HISTORY

The history of DANDOY starts early 1925, at the heart of Belgium’s capital, Brussels.

1925
At that time, the company focused on transportation activities within and around the European capital. Being one of the only two transportation companies operating in Brussels, DANDOY saw its business growing rapidly. The sudden death of our founder, Edmond Dandoy, during World War II, slowed down the development of the family firm. In 1945, Jean Dandoy succeeded his father as head of the company.

With the constant concern to better serve our customers, DANDOY started delivery to France and Italy. In 1977, Jean Dandoy's son Vincent joined the family business and made ​​France a priority for the company. This would soon come to represent our core business.

DANDOY’s logo through the years.

Adaptability from day one – 1925

In order to maximise the available space use, our unique, unusual pentagon shaped trucks slid under Brussels’ tiny bridges without trouble – allowing us to transport more than any other carrier at the time.

No-nonsense and to the point – 2000

With the turn of the century, DANDOY was ready for the next gear. A more simple, sober logo symbolised our no-nonsense approach: to fully commit to splendid service in every step of the logistics process.

Ready for the future – 2013

The same striking red and professional blue, combined with the iconic pentagon shape, entirely modernised: completely ready for the future – but with the same adaptability as in the old days.
