Most Interesting Logistics Companies in Germany 2025
When there's far too many to think about, take a look at this shortlist.
In a recent trip to Germany, I had to consider 50+ logistics integration partners which integrate with AfterShip in order to determine with whom to meet. Given my bandwidth for partnerships is not unlimited, if I had to make a shortlist, who would be on it? Which companies have a great product and service, at the right price, and prioritizes the customer as much as we do? Here’s my list.
The Big Everything Guys
DHL which includes DHL Express, DHL Ecommerce, DHL Supply Chain, DHL Global Forwarding, and DHL Ground / Deutsch Post
GLS - Making a lot of moves and doing it very well, watch GLS carefully.
Big Forwarder
Hellmann Logistics - Founded in 1871 , ‘nuff said.
Fashion and Apparel Logistics
Intex - Distribution and logistics focused on apparel with some great brands under their wing. Agility and specialization is the game here.

Packeta - While the big guys have OOH covered, Packeta is extremely strong in this segment and Germany is a market where parcel lockers are everywhere.
