General Manager – Development & Engineering
Since joining Containermax in 2017, Maarten Van der Vorst has harnessed his 30 years of experience in the transport sector and container-based solutions to spearhead innovation and growth within the company. With a career spanning three decades, Maarten has cultivated a profound understanding of the industry, which he has effectively applied to drive Containermax’s success.
One of his most notable achievements is the development of a patented tipping solution that has revolutionised the industry. This innovative solution has not only enhanced operational efficiency but also set new standards for safety and reliability in container handling.
