SUSTAINABILITY

We are a modern, quality-oriented provider of logistics services with a long-established tradition and, as such, bear responsibility not only for our employees and our customers’ products, but also for the environment. Today, sustainable actions are an essential element of our corporate philosophy.

For us, sustainability means the attachment of equal importance to social, ecological and economic interests.
