What Loxxess does

LOXXESS AG is a family-owned B2B contract logistics provider founded in 1999 by the Amberger family in Bavaria, Germany, and headquartered in Unterföhring near Munich. The company operates 24 logistics centers with approximately 400,000 m² of warehouse space across Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland, employing around 3,200 people, and reported revenue of more than €325 million for fiscal year 2024. Its offering is organised around three vertical segments: Omnichannel & E-Commerce (fulfilment, returns, multi-channel distribution), Pharma & Healthcare (GDP/GMP-compliant storage, serialisation, de-commissioning, aggregation, kit bundling, repackaging and rebranding), and Dedicated Solutions (custom industrial projects with JIT/JIS production supply and exclusive dedicated facilities). Named customers include dm, Dallmayr, IMTRON, Vodafone (13+ year partnership), ZooRoyal, Whisky.de, Burton, Groundies, CHANNEL21 and Concept2.

The technology stack centres on a proprietary warehouse management system that integrates with customer ERP and shop systems, supplemented by warehouse automation including robotics (e.g., inline robots for chemical logistics) and AI-supported process optimisation and predictive planning. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and operates a dedicated IT subsidiary, LOXXESS IT Services GmbH. The most recent product initiative is PharmaXnet, a pan-European GDP pharmaceutical logistics network announced in 2026.

The business model is managed services revenue from long-term B2B contracts, with quote-based pricing negotiated per customer requirement, no public pricing, and a direct enterprise field-sales motion supplemented by thought-leadership content (LOXXESS Magazin, LinkedIn, BVL membership). Leadership was professionalised in 2023–2024 with the appointment of Ingo Brauckmann (ex-DB Schenker) as the first non-family CEO and Dr. Robert Mauermann (ex-HILTI) into a newly created CFO role, while the Amberger family retains control via the Supervisory Board.

Regional players

• Imperial Logistics: Imperial Logistics is an Africa-focused contract logistics provider with European operations. Comparable as a contract logistics specialist serving enterprise customers across multiple verticals, though with a different primary geographic focus than Loxxess's DACH-centric operations.

Broad incumbents

• Dachser: Dachser is a major European logistics provider combining contract logistics with road freight and air & sea forwarding. Comparable to Loxxess as a family-owned European logistics incumbent with significant warehousing and contract logistics operations, though at substantially larger scale.
• DHL Supply Chain: DHL Supply Chain is the global contract logistics leader serving enterprise customers across all major verticals. Comparable as the dominant scale player in the same market segment Loxxess targets, with much larger footprint and broader service portfolio.
• DB Schenker: DB Schenker is a global logistics incumbent with large contract logistics operations across Europe. Loxxess CEO Ingo Brauckmann previously served as EVP Contract Logistics Europe at DB Schenker, making it a directly comparable reference point for Loxxess's competitive positioning and operational model.
• Geodis: Geodis is a global logistics provider with strong contract logistics and distribution operations in Europe. Comparable to Loxxess as a contract logistics competitor targeting similar enterprise customers in retail, e-commerce, and healthcare verticals.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Kuehne+Nagel is a global logistics leader with significant contract logistics operations alongside its forwarding business. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the same enterprise contract logistics market, particularly in pharma/healthcare and industrial verticals.

Direct peers

• Rhenus Logistics: Rhenus is a European contract logistics and warehousing provider with multi-vertical capabilities (e-commerce, pharma, industrial). Comparable to Loxxess in offering integrated warehousing, value-added services, and dedicated solutions for enterprise customers across the DACH and broader European footprint.
• Arvato (Bertelsmann Supply Chain Solutions): Arvato provides contract logistics and supply chain solutions with strong e-commerce, healthcare, and high-tech vertical expertise. Directly comparable to Loxxess in vertical specialization (e-commerce/omnichannel, pharma/healthcare) and B2B enterprise contract logistics model.
• Hellmann Worldwide Logistics: Hellmann is a German-headquartered family-owned logistics provider offering contract logistics, warehousing, and value-added services. Comparable to Loxxess as a privately-held, German-rooted, multi-vertical contract logistics specialist with international operations.
• FIEGE Logistik: FIEGE is a German family-owned contract logistics provider operating across e-commerce, healthcare, and industrial verticals — directly comparable to Loxxess in customer mix, vertical specialization, and Mittelstand positioning.
