Georgi Transport

What Georgi Transport does

GEORGI Transporte is a family-owned German Road Feeder Service (RFS) specialist, founded in 1964 in Burbach and led since 1994 by Jürgen Georgi. It operates as the largest German carrier in air-cargo road feeder services, transporting unit load devices (ULDs) and conventional air freight between major European airports on scheduled lanes with a 400+ vehicle fleet of specialized mega-trailer and rollerbed trucks. The group runs around 1,300 employees across more than ten locations in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Poland and Switzerland, anchored at Frankfurt (with 20,000 m² of captive logistics space and 1,400 m² of offices secured in 2019), Leipzig (15,000 m² handling), and Amsterdam Schiphol.

Beyond scheduled line-haul trucking, GEORGI derives revenue from a stack of regulated specialty transport services: GDP-certified pharmaceutical and temperature-controlled transport (–25°C to +25°C), TAPA TSR Level 1 high-value cargo with armed and tracked security, ADR and EX III dangerous goods including explosives under the German Explosives Act, oversized cargo up to 550 cm, and 40+ years of specialized aircraft engine transport for Lufthansa Technik. Air cargo handling at Frankfurt and Leipzig is operated through the GEORGI Handling subsidiary (ULD build-up/break-down, customs, security screening), with express handled via GEORGI Fast Solution and LTL network freight under CONNEX Aircargo.

The company sells almost exclusively B2B on a transaction-fee basis, with individually quoted per-transport pricing for trucking and published handling tariffs at FRA/LEJ. Customers are airlines (Lufthansa Cargo, SWISS Cargo, Lufthansa Technik), freight forwarders, pharmaceutical manufacturers routed through DoKaSch Temperature Solutions, and aerospace MROs. Operational technology is built on a long-standing Astrata telematics partnership (DriverLinc+ tablets in 300 vehicles) with GPS fleet monitoring, real-time temperature and security alarms, and a customer-facing Track & Trace portal; there is no evidence of significant in-house AI/ML capability. The family retains full ownership across wholly-owned operating subsidiaries (GEORGI Handling, GEORGI Fast Solution, GEORGI Transporte B.V., TCM Truck Center Mörfelden, Polish entity, and acquired brands Convent and Weigl/WACS), with no external private equity or public shareholders.
