This second generation of leadership brings a fresh perspective to the industry. We are transforming from a traditional transport company into a tech-driven, sustainable logistics partner. By investing in the largest electric fleet in the business and smart digital solutions, we ensure that the Pieter Smit Group remains the heartbeat of the European event scene for decades to come.
We believe in a "personal touch at a professional scale." Whether it’s a stadium tour or a local theatre production, the entire team are committed to one goal: making sure the show goes on, cleaner and better than ever before.
