Fomula 2000
One of our customers, Strapex from Maarssenbroek, was looking for a Formula 2000 sponsor. At first, Van Vliet Transport regarded this as being an attractive proposition. Unfortunately, the car did not perform as well as intended. After additional financial investment, the car performed so well that its driver parked into the crash barrier at the Zolder race circuit in Belgium! End of sponsorship contract.
First Premises in IJsselstein
Van Vliet Transport's first newly constructed premises on the Energieweg in IJsselstein. After only a few years, new premises had to be found due to the company's explosive growth. Construction of our current premises commenced at the end of 2005.
