Industry expertise logistics

We deliver so that you can deliver

Germany is Europe’s logistics hub. With three million employees and a turn­over of 319 billion euros in 2022, logistics is the third-largest economic sector in Germany. It is key in terms of ensuring stable supplies to companies and consumers. Empty shelves in super­markets and delays in pro­duction due to missing parts are imme­diately notice­able when logistics do not flow smoothly. The Covid pandemic and recent global crises have shown how sus­cep­tible supply chains are to disruption.

The digital trans­formation and sus­tain­ability are also rapidly changing the logistics sector. Digi­talised supply chains, automated driving and the use of arti­ficial intelligence are just a few examples of how logistics are trans­forming. In order to be fit for the future, companies need skilled labour and talent. There is already a huge shortage of personnel in logistics, with thousands of truck and train driver jobs currently vacant. And a desperate search is ongoing for IT specialists who can develop digital plat­forms and solutions for resource-saving and low-emission logistics.

Added to the digital trans­formation are the sustainability demands that policy-makers and society place on businesses. Climate-neutral logistics processes and trans­port are essential to achieving climate targets. There is a lot of potential to reduce CO2 emissions in logistics. However, govern­ment red tape and infra­structural deficiencies, such as di­lap­idated bridges, roads and railways and the doubling of the truck toll, prevent innovation, make business more difficult and impair competitive­ness.
