Dry Chemicals

Demand for raw materials for the chemical industry is growing. And Van den Bosch is growing along with it. Over recent years we have developed extensive capabilities, particularly in the field of transporting powders. In fact we have become European market leader in pressurised silo containers used for this transportation specialism.

Market leader

Our 40ft silo containers are used for transport by road, rail and sea. Thanks to continuous investment in equipment and collaboration with shipping partners, shipping companies and carriers, we offer a comprehensive European network for transporting dry bulk goods. We have the largest pressurised silo container fleet in the world and continue to develop ourselves by opening new markets and optimising transport flows.

Transporting powders

Pressurised silo containers with a capacity of 59m3 to 65m3 are ideal for transporting powders, such as starch and PVC powder. By transporting products with a lower specific weight in 40ft silo containers, we also maximise payloads. That really pays off in terms of costs and sustainability because it reduces the number of shipments.

Safety first

Safety is the top priority at Van den Bosch. Our loading units are specifically intended for the transport of chemical raw materials. Our drivers are also specially trained for this specialisation within bulk logistics. They are knowledgeable, understand their profession and have an irresistible passion for it: from loading to transporting and unloading on site. Our transport partners also complete intensive training to ensure quality and safety.

Forwarding solutions

Although Van den Bosch has the largest silo pressure container fleet in the world, we look beyond our own loading units. Within our growing forwarding network, we seek cooperation with other bulk carriers. Based on geography and product, we offer the best solution for your products, both road transport and intermodal. We take into account your personal preferences and compare various alternatives. The choice is up to you.
