Mosolf

What Mosolf does

Mosolf is a family-owned European automotive logistics company founded in 1955 by Horst Mosolf, headquartered in Kirchheim/Teck, Germany. The company operates across the full vehicle lifecycle value chain, providing transport logistics (road, rail, and water), site/compound logistics, releasing services, vehicle preparation (washing, tire management, wrapping, painting, smart repair, bodywork, sales imaging), and retail/dealership solutions. It serves automotive OEMs, fleet operators, and authorized dealerships across Germany, Belgium, France, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and other European markets, handling approximately 3 million vehicles annually through 51 strategically located sites.

The company's technology stack centers on its proprietary digital ecosystem: the MYOUR customer platform (vehicle management, digital waybills, real-time KPI dashboards), the MARS modular SaaS tool for transport market networking (GPS data, status messages, role-based access), and the co-developed NAMOA system for digital ordering and invoicing in retail solutions. A digital waybill compliant with the eCMR convention and German HGB §408 Abs. 3 was launched in July 2023 and is offered free of charge to customers. Mosolf holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and AEO F certifications.

Revenue is generated primarily through B2B professional services contracts with enterprise automotive customers, priced per service or via service packages across transport, technical preparation, and retail solutions. The company sells directly through a dedicated enterprise key account management organization, with services delivered through its owned infrastructure (vehicle transporters, roll-on/roll-off barges, special vehicle transporters, terminal facilities including the new 80,000 m² Port of Oostende terminal). Operations are organized across 16+ wholly-owned subsidiaries covering port logistics, special vehicles, regional markets, and adjacent services such as armored vehicle conversion through STOOF International.
