About the Company

Röhlig Logistics

Röhlig Logistics provides intercontinental sea and air freight and contract logistics, supported by a network of more than 150 offices in over 35 countries. Its services move goods worldwide and include warehousing, distribution, and value-added logistics, with digital offerings from logineer and cargonerds to support online logistics needs. The company stays privately held and family-run, growing through strategic acquisitions like Procargo in 2011 and AirOcean Ireland in 2024 rather than through public funding. Its goal is to connect global trade by delivering reliable end-to-end logistics solutions while expanding its global footprint and digital capabilities.
