Our story

Since 2004, under the leadership of our founder Marcel van der Logt and driven by his passion for trade, we have been active as a reliable global trading partner. Over time, we have grown into the mature and professional organization we are today. Our headquarters in Etten-Leur, with 65 employees, is the basecamps from which we conduct worldwide trade.
We started out with cash register and till rolls, and have now evolved into an indispensable main supplier offering a wide range of over 10,000 items in consumer goods and consumables.
Through years of experience, Vadelo has built the trust to consistently provide the best deals based on price, quality and service. It is through this reputation that we have become an internationally trusted address for importers, distributors, resellers, and wholesalers. Thanks to these qualities, we are able to supply our products to a large number of top European companies.

The best deal is a win-win situation: on the one hand, it means the best deal for the customer, and on the other hand, it means maximizing gross margin for our organization. We strive for gross margin optimization on both the purchasing and selling sides. By doing so, we maximize our results and continuously develop our organization. This, in turn, contributes to additional savings and service for our customers.
