Who are we?
Couwels & Co welcomes you on her website.
As forwarding agent, situated in Wuustwezel at about 20km above Antwerp, we are pleased to offer you our services to organise the transport or shipment of your goods by road troughout Europe or by sea worldwide.
Within Europe we strongly focus on transport to Switzerland. A service for which you can rely on more then 60 years of experience. The founder Jos Couwels was one of the first forwarders/hauliers in the early fifties who drove from Antwerp to Basel.
With a fleet of more then 10 trucks, all driven by belgian drivers, we have daily departures fromt the Benelux towards Switzerland for full loads as well as for part loads.
Obviously we can also take care of all custom formalities such as the establishment of the necessary documents (exportdocument, importdocument, transitdocument, EUR-1 document,...) as well as settlement of the VAT and duties.
Apart from Switzerland we have regular services to Great Britain, Ireland, Germany and Austria. For these destinations we rely on our fixed partners with whom we work together for many years.
As forwarding agent we don’t only offer road transport but we can handle also your shipments oversea (export and import) with the greatest care. We come and load your goods at your warehouse and ship them via Antwerp or Rotterdam to the other side of the world, untill the port of destination or a door-delivery.
We can treat all kinds of shipments such as containers (dry containers, flats, open tops, reefers), LCL, breakbulk, roro,...
On top of that, we can offer thanks to our partner (and at the same time our owner) Transport Van Aperen other logistic services : warehousing, stuffing or stripping of containers, trucking of containers,...
For every logistic related question, Couwels & Co can give you an answer.
