Kunzendorf Spedition

What Kunzendorf Spedition does

Kunzendorf Spedition GmbH is a privately held, family-owned German logistics company founded in 1950 in Berlin-Neukölln by Günter Kunzendorf and Herbert R. Gesch (HRB 11496, AG Charlottenburg). The company provides freight transport, warehousing, contract logistics, and e-commerce fulfillment services across Germany, Europe, and worldwide via air and sea freight partnerships. It operates four locations — Berlin (headquarters, City-Terminal with 3,000 m²), Rangsdorf (4,200 m² e-commerce hub near BER airport, opened 2021), Ludwigsburg (2,900 m², Greater Stuttgart region), and Hannover — supported by approximately 200 employees, 180+ vehicles, and 16,000 m² of total logistics space. Service lines include LTL/FTL Stückguttransporte, Teil- und Komplettladungen, express and courier transport, B2C fulfillment, sea and air freight, logistics real estate, outsourcing, and value-added services (packaging, assembly, returns). The business also provides in-house software development through the IT-Lab established in 2017.

The company's technology backbone is the proprietary Kunzendorf Neo platform, developed internally as a modular system covering billing, disposition, Track & Trace, routing, procurement, service, and customer connectivity. The platform is exposed to customers via a self-serve portal (diefixenkunzendorfer.de) and supports API-based integrations built by the IT-Lab. Strategic network memberships — founding shareholder of 24plus (since 1996), plus Simcargo and VTL — provide pan-European LTL coverage that extends the company's reach beyond its owned fleet.

The revenue model is primarily transaction-fee based freight transportation (LTL, FTL, express, B2C), supplemented by managed-services warehouse and contract logistics and professional-services software development through the IT-Lab. Go-to-market is sales-led through four regional German offices, supported by online freight inquiry forms and the customer portal. Customers are predominantly cross-industry Mittelstand enterprises (production, trade, service) in the Berlin/Brandenburg and Baden-Württemberg industrial regions, alongside online retailers served from Rangsdorf. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
