What Stute Logistics does

Stute Logistics is a German logistics and transportation services provider headquartered in Bremen, Germany, founded in 1853. The company employs 1,001-5,000 people and delivers production logistics, distribution, spare parts logistics, and land transport services, with a clear focus on industrial customers requiring line-side and time-sensitive supply chain execution. The firm's website (stute.de) and 170+ year operating history place it within the German Mittelstand tradition of specialized industrial logistics.

The company operates as part of the Kuehne+Nagel International AG group, a publicly traded (SIX Swiss Exchange) global freight forwarding and supply chain management organization headquartered in Switzerland. Through the Kuehne+Nagel network, Stute's service portfolio is connected to a broader offering spanning sea freight, air freight, road transport, warehousing and distribution, customs clearance, cargo insurance, e-commerce logistics, project logistics, sustainable logistics, 4PL integrated logistics, order management, and cold chain logistics. The myKN digital platform provides instant quoting across transport modes, shipment tracking, and connectivity into customer systems, while a Road Visibility Solution delivers real-time transportation visibility for road freight.

The business model is a transaction-fee freight forwarding and contract logistics model with enterprise field sales as the primary go-to-market motion, supplemented by the self-serve myKN platform for mid-market customers and a road carrier partner program for capacity expansion. Customer segmentation is vertical-driven, with dedicated industry solutions across aerospace, automotive and new mobility, consumer, healthcare, high-tech and semiconductors, industrial, and perishables. The combined Kuehne+Nagel customer base totals approximately 400,000 worldwide customers served across nearly 100 countries and 1,300 sites.
