Röhlig Logistics

Global intercontinental freight and contract logistics

Overview

Röhlig Logistics moves goods worldwide by sea and air and manages contract logistics, including warehousing and distribution. It operates through a network of over 150 offices in more than 35 countries to provide end-to-end freight forwarding and value-added services, including digital offerings like logineer and cargonerds. Unlike many peers, it remains privately owned by the Herwig family and has grown through steady acquisitions such as Procargo (2011) and AirOcean Ireland (2024). Its goal is to connect global trade with reliable logistics by combining traditional service with digital capabilities and ongoing global expansion.
