Royal Swinkels Family Brewers and Budbee enter partnership

Collaboration between Royal Swinkels Family Brewers and Budbee

After a successful trial period, during which several brands of beer from the multibrand shop Uiltje sold directly to consumers, the official cooperation is now beginning. Gradually, Swinkels' other online stores in the Netherlands will also be added to this process.

Swinkels Family Brewers has chosen Budbee as its partner for environmentally friendly and customer-oriented delivery. The clear information on delivery and Budbee's positive customer experience were decisive factors in entering into this partnership. In the future, Swinkels Family Brewers and Budbee aim for joint international expansion.

Environmentally conscious package delivery

Swinkels Family Brewers is committed to sustainability. This commitment is visible in every phase of operations. To ensure that all deliveries are made in an environmentally conscious manner, 100% recyclable packaging with the FSC logo is used and efforts are made to fill every box as completely as possible. This approach not only reduces shipping costs for customers, but also minimizes the environmental impact of transportation.

In selecting a new fulfillment partner, Swinkels Family Brewers carefully considered the sustainability practices of each potential candidate. The final choice was Budbee, a logtech company from Sweden with a strong track record of emission reduction. In fact, Budbee recently announced a 50% emissions reduction and are the first last-mile delivery company to offer full transparency on fuel consumption in their supply chain. By working with Budbee, Swinkels Family Brewers can take another step towards sustainable and responsible business practices.

Budbee and Royal Swinkels Family Brewers join forces

John Mouthaan, Head of Digital Sales at Swinkels Family Brewers: "At Swinkels Family Brewers, we would like to strengthen our business in the e-commerce channel and we want to do that with strong and reliable partners. For us, the added value of Budbee is in the customer experience and sustainable delivery. Customers ordering online are very well informed about the package's journey through a customer-friendly Budbee portal and the push and text message notifications the customer receives. This results in better customer appreciation, fewer questions from consumers about where their package has gone and therefore fewer logistical movements."

Jørgen Höppener, General Manager Netherlands at Budbee: "It is great to see that the core values of an established name like Swinkels Family Brewers fit so seamlessly with Budbee. Together we want to offer the best customer experience and contribute to climate improvement by investing in green logistics solutions. More and more retailers recognize that a strong focus on climate neutral delivery, both with Budbee's door-to-door delivery and our popular Budbee Box parcel lockers, is the future."
