Zwatra was started in 1945 by the Kroes family and was initially located at Zwaanshals in the north of Rotterdam. As the company continued to grow, a larger site was sought and found on the Spaanse Polder industrial estate in Rotterdam. After the takeover of Delft-based Den Hoed Transport in 1996, it was decided to establish the entire company in Den Hoed's premises on Schieweg in Delft. That is where Zwatra is currently still located.
