Euro Freight

What Euro Freight does

Euro Freight GmbH is a German multimodal freight forwarding and contract logistics provider headquartered in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, North Rhine-Westphalia, founded in 2019 and operating as part of the Happe-Gruppe conglomerate. The company provides road, rail, intermodal container, sea, and air freight forwarding alongside dedicated warehousing, serving industrial customers in construction/DIY, e-commerce, automotive, packaging, paper, and general B2B industrial verticals. Its commercial offering is anchored by a 30-vehicle fleet (23 company-owned plus 7 dedicated for OSL partners), a flagship 20,000 m² warehouse at headquarters, and approximately 5,000+ m² of additional warehousing across five further locations.

The company's physical infrastructure includes a proprietary rail siding at Rheda-Wiedenbrück handling 3-4 trains per week of overseas container traffic, with sea and air freight capability extended through a Hamburg-based sister company within the Happe-Gruppe. Euro Freight holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, HACCP, and DIN EN 16258 certifications, qualifying it for food-grade and quality-sensitive industrial accounts. Day-to-day operations are led by Managing Directors Dirk Strunz and Lars Fuhrmeister.

The business model combines asset-based logistics revenue (trucking, warehousing, intermodal handling) with asset-light forwarding margin earned through the ONLINE Systemlogistik (OSL) partnership/shareholding, which the company joined in 2021. OSL provides access to 120+ European logistics partners across 19 countries, enabling pan-European forwarding services without proportionate direct asset investment in each market. Revenue is generated through freight forwarding fees, warehousing contracts, and value-added logistics services; the company is privately held, not externally funded, and does not disclose financial figures.
