SITRA Group, the reference since 1962

SITRA, a company with a story

The Sitra Group's success story began on 31 March 1962 when Robert Saelens founded Saelens Inter Transport in Geluveld in Zonnebeke. Martial and Frank Saelens, Robert's children, pursued the path of diversification. They were looking for specific niche markets and specialised in the transport of foodstuffs in various forms, both in Europe and abroad.

Since 1962, the Sitra Group has become the market leader in food logistics and is able to transport, store and process foodstuffs in all different forms. These include powders, liquids and pallets.

International player with substantial expertise

International expansion, joint ventures and a strategic takeover policy have made SITRA Group what it is today: an ultramodern transport company with solid ambitions for further growth. SITRA specialises in the transport and logistics of food products in all of their forms. From local artisans to international multinationals, we offer the best formulas available for every branch of the food sector.

Meanwhile we employ more than 1,000 staff and not only do we continue to invest in sustainable transport solutions for raw materials, we also strive for optimum collaboration with our partners.

If you enjoyed a good meal today, odds are the ingredients of that meal were transported by SITRA.
