GateExpress

GateExpress is an international logistics provider that specializes in time‑critical freight forwarding, door‑to‑door delivery, and supply‑chain management services. Founded in 2012 by a group of transport engineers and former airline executives, the company is headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and operates a network of hubs across Europe, Asia, North America, and the Middle East. GateExpress began as a niche carrier focusing on same‑day and next‑day shipments for high‑value electronic goods and has since expanded its portfolio to include temperature‑controlled cargo, hazardous materials, and e‑commerce fulfillment.

The firm relies on a proprietary digital platform that integrates real‑time tracking, automated customs clearance, and predictive analytics to optimize routing and reduce transit times. Its technology suite includes an API that allows customers to embed shipment data directly into enterprise resource planning systems. GateExpress also offers value‑added services such as cargo insurance, packaging consultancy, and reverse‑logistics handling.

Sustainability is a stated corporate priority; the company reports a gradual shift toward low‑emission vehicles, participation in carbon‑offset programs, and adherence to ISO 14001 environmental management standards. As of 2024, GateExpress reported annual revenues of approximately €820 million and employs over 4,200 staff worldwide. The organization is privately held, with major equity stakes owned by its founding partners and a consortium of institutional investors.
