Transport company

De Grenskoerier was a transport company owned by H.J. Kempers. Followers of our Facebook page recalled, among other things, that it was located on Dinxperlosestraatweg, at what is now the corner of Nijverheidsweg and Dinxperlosestraatweg.

In 1964, transport company De Grenskoerier was taken over by Geldersche Tramwegen, giving GTW a road freight service to North Brabant. GTW had its transhipment facilities here and at the border. The business later moved to ‘s-Heerenberg, eventually becoming part of P&O.
