Fritz Mayer Internationale Spedition und Transport

What Fritz Mayer Internationale Spedition und Transport does

Fritz Mayer Internationale Spedition und Transport GmbH is an Austrian family-owned freight forwarding and logistics company headquartered in Zeltweg, Styria. Founded in 1921 as a horse-drawn carriage operation, the company has grown into a mid-sized European logistics provider operating a fleet of 150+ trucks and 200+ trailers, executing more than 40,000 shipments and transporting approximately 800,000 tons of goods annually across Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia, and France. Its service portfolio spans partial and full truckload transport, 24-hour express delivery, oversized/special transport (up to 3.50m width and 25m length), intermodal road-rail combined transport, and a 57,000 m² warehouse/logistics centre across two locations in Zeltweg.

The company's technology stack includes a proprietary online shipment tracking system (Mayer Positions- und Communication System, deployed since 1984), GPS satellite-based real-time fleet monitoring, modern warehouse management software for inventory control, and a self-service timeslot booking portal (time.mayer.at). Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based freight and warehousing fees, supplemented by professional services from its IVECO-authorised in-house truck workshop, usage-based truck and trailer rentals (EURO 6 fleet), and unit-priced sales of used fleet vehicles. Customers are industrial and commercial enterprises requiring European road freight, with specialisation in wood industry, heavy machinery, food-grade, silo, and tank transport; go-to-market combines direct sales via logistics advisors, online inquiry forms, and a national/international partner network. The business is owned and managed by the Mayer family (Fritz and Peter Mayer as co-Managing Directors since 2000), with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications supporting quality and environmental positioning.
