Rutges originated as a transport company in the early 1960s, by the Rutges family in Gouda. Later, Rutges became part of Royal Pakhoed (today known as Royal Vopak). During these years Rutges mainly transported steel and tanks.<\/h3>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

At the end of the 1970s, Rutges started transporting air freight. Also for the major airlines such as KLM and Air France.<\/h3>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Rutges grew into a full-fledged air freight carrier and pioneer in the field of air freight transport within Europe.<\/h3>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Rutges continued to invest in its vehicle fleet, encouraging the continued growth of the company. From the 90s, Rutges was given a new branding style, with the well-known Rutges logo together with the white and green tones on all its vehicles.<\/h3>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As of 2015, Rutges Cargo Europe was bought by Vincent van \u2018t Schip. A new course and clear vision was rolled out in which Rutges would specialize in niche markets and distinguishes itself in the transport of special cargoes.<\/h3>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
