What FIEGE does

FIEGE is a fifth-generation, family-owned contract logistics provider founded in 1873 in Greven, Germany, operating 135-136 logistics sites across 15 countries with more than 23,500 employees. The company delivers integrated logistics solutions — warehousing, eCommerce fulfillment, transport, returns management, parcel shipment, customs clearance, and air freight — organized around eight vertical sectors: Consumer Products, Fashion & Lifestyle, Healthcare (Hospital, MedTech, Pharma), FMCG (Beauty, Coffee, Food & Supplements, Wine & Spirits), Industrial (Automotive, Aviation, Construction, Energy Equipment), Tires, Retail, and Press & Media. Its underlying technology stack centers on SAP Warehouse Management with proprietary layers for Order Management, Marketplace Management, Carrier Claims Management, Financial Services, and Customer Service, complemented by automation hardware such as AutoStore, pocket sorters, and packaging machines (e.g., the 132,800 m² Apfelstädt fulfillment center).

The business operates on a B2B contract logistics model with long-term, individually negotiated enterprise engagements. Revenue is generated through recurring warehousing and fulfillment fees, transport services, logistics real estate development (via FIEGE Real Estate), and a ventures platform comprising XPRESS (company building for pre-seed LogTech startups), F-LOG Ventures (early-stage LogTech VC), and Strategic Venture Investments. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales via sector-specific teams (with named contacts such as Head of Sales Tobias Hebling), supported by digital presence, customer case studies, and industry events. Notable enterprise customers span Zalando, ABOUT YOU, MANN+HUMMEL, Vaillant, Falken, JDE Peet's, Suntory Global Spirits, Katjes, SportScheck, Landi, and Hettich. FIEGE has executed two disclosed acquisitions (WFL in 2022 for Asia expansion and heyconnect in 2022), deployed battery-electric truck fleets with charging infrastructure (Oftringen 2026), and invested $16.5M in AI memory platform Interloom in 2026.

The partnership helps FIEGE improve operational efficiency and decision-making by bridging operational knowledge gaps. Interloom raised $16.5 million in seed funding in March 2026, with FIEGE cited as an early customer alongside Zurich Insurance, JLL, and others. The platform reportedly helps reduce the gap between documented and actual work processes.
