Amsterdam, 10th October - TIP Group is celebrating 55 years of delivering equipment solutions tailored to evolving customers’ needs.

Established in 1968, TIP first introduced the concept of trailer rental to the Dutch and Canadian transportation market. Since then, the company has expanded its reach into other European countries. Now, TIP Group is recognized as a leading one-stop-shop equipment services provider, serving customers from a vast network of over 130 locations across 18 countries in Europe and Canada.

Originally focusing on the lease and rent of trucks and trailers, the company also extended their offers to provide more comprehensive services, including maintenance and repair for both rented and customer-owned equipment throughout its lifecycle, as well as the sale of used equipment.
Additionally, in 2020, they completed their offers with advanced digital solutions, TIP Insight, to provide customers with real-time visibility and analytics, fostering efficiency in today’s ever-changing landscape.
By 2022, TIP Group has widened its scope into a more holistic profile, being a one-stop-shop service provider.
