Organisation

Our business has a global reach with operations on three continents, and in Europe we are the undisputed market leader. With 2,909* employees in 13 countries and more than 300 depots around the globe, we are able to maintain a local presence and remain close to our customers.

We are a decentralised service company with a distributed organisation that comprises a strong base of unit managers, for whom local entrepreneurship is the foundation for success.

Creating a simple organisation is a vital principle in a decentralised service organisation that aims to build a business of local entrepreneurs supported by global guidelines. We continuously reinforce the importance of clear accountabilities and teams large enough to be efficient, yet small enough to make quick decisions. This enables us to respond swiftly to our customers’ needs, which is crucial in our business.
