Wetron has a Quality management system based on ISO 9001 guidelines, by which processes can be analyzed and optimized. The performance is continuously monitored. Because of this we can adjust and optimize the processes when necessary.
Safety
The fleet of Wetron is fully equipped for ADR transport and certified with SQAS (Safety and Quality Assessment System). Our drivers receive regular ADR and safety courses concerning cargo security. Moreover, Wetron is in possession of a IFS 2.3 certificate. This means that Wetron may transport and store food and non-food goods.
Sustainability
Sustainability has been one of the top priorities for years at Wetron. Wetron is one of the founders in intermodal transport from and to Italy. Our train operates on electricity as a result of which the CO2 emission greatly decreases. This is how Wetron has already saved tons of CO2. We combine the modalities road and rails to optimize the flow of goods, bundle volumes and reduce the CO2 emission during transport. Sustainability is getting more important and the demand for sustainable transport is increasing. Calculating the total CO2 emission and decreasing this is a service we can also offer.
Wetron has received the Lean and Green award for this achievement.
Other than saving CO2 via intermodal transport Wetron is also busy with other ways of sustainable entrepreneurship. Multiple trucks already use HVO fuel. This is fuel on vegetable oil basis. With this we can even further reduce the CO2 emission. In addition to this the majority of our trucks have cleaner EEV and Euro 6 engines.

Stefan
Head of the planning department
I have been employed at Wetron since 2011 and in the meantime I have received many opportunities within the business. There’s a good work environment and there is a balance between professionalism and having a laugh in between work. I can say we have a good connection among us colleagues, and sometimes they even feel like family. The staff association organizes multiple events each year. For example Sint Nicholas, a family day and every Friday we are welcome for an afternoon drink after work.

BJORN
Driver
Since 2 years I have been employed at TransMission. I started out as a intern, then I became a warehouse employee and now I’m a driver for TransMission. Within 1,5 years I have obtained all possible drivers licenses due to the trust of the company. Ever since I was young, I knew that I wanted to be a truck driver because I always loved to go with my dad in the truck. He is also a driver at TransMission. I especially like the freedom on the road and the work atmosphere.

future at
TransMission!"

Mentor Driver
This year is my 25th jubilee working at TransMission. It is my responsibility as a mentor driver to support other drivers with their activities. I teach them how to handle their vehicles. I am their first point of contact. Every day at TransMission is full of new challenges. There are events on a regular basis for team bonding. When it’s busy, we all work together to finish our jobs for the day.
