GUTTLER LOGISTICS

What GUTTLER LOGISTICS does

GÜTTLER LOGISTIK GmbH is a privately held German road freight and contract logistics provider headquartered in Hof/Saale, Bavaria, with roots tracing to Heinrich Güttler's haulage business founded in 1957 and the current entity established in 2004. The company operates an owned fleet of approximately 85 vehicles — including Daimler, MAN, and Scania trucks configured as crane vehicles, gigaliners, double-deck mega trailers, and 30+ truck-mounted forklift combinations — supported by an in-house workshop through affiliated O. Steiner Nachf. GmbH & Co. KG. Service offerings span partial and full truckload transport (Teil- und Komplettladung), less-than-truckload general cargo (Stückgut), international transport across Europe, specialized transport for non-standard cargo, and integrated warehousing across 20,000+ m² at five Hof-area locations with pallet racking, block storage, outdoor storage, and value-added services such as labeling, picking, and customs handling. The company also runs a same-day and next-day Expressmobil van delivery service for time-critical shipments.

The technology stack consists of standard fleet telematics, a Warehouse Management System (WMS) linked to pallet-level location tracking, a Transport Management System, and an online freight calculator (Frachtkalkulator) launched in February 2024 that enables instant pricing and direct booking via the company website, with an integrated customer portal for shipment management and tracking. Notable equipment includes Vario Liner Generation 2 trailers with hydraulically adjustable intermediate levels for portal-door loading, ADR hazardous goods capability, and CO2 reduction per tonne transported. The business model is primarily transactional — quote-based freight pricing by cargo type, distance, and service level — complemented by managed-service warehousing fees and handling charges. The go-to-market combines a direct B2B sales team, the self-serve online booking portal, and channel partnerships through logistics networks including LogCoop, ONLINE Systemlogistik, PAKi Logistics (open-pool pallets), and from January 2027 the Cargoline Stückgut cooperation. The customer base spans manufacturing, retail, food and beverage, agriculture, construction, and plastics shippers across Germany and Europe, served from headquarters in Hof with a branch in Moosburg and Czech partner nodes in Prague and Brno. Operational footprint includes 200 employees processing 301,287 shipments and 9,750,464 fleet kilometers annually.
