History

For more than 30 years...

Always in motion

It all started with a small road construction company in a brickworks in Nederhemert. Founder Bertie van Rooij, together with his father, saw opportunities in the stevedoring sector and that was the start of something beautiful. The history of Stuwadoorsbedrijf van Rooij goes back to before 1989, when they started transferring containers.

Since 1989, the company has been known as Stuwarooij. We take pride in our role as a logistics service provider, where security, trust and quality are key.

Soon the demand for more staff came from the market, and so a temporary employment agency was set up alongside Stuwarooij, renamed Want 2 Work in 1992. Both companies form the basis of the Angrisa Group as you know it today.
