Gilbert de Rese, who founded the Reste company company in 1965, died on August 15, 2025 at the age of 91. He started his activities in the transport of animals and animal feed, but soon expanded to other types of transport by responding to the development of the port of Zeebrugge. He was also at the basis of the dealer Derma Trucks, who still represents Volvo Trucks in Bruges. Gilbert de Rese had transferred the family business to his son Marnix de Rese in 1992, but remained a familiar face in the company. “He was our Father Familias, he was liked by everyone and we will miss him very much,” said the company on LinkedIn. TransportMedia agrees with the trustees to Gilbert de Rese and expresses his condolences to the De Rese family and the staff of its companies.
