How our network is structured
European Logistics Network
The European Logistics Network connects industrial and consumer goods markets across Europe. Standardised processes and a dense network provide the basis for reliable procurement and distribution logistics.
Food Logistics Network
The Food Logistics Network is tailored to the requirements of the food industry. Specialised processes and network structures support the movement of food and functional food products across Europe.
Air & Sea Logistics Network
The Air & Sea Logistics Network connects international procurement and sales markets through air and sea freight. It provides the basis for global flows of goods and complements the European transport networks with worldwide connections.
Warehouse Network
The Warehouse Network complements transport solutions with customer-focused warehousing solutions and Value Added Services. This enables warehouse and transport processes to be linked throughout the supply chain.
IT-Network
The IT Network connects the various network components and supports the seamless flow of information throughout the entire supply chain. It provides transparency across transport, warehousing and network processes and forms the digital foundation for a globally coordinated network with consistent processes and standards.
The components of our network
We combine a local presence with globally coordinated network structures. Personal contacts and clear responsibilities keep us close to our customers. Globally coordinated processes support consistent service quality across all locations.
Strategically located hubs and international gateways consolidate flows of goods and connect regions. In Air & Sea Logistics, global air and sea freight gateways provide efficient links between key economic regions and support the management of international supply chains.
Through the Interlocking principle, we connect our European road transport network with air and sea freight solutions. This allows flows of goods to be managed across different modes of transport and international transport chains to be linked.
Information logistics connects data from transport and warehouse processes. Standardised IT systems and coordinated information flows create transparency throughout the supply chain and support the management of logistics processes.
In selected areas, we complement our own branches and subsidiaries with partner structures. This creates additional connections that extend the international reach of our network.
