Modul Transport

What Modul Transport does

Modul Transport A/S is a privately held Danish freight forwarder headquartered in Hvidovre with a branch office in Horsens, operating across multimodal transport (air, sea, road) under three core divisions: Modul Air & Sea Freight Division (LCL/FCL and consolidated/direct air freight with global agent coverage spanning North Atlantic, Far East, North America, Mediterranean, Australia/New Zealand, and South America); Modul Road (groupage, part loads, and full loads across Scandinavia, Europe, the UK, Ireland, the Baltics, and Eastern Europe with high-frequency departures); and Modul Logistics (warehousing, sorting, labeling, distribution, triangular trade, and transport analysis). The company is differentiated operationally by an in-house AEO-certified customs department and by network memberships in EGLN, WCA (ID 101341), SystemPlus (21-country European network with daily Copenhagen departures), and the Danish Forwarders Association.

Under the Golden Shipping & Airfreight sub-brand, Modul Transport runs a specialized furniture, art, painting, and antiques logistics operation with bespoke packing capabilities (crates, liftvans, custom pallets), specific expertise in fragile designer pieces such as the PH Artichoke lamp, and auction-house pickup services from Bruun Rasmussen, Palsgaard Kunstauktioner, Bukowskies, Stockholms Auktionsverk, Lauritz.com, and Holstebro Auktioner. The business model is transaction-fee based with quote-driven pricing per shipment plus a 3.80%–5.71% surcharge on PayPal payments; ancillary revenue comes from value-added logistics services and transport insurance advisory. GTM is B2B sales-led, with customers reaching the company via website quote forms, direct email, or phone across Road, Sales, and Air/Sea channels.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Blue Water Shipping: Danish-headquartered global freight forwarder offering air, sea, and road transport plus project logistics. Highly comparable to Modul in geography, multimodal service mix, and B2B customer focus, but with substantially larger scale and global office footprint.
• NTG Nordic Transport Group: Danish transport and logistics group operating road, air, and sea forwarding plus warehousing across Europe and beyond. Direct competitor in the Nordic/European freight forwarding market with overlapping service lines and similar multimodal structure.
• Scan Global Logistics: Danish-founded global freight forwarder offering air, sea, road, and logistics solutions across multiple verticals. Comparable to Modul in core forwarding activities and Danish origin, though significantly larger and more diversified by geography and industry.

Broad incumbents

• DSV A/S: Danish global transport and logistics incumbent operating road, air, sea, and contract logistics at worldwide scale. Direct overlap with Modul's multimodal forwarding offerings but vastly larger, public, and serving enterprise customers across all industries.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Swiss-headquartered global freight forwarder and logistics provider with deep air, sea, road, and contract logistics capabilities. Broadly comparable in service portfolio to Modul but operates at global incumbent scale with extensive owned infrastructure.
• Hellmann Worldwide Logistics: German-headquartered global freight forwarder with strong European road and air/sea forwarding operations. Competes with Modul in European multimodal forwarding, especially for SME and mid-market customers, and offers similar value-added services.
• Rhenus Logistics: European freight forwarding and logistics provider offering road, air, sea, and contract logistics with strong continental presence. Closely comparable in European road and multimodal forwarding, including groupage and part-load services overlapping with Modul Road.
• DACHSER: German-headquartered European logistics company with dense road freight, air, and sea forwarding networks. Direct overlap with Modul's European road groupage and full-load services, though DACHSER is substantially larger and more infrastructure-heavy.

Emerging players

• Cadogan Tate: Specialist art and fine furniture logistics provider offering international shipping, packing, and installation. Most directly comparable to Modul's Golden Shipping sub-brand in niche art/furniture forwarding, particularly for galleries, auction houses, and private collectors.
• Masterpiece International: US-headquartered specialist in art, antique, and luxury furniture logistics with global forwarding capabilities. Comparable to Golden Shipping's niche of packing and forwarding fragile, high-value items, though operating from a different geographic anchor.
