The takeover of various shipping agencies with connections to the seaports on the North Sea and Baltic Sea, the founding of the Neuss branch and the beginnings as a trade fair forwarding agent characterised this period.

1930 - 1984

The former forwarding and shipping company developed into a universal company for the shipping industry and organised transportation by ship, rail, lorry or plane.

Further branch foundations and the expansion of forwarding services to nationwide and European logistics networks in a partner network characterise the development to this day.

2016 - heute
