We make international logistics easy
Axis-Flow was founded in Almelo, in the heart of a region where trade and logistics are deeply rooted. Building on this foundation, we combine Dutch pragmatism with an international network that spans the globe.
We believe in transparency, direct communication, and delivering on our promises. No unnecessary complexity—just an approach that works. Thanks to this mindset, we have become a trusted partner for companies that want to maintain control over their international logistics without having to rely on multiple parties.
What you can expect from us.
Because they know exactly what to expect. Start with a single shipment. Then you’ll see the difference.
You call one number. We'll take care of the rest
No five different parties, no being transferred from one person to another, no miscommunication. From ocean freight to customs, a single point of contact oversees the entire process.
Transport with lower emissions
We offer standard sustainable options such as rail and inland waterway transport. These options allow you to reduce the CO2 emissions of your transport without compromising on reliability or efficiency.
Express deliveries are always taken care of
Time-sensitive shipment? We’ll spring into action and choose the fastest route. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way, so you’ll know exactly when your delivery will arrive.
Dutch, reliable, operating worldwide
Based in Almelo, we operate globally with a no-nonsense approach. A deal is a deal. You can count on clear communication, without any beating around the bush or ambiguity.
Always keep track of your shipment
You don’t have to ask where your goods are. We’ll keep you informed. No surprises later on regarding costs, delays, or routes—just complete transparency from start to finish.
Efficient solutions
For every shipment, we determine the optimal balance of speed, cost, and reliability. Whether it’s by sea, air, or a combination of both, you’ll receive the most efficient solution.

Planning and Organization
We handle everything behind the scenes: bookings, documentation, customs, and coordination with partners worldwide. You’ll have a single point of contact and receive clear updates on the progress of your shipment.
Shipping and Delivery
Your shipment will be transported via the selected route, with real-time tracking of its status. We monitor the entire process all the way to the final destination to ensure that everything is delivered on time and as agreed.
The meaning behind Axis-Flow
Our name says exactly what we stand for. Axis is the axis: the central hub around which your logistics revolve. A single point where everything comes together. Flow is the flow: the continuous movement of goods, without interruptions. Together, they form the core of how we operate.
We ensure that your supply chain runs smoothly and stays on track. From planning to execution, we keep everything in balance. This results in a logistics process that is not only efficient, but also predictable and reliable—worldwide and in every situation.

What exactly do you handle?
We handle global shipping and customs clearance, from request to delivery. You have a single point of contact. We take care of the entire process for you.
Is my shipment insured?
Standard liability under the Warsaw Convention is set at 26 SDR per kilogram, approximately €31.87. For high-value machine parts, we can provide supplementary all-risk insurance covering the invoice value upon request.
Which mode of transportation is best?
That depends on your desired delivery speed and budget. Air freight is the fastest, while ocean freight is the most cost-effective. Rail freight falls somewhere in between. We always recommend the best option for your situation.
What documents do I need to submit?
Standard: packing slip, commercial invoice, and HS code for each item. For exports outside the EU, we also provide an EUR.1 form or a certificate of origin, depending on the destination country. We review your documents in advance and notify you of any missing information before the shipment departs.
