will be slightly different in the transport and logistics sector. Due to the closure of companies, both in the Netherlands and abroad, this may affect transport to and from certain destinations. That is why we would like to inform you about our services in December and January.
We remain at your service
As you have come to expect from HST Group, we will also be there for you in December. We are happy to work with you to find customized solutions. Please contact your HST representative or our customer service department so that we can find the best solution for your transport needs.
