What LDB Group does

LDB Group is a family-owned German logistics services provider headquartered in Bühl, Baden-Württemberg, founded in 1999 by Torsten Fellmoser. The company operates across five integrated business divisions: (1) Lager/Logistik & Services (warehousing with high-bay and block storage); (2) Gefahrgut-Logistik (hazardous materials storage and transport under a BImSch immission control permit, covering 14 hazard classes across four isolated compartments); (3) Contract-Packaging (kitting, display stocking, and assembly); (4) Shop-Logistik (e-commerce fulfillment with WMS-to-shop integration); and (5) Transport-Logistik (road freight via a fleet of 50+ trucks). The company is held under Fellmoser Logistik Holding GmbH (operative from January 1, 2023), with two operating subsidiaries: LDB Logistik GmbH and LDB Transport GmbH. Three Fellmoser children are now active in operations, formalizing a multi-generational succession structure.

The asset base consists of two logistics centers (Bühl at ~18,700 m², opened 1999, and Rastatt, opened January 2019 following an €8M investment), totaling 20,000 pallet spaces, 6,000 m² of block storage, 50+ trucks, and a modern 24/7 warehouse management system with electronic data interchange to customers' e-commerce platforms and ERP systems. The Bühl site was expanded in January 2025, adding 4,000 pallet spaces and doubling hazardous-materials storage capacity. Customers include large European enterprises such as UHU, Würth, Kärcher, Daimler, Michelin, dormakaba, JOST, Aebi Schmidt, Carl Roth, and Rutronik, with UHU as the founding customer since 1999. Effective January 1, 2025, LDB entered a strategic participation with Emons Spedition GmbH & Co. KG, integrating its hazardous-materials expertise into a larger group network.

The business model is B2B services-based, with revenue streams priced on a per-pallet (storage), per-project or retainer (contract packaging), per-load (transport), and per-transaction (e-commerce fulfillment) basis. The hazardous materials and contract packaging divisions command premium pricing given regulatory complexity and specialized infrastructure (BImSch permit, ISO 9001:2015, EU Community License). Go-to-market is direct and consultative, led by managing directors Torsten and Manuela Fellmoser with named account management and a relationship-driven, regional sales motion focused on Baden-Württemberg and broader Germany/EU. Revenue grew from €300,000 in 2000 to approximately €10 million in 2019; current revenue is not publicly disclosed.
