Looking back with pride, moving forward with confidence: a new phase for K-tainer
Published on 6 May 2026
After 26 years of entrepreneurship, dedication, and growth, a new chapter begins for the K-tainer Group. Founder and CEO Kees Kamerling is stepping down from his role and transferring day-to-day leadership to Pascal Lammerts van Bueren, effective immediately. A carefully considered succession that not only ensures continuity but also reinforces the company’s ambitions for the future.
Since its founding, Kees Kamerling has built the company into a solid and respected player within the industry. What started as an entrepreneurial vision has, together with a driven and committed team, grown into an organization where quality, collaboration, and reliability are at the core.
“It has been and is a remarkable journey to build the company from day one and grow it into what it is today,” says Kees Kamerling. “I look back with great gratitude on all the people I’ve had the privilege to work with and the many great moments we have shared.”
With a clear view of the future and a well-considered decision to take a step back, he is now passing on the leadership. He will remain closely involved with the organization in an advisory role, ensuring that his knowledge, experience, and vision continue to support the company’s development.
The new CEO, Pascal Lammerts van Bueren, brings over 20 years of experience in the logistics sector. In various leadership roles, he has demonstrated his ability to successfully grow organizations, optimize processes, and elevate teams to a higher level. His broad expertise and strategic mindset make him ideally positioned to lead K-tainer into its next phase.
“I have full confidence that Pascal Lammerts van Bueren, together with the strong and dedicated team, will give the company a new and positive direction for the future,” Kees Kamerling adds.
Under its new leadership, K-tainer will continue to build on the strong foundation established over the past decades, while maintaining a clear focus on innovation, further professionalization, and sustainable growth. The combination of experience, renewal, and a close-knit team will be key to continued success.
This transition not only marks the end of an era, but above all the beginning of a promising new chapter.
