Our story
Once upon a time...
WebShip originally was part of a family business (Pegatex NV) with years of experience in wholesale and warehouse management. Starting in 1986 as a wholesaler in bath fabrics, online marketing activities were added in 2011 under the leadership of the second generation.
In 2013, the textiles activities were stopped and the focus was shifted to storage and order picking for third parties. Webship was born! Since early 2014 where offering our fulfilment services to several (inter)national webshops.
Yuri Hellyn, CEO of WebShip, has chosen to resolutely pursue an online strategy. In addition to developing websites and webstores, as well as providing logistics services for various webshops, the company also has a number of its own webshops in its portfolio. “Those own webshops are an important learning experience for our company,” says Yuri Hellyn, “with the knowledge we gain there, we can support our clients better and better in their online projects every day.” The activities at WebShip focus on both starters and SMEs active in a niche market. We try to grow with the demands of our customers. Flexibility and dynamism are thus two central concepts within our company.
