Five and a half decades ago, on October 1, 1970, our story began. Cor Schenk started his sole proprietorship in nautical trading in a former chicken coop in Hernen. The founder's boundless energy led to the hiring of his first employee in 1976. Due to difficult times in the yacht building industry, the company changed course and launched SCHENK Containers en Constructiewerken. Due to exponential growth, the company moved to Wijchen in 1983 and to its current premises in Nijmegen in 1991. From that point on, the focus was on waste collection and transport. The introduction of the Self-Compacting Container (ZPC) in 1994 and the Collection Press Container (IPC) in 1997 established our reputation as a reliable and high-quality innovation partner. In 2008, we introduced the smart SCHENK City Trailer (SCT) for city centers. The SCHENK Group's 55th anniversary is a series of solutions: from the founding of SCHENK Containerverhuur in 1998 to the transfer to the second generation, Roel Schenk and Martine Schraven-Schenk, in 2014 and 2020.
