Ahrma Holding Completes Acquisition of Royal Dirkzwager


Ahrma Holding has taken over Royal Dirkzwager. By combining the expertise and qualities of Ahrma and Royal Dirkzwager in 24/7 service and support, current and future customers of both companies will  benefit greatly.

Royal Dirkzwager’s Control Room will expand its 24/7 operational service and IT support to Ahrma’s customers worldwide. Ahrma’s IT department will be relocated from Deventer to Maassluis and an ambitious investment programme in the latest IT technology will be executed during 2020.

Ahrma is a young and dynamic Logistics IT company with its headquarters and production plant in Deventer, The Netherlands. Ahrma also has regional offices in Asia and the US, serving clients’ logistics in the industrial food, beverage, pharmaceutical and retail industries.

Ahrma’s ultimate purpose is to reduce food and product waste by creating a more sustainable global supply chain. Customers active in FMCG, Retail and Industrial segments experience pain points within their supply chains such as damaged and perished products, lost products and substantial chain inefficiencies. By creating complete visibility in the supply chain with smart assets like pallets, crates and promotional display units, capturing movements, temperature and shocks Ahrma addresses these pain points. The data which is captured from these smart assets is supported by a Control Room and made available as intelligence to its customers. This enables full transparency in the supply chain in order to lower the total logistic cost and creates sustainability benefits.
