About us

From Hoogvliet (Rotterdam) we assemble 500 vehicles per year. Together with 36 colleagues we get this done and we are proud of that. The key is working with short lines. This way we deliver efficient construction and quality. Our production includes various disciplines, such as machining, welding, painting, assembly and electrical assembly.

Our consultants drive across the country to help improve logistics processes within organizations. In addition, several service departments are ready to perform emergency and scheduled maintenance. In this way, we guard a high level of service. A standard we have stood for for 80 years. In this way, Spijkstaal vehicles keep running smoothly and we keep breakdowns to a minimum.

Made in Holland

Spijkstaal has strong ties to the Netherlands that go back as far as 85 years. The company is deeply rooted in Dutch society and gained iconic status with its famous old SRV wagon. Generations of Dutch people remember the familiar sight of the SRV cart driving through the streets, loaded with all kinds of products and services.

Spijkstaal has left a lasting impression on Dutch culture and continues to innovate and contribute to the mobility of our country. It is a symbol of craftsmanship, reliability and tradition, and a valuable part of Dutch history.
