Centuries of expertise

We know what we are talking about. Because Rotterdam has a long history in trade and shipping dating back to the 16th century. Many trading companies started out or became leading players in Rotterdam.

For example, Unilever, Vitol, SHV Energy, renowned tea trader Van Rees, peanut trader Aldebaran, Catz, a leading trader in nuts, and Nidera and Cebeco, which specialise in grain.
