1959 Jan Cabooter was the founder and therefore 1st generation of the Cabooter company, focussed on customs services. His first office was right at the border between the Netherlands and Germany. Over the years, he managed to expand the company by creating more and more affiliated offices on several border towns.

1976 Gerard Cabooter, as son of Jan, became the 2nd generation entering the company. He started to focus more on the transport and logistics part of the border area. Besides this, he began to invest in logistical real estate.

1996 Eric and Hans Cabooter, both sons of Gerard and thus the 3rd generation, took over the day-to-day management from Gerard and continued to successfully expand the business. They began to focus on rail transport, warehousing and participating in other industries. This organic growth allowed the company to expand to several locations and terminals.

2008 marked the start of a new era for the Cabooter Group. With the strategic decision to divest its freight forwarding business and focus on rail mobility, the company embarked on a remarkable journey of growth and expansion. Fifteen years later, Cabooter Group has three state-of-the-art terminals in the Netherlands and Germany, a logistical footprint of 550,000 square metres and a workforce of over 300 family members.
