Today, on International Movers’ Day, we want to recognise the people who keep the world moving. 🌍🚛📦

To our movers, drivers, packers, coordinators, warehouse teams and crews across the industry, thank you for the hard work, professionalism and care you bring to every move. Whether it is a family starting a new chapter, an employee relocating abroad, or a business moving across borders, you are the people who make it happen.

This industry has always been built on teamwork, trust and dedication. Early mornings, long days, tight schedules and problem-solving are all part of the job, and our crews continue to deliver with pride and commitment every single day.

Welcoming our new Chief Financial Officer

We are pleased to welcome our new Chief Financial Officer to Schmidt Global Relocations.

Henri van Winkoop joins us with a clear preference for organisations where business remains tangible and close to its people. Schmidt’s practical, hands-on environment and entrepreneurial character were decisive in his choice.

In his role, he will take a broad view of the organisation, strengthening the connection between Finance, HR and IT. Rather than leading from the front, he sees himself as a facilitator. He values the knowledge within his team and places importance on understanding their perspectives, enabling them to perform at their best.

Integrity is central to his approach. He believes in authenticity, open dialogue and creating an environment where people are encouraged to speak with their own voice.

Looking ahead, Henri sees opportunity in further developing our systems to provide clearer insights and support well-founded decision-making across the business.

Beyond the office, he enjoys walking, running, biking, reading and yoga; bringing the same sense of balance and focus to his professional life.

We are delighted to have him on board and look forward to the perspective he brings to Schmidt.

Most battery problems are not operational. They are documentary.

For lithium battery shipments, you may need:

📄 MSDS or SDS
📄 UN38.3 test summary
📄 Dangerous Goods Declaration
📄 Correct HS Code
📄 Battery specification sheet

Regulations are guided by the United Nations Model Regulations for the transport of dangerous goods, but enforcement differs by country and carrier.

Common agent mistakes:
• Assuming household goods exemption applies
• Using outdated MSDS documents
• Missing UN number classification
• Not verifying Wh rating

For air shipments especially, carriers follow strict standards set by the International Air Transport Association.

If documentation is incomplete, cargo can be:
• Stripped from shipment
• Held at terminal
• Returned to origin
• Fined

Battery compliance is not a paperwork exercise. It is risk management.

Moving Abroad With an E-Bike? Read This First ⚡🚲

Planning to ship your e-bike in your international move?

Great choice. But there is one important detail: the battery.

Most e-bike batteries contain lithium. These are classified as hazardous for transport under international safety rules from organizations like the International Air Transport Association.

What does this mean for you?

✔ Some batteries cannot travel by air
✔ Some must be packed separately
✔ Some cannot be shipped at all
✔ Damaged batteries are never accepted

Before your move, we will ask:
• Is the battery removable?
• What is the power rating?
• Do you still have the original documentation?

This is not to complicate your move. It is to protect your shipment and avoid delays at customs or port.

If you are unsure about your e-bike battery, speak to us early. We will guide you through it safely.

🌱 Earth Day 2026: Moving Forward, Responsibly

Relocation has always been about new beginnings. A new home. A new country. A fresh chapter.

On Earth Day, it is also a moment to reflect on how those moves shape the world around us.

At its core, the relocation industry is built on logistics, transport, and materials. Traditionally done in ways that prioritise speed and scale. Today, there is a growing responsibility to balance that with sustainability.

What does a more sustainable move look like?

It starts with small, deliberate choices that add up:

📦 Reusable packing materials instead of single-use cartons
🚛 Smarter route planning to reduce emissions
🌍 Consolidated shipments to maximise container space
♻️ Recycling and responsible disposal at destination
🤝 Partnering with local crews to reduce unnecessary travel

These are not new ideas. They reflect a return to efficiency and resourcefulness that has always been part of good craftsmanship in moving.

Looking ahead

Sustainability in relocations is not about slowing down progress. It is about doing things better. With intention.

As global mobility continues to grow, so does the opportunity to rethink how we move people’s lives across borders. Innovation in materials, digital surveys, and smarter planning will shape the future.

But the foundation remains simple:

Move with care. Not just for what we carry, but for where we are going.

🌿 This Earth Day, we reaffirm our commitment to more responsible relocations.

🎨 Celebrating World Art Day

Art has the power to inspire, connect, and transcend borders. Today, on World Art Day, we celebrate the beauty of creativity and the expertise required to transport it safely across the globe.

As a special throwback, we reflect on one of our remarkable projects. A striking statue, weighing approximately 900 kg, was carefully loaded in Vught, Netherlands, and delivered to Versam, Switzerland. To ensure maximum protection, the artwork was professionally crated and lifted into place using a crane due to its exceptional weight. Schmidt Global Relocations handled both the delivery and customs clearance in Switzerland with precision and care.

This project stands as a testament to our dedication to safeguarding priceless pieces and preserving their artistic legacy. From delicate masterpieces to monumental sculptures, every move is executed with craftsmanship and respect.

| Working Smarter and More Sustainably

At Schmidt Global Relocations, we continue to invest in innovation to enhance our services and reduce our environmental impact. In collaboration with NextUp, we are proud to take another significant step in our digital transformation.

Soon, we will operate entirely within one integrated system, featuring:
✅ Real-time insight into trips and deliveries
✅ Smarter planning through an intuitive planning board
✅ A direct integration with our ERP system

The result? Less manual work, faster response times, and streamlined planning. This enables more efficient routes and a more sustainable way of working. 🌍

Many thanks to NextUp for the excellent collaboration. We look forward to a successful partnership ahead!

Peak Season Is Coming: Tips for Expats Moving to Europe

The European relocation peak season runs from May through September. Families move between school years, companies relocate talent, and logistics networks become significantly busier.

If you are planning an international move to Europe this summer, preparation makes a world of difference.

Here are a few practical tips:

• Start planning early – booking your move 6–8 weeks in advance ensures better scheduling and container availability.
• Prepare documentation – visas, residence permits, and customs paperwork can influence transit times.
• Declutter before packing – shipping volume affects cost and delivery speed.
• Plan your arrival – temporary accommodation and local registrations can take time in many European cities.
• Stay flexible – peak season logistics can require minor adjustments in timing.

Relocating internationally is a major life event, but with good planning it becomes an exciting transition rather than a stressful one.

Driving Change, One Kilometer at a Time 🚛💙

Last week, Jelle from Schmidt Global Relocations drove one of our trucks all the way to Ukraine, delivering donated goods directly to local aid groups.

A journey that leaves a lasting impression.

“This week in Ukraine gave me memories I’ll carry for life. We were able to support people with items they truly need. It’s striking to see that just 2,000 kilometers away, many are living in very difficult conditions. Being able to make people smile again gives a truly meaningful feeling.”

Supporting communities through action is part of who we are. This initiative continues a long-standing commitment within Schmidt, with hands-on involvement at every level, including previous aid deliveries led by our CEO.
