About us
Griffioen transport is a more then 90 years old family business.
In 1929 founder Henk Griffioen bought the courier service ‘Blijleven’ from his employer in the villages Bodegraven and de Meije in the Netherlands. He soon changed the name to ‘Bode Griffioen v/h Blijleven’. During the first years the company was based on Meije number 10 in Bodegraven. The courier service at first used a horse and carriage but soon this was exchanged by a truck.
At that time the work consisted mainly of picking up orders for delivery to several suppliers and wholesalers in the nearby town of Gouda. In the afternoon the ordered goods at these companies would be picked-up to be delivered the same day in Bodegraven. The merchandise for the towns of de Meije and Zegveld would be delivered the next day, together with the loaded merchandise of ‘Van Gend en Loos’ of which Bode Griffioen v/h Blijleven was the fixed transporter in de Meije and Zegveld.
Our services
It is very important that the removal of your piano or pianola is organised with the utmost care. This is just as important as the tuning and maintenance of your instrument.
We can deliver a piano or grand piano anywhere in the world. We arrange and execute all transportation and (house) moves in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Germany.
Pianos, grand pianos and organs are stored properly in our temperature controlled storage. If you are renovating or going abroad for an indefinite period of time, you can store your instrument with us.
We can also offer our services when your piano or grand piano has to be moved from or to a higher floor.
For already 90 years we move and transport all your valuable belongings with great care. Because of our experience you are insured that your piano is in great hands.
We have expanded largely the last years, but our personal touch will always remain.

A pleasant and skilled transporter, in which I have now moved my piano twice.
Because of the use of a crane on the moving van, they were able to move the piano easily and quickly from a complicated angle in my former apartment. Temporary storage of the piano due to renovations in my new home was no problem.
Friendly staff. In other words, a must.

Today Griffioen Transport moved 6 Pianos and an Organ from a Village House in Zwanenburg to the new location. Transport has been carried out very professionally and all instruments are in their new place without damage so that they can be played again. Thank you on behalf of Stichting Zwanenburg- Halfweg and De Olm.

Sara Zamboni
Excellent. Attention to the customers, professionalism with the services and communication, incredibly fast! I have requested an international transport and they have planned it quickly and a week later the grand piano was picked up and returned. Top!
Brian Smith Walters
Very professional and communicative. The only drawback is that the price is slightly higher than some others, but with this kind of thing, you get what you pay for. Great service of our piano from the Netherlands to London.
Valentine Prete
Really professional and react quickly to emails. My piano was picked up in France few days after my email and delivered in Holland 2 days after. All of that for the best price.
