History


	Between Word War I and II, Leon Mattheeuws, a trader in hay, straw and coal started offering transport services locally. After 1945, the trade and transport was motorised with leftover military US and UK equipment.
After the death of both himself and his wife in 1958, his two eldest sons took over the care of the other children and the business.
In the early sixties, each of the three sons started their own business. The most successful was BVBA MATTHEEUWS VANDER VENNET. In the late seventies the two eldest children joined the business. In the early eighties some twenty tipper combinations were on the roads every week to countries as far as Denmark, Spain, Italy and the UK. In 1989 the company was sold by the owning parents.

Their son Eric Mattheeuws started in 1990 with his spouse Beatrice Matthys the company NV Mattheeuws Eric Transport. This transport company, that had three employees in 1990, has evolved by 2008 into a professional 3LP (3rd party logistic provider) with more than 90 employees spread between 7 companies in three countries. A spin-off company, active in the petrol distribution activity is brought under in the company RomacFuels.
