MÜLLER | DIE LILA LOGISTIK is a logistics provider that offers contract logistics across the supply chain, covering procurement logistics, production logistics, and distribution logistics. It operates nationally and internationally with about 2,300 employees at more than 20 locations in Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic.
