What Kloiber does
Kloiber GmbH is a family-owned Bavarian container logistics provider founded in 1934, headquartered in Petershausen with operational hubs at Munich-Riem and Augsburg GVZ. The company runs an integrated stack: 140 owned tractors, 300 container chassis, and 10 trailer combinations moving roughly 50,000 loading units per year; two ISO-certified depots (approximately 50,000 m2 each, 100,000 TEU combined capacity) processing about 150,000 containers annually and up to 500 orders daily; combined road-rail transport expertise of 20+ years connecting Bavaria to North, West, and South European seaports; and a proprietary digital layer (TMS, CS Drive app, modern depot software with EDI/Codeco/Copan integrations, real-time GPS/telematics, and 100% video-surveilled depots). Five fully electric MAN mega-semi tractors operate between MAN's Nuremberg and Munich plants, with 10 more E-units ordered for April 2026, and the Petershausen site hosts an owned 4.5 MW charging park with 1.3 MW PV.
The company serves shipping lines, logistics and freight-forwarding customers, automotive manufacturers (notably MAN Truck & Bus), industrial/mineral-oil customers, and private/commercial container buyers. Revenue is generated transactionally across container transport fees, depot handling/repair/wash, container sale and rental, public truck fueling (diesel, LNG, autogas, hydrogen, AdBlue) under the BFT Kloiber brand, truck wash programs, truck parking at Augsburg, and subscription-based self-storage through the DeinDepot sub-brand. Pricing is quote-based for transport and depot services and published for retail fuel, wash, and parking. Distribution combines direct B2B enterprise sales with self-serve online booking (Container Avis, DeinDepot, Skidata truck parking).
The company is pursuing a coordinated energy-transition strategy: electric truck deployment with MAN, hydrogen refueling partnerships with Tyczka and Hy2B at Augsburg GVZ, hydrogen truck pilots with hylane, Bosch Mobility, and IVECO, charging-infrastructure co-innovation with UnternehmerTUM, and a customer loyalty card (Kundenkarte) launched mid-2026 to bundle station services. Ownership remains fully within the Kloiber family (Ferdinand Kloiber as managing director; Hans and Susanne Kloiber in operational roles), with no external investors or private equity disclosed.

Kloiber competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- TX Logistik: Trenitalia-owned European rail freight and intermodal operator with significant German operations. Comparable as a competitor in combined rail-road container transport connecting German terminals to seaports, overlapping with Kloiber's intermodal container logistics segment.
- Container Transport Service (CTS): Specialized German container trucking and intermodal service provider. Directly comparable as a competitor offering container road transport, chassis services, and depot operations in Germany, similar in scale and focus to Kloiber's core business.
- Kombiverkehr: German intermodal freight transport operator coordinating combined road-rail container transport across European terminals. Closely comparable to Kloiber's combined transport (kombinierter Verkehr) business, though Kombiverkehr operates a pan-European network rather than a Bavaria-focused asset-heavy model.
- Barttrans: German container logistics specialist with depot operations and container trucking services. Comparable as a regionally focused container depot and transport operator directly competing for shipping line and freight forwarder customers.
Broad incumbents
- DB Cargo: Deutsche Bahn's rail freight subsidiary operating single-wagon and combined transport services across Europe. Comparable as a rail-based combined transport provider that partners with or competes against road hauliers like Kloiber for intermodal freight.
- DACHSER: Major German-headquartered global logistics provider with road transport, warehousing, and intermodal services. Comparable as a broad German logistics competitor with overlapping road freight and contract logistics capabilities, though DACHSER operates at significantly greater scale.
- Rhenus Logistics: Major European logistics group owned by Rethmann, offering intermodal transport, container logistics, contract logistics, and freight forwarding. Overlaps with Kloiber on intermodal container transport and depot operations as part of a much broader service portfolio.
Regional players
- Container-Terminal Altenwerder (CTA): Automated container terminal at the Port of Hamburg operated by HHLA. Comparable as a container handling/depot operator serving shipping line customers, though focused on maritime port operations rather than inland Bavaria depots.
- EUROKAI: German container terminal operator headquartered in Hamburg, primarily handling maritime container terminals in Northern Germany. Comparable as a Germany-focused container logistics infrastructure operator with depot-equivalent operations, though operating in a different geographic gateway than Kloiber's Bavaria focus.
Others
- BayWa: German diversified group with energy, agriculture, and logistics businesses including fuel retail via BayWa Power Liquids — already a co-location partner at GVZ Augsburg. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but operationally intertwined via the Augsburg fuel station partnership.
