C&G Logistics

What C&G Logistics does

C&G Logistics GmbH is an owner-managed, mid-sized German road transport company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Schwaig bei Nürnberg. The company specializes exclusively in line transport — scheduled road freight between customers' production facilities and depots — using a fleet of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans and Actros trucks equipped with Krone Dryliner XL certified and Knapen K100 sliding-floor trailers. It deliberately restricts scope to road line transport and does not offer adjacent logistics services.

The company serves three enterprise segments: European postal corporations (time-critical parcel and postal transport under a Bundesnetzagentur postal services license), manufacturing clients (Werkverkehre connecting factories and depots), and waste management operators (bidirectional raw material/waste flows under an Entsorgungsfachbetrieb certification). Additional licenses include Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) status for customs simplifications, a BALM cross-border commercial road freight license, and LBA air cargo security transporter authorization — collectively positioning the firm as a compliance-heavy specialist rather than a commodity haulier.

C&G Logistics operates as a B2B sales-led business with direct enterprise contracts on a multi-year cadence, priced per engagement based on route, equipment, and frequency. Its go-to-market relies on a company website (German/English), a LinkedIn page, and WhatsApp for direct communication. There are no disclosed channel partners, no disclosed funding, and no M&A activity; leadership has been stable since founding, with Managing Director Jan Christe in place since 1994, Head of Dispatch Wolfgang Herold since 2005, and Fleet Manager Tobias Kanus since 2010. The company is privately held with no institutional investors and reports no public financials.
