LOGIPACK

What LOGIPACK does

LOGIPACK (LOGIPACK Service GmbH and LOGIPACK Pool GmbH), headquartered in Bremen, Germany, is a privately held supply-chain specialist that operates a neutral reusable loading equipment pool for the beverage industry. Founded in 2006, the company provides reusable trays and crates (the LOGICrate and Tray product families), packaging services (multipacks, displays, mixdisplays), and empty container management (deep sorting, clearing, compaction) to beverage manufacturers, food retailers, and beverage wholesalers in Germany and Austria.

The technology foundation is a physical-and-logistics platform rather than a software platform: standardized, reusable plastic trays and crates owned by LOGIPACK circulate across competing brands and retailers via the LOGIPACK System. The crates support both 24x0.33l and 20x0.5l formats and are compatible with multiple multipack variants (4er/6er/8er/10er/12er) and wrap formats (Open Basket/closed Basket, Wrap Around, Top-Clip). The trays range from display trays (Carrier Tray, AllCare Tray, Wine & Spirits Carrier Tray, Can Tray) to multi-purpose trays. The TSM time-slot booking portal (tsm.logipack.com) handles delivery scheduling, and proprietary deep-sorting, clearing, and compaction services manage the returnable side of the cycle. No public or partner-facing API is offered.

LOGIPACK generates revenue through usage-based fees on the loading equipment pool plus professional services for empty container management and packaging. The go-to-market is a direct B2B sales-led motion targeting enterprise beverage manufacturers (breweries such as Krombacher, Bitburger, Paulaner, Carlsberg Deutschland, Radeberger, AB InBev Deutschland, Veltins, Maisel, Karlsberg, Störtebeker), major food retailers (EDEKA, REWE, Kaufland, Globus, Metro), and the beverage specialty trade (Getränkefachgroßhandel). Distribution is complemented by industry thought-leadership channels (LOGICircle expert forum, trade shows INTERNORGA, drinktec, BrauBeviale, and trade publications). The customer base encompasses more than 50 breweries plus the leading German food retail chains.

Core offering

LOGIPACK operates a neutral, multi-brand loading equipment pool for the beverage industry, supplying reusable trays and crates (LOGICrate) plus empty container management (deep sorting, clearing, compaction), system logistics, and packaging services (multipacks, displays) to breweries, beverage manufacturers, food retailers, and beverage wholesalers in Germany and Austria.

Product overview

LOGIPACK operates as a reusable packaging system provider for the beverage industry, offering a platform of modular products and services.

These physical components are supported by Leergut-Management services for deep sorting, clearing, and compaction, along with Verpackung (packaging) services covering multipacks, action placements, mixdisplays, and individual displays. The company also organizes LOGICircle expert roundtables for industry discussion. All offerings are provided as a unified system under the LOGIPACK brand.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Krones AG: German-headquartered global leader in beverage production and packaging machinery/line solutions. Broader in scope than LOGIPACK but operates in the same German brewing and beverage ecosystem and frequently interacts with the same brewers that LOGIPACK pools for.
• SSI SCHÄFER: Major intralogistics provider offering warehousing, conveying, and reusable-container solutions. Comparable on the warehousing/storage and reusable-container dimensions of LOGIPACK's business, though far larger and broader in scope.
• CHEP (Brambles): Global leader in pallet and container pooling under Brambles. Operates a much broader pooling platform than LOGIPACK but shares the same third-party shared-asset, usage-fee economics across supply chains — the archetypal pooling benchmark.

Direct peers

• Euro Pool Group: Largest European operator of returnable packaging pooling, with deep presence across fresh produce and beverages in DACH. Most directly comparable to LOGIPACK as a third-party, multi-brand, reusable-load-carrier pool serving grocery retailers and FMCG/beverage producers.
• Bekuplast: German manufacturer and operator of returnable plastic containers with significant beverage-industry exposure. Competes with LOGIPACK in the same DACH beverage load-carrier and reusable-packaging market with overlapping crate/tray products.
• Schoeller Allibert: European returnable transit packaging specialist offering pooled and owned plastic crates, trays, and bulk containers. Direct peer to LOGIPACK in reusable transport packaging serving beverage, food, and retail customers.
• IFCO Systems: Global pooler of reusable plastic containers (RPCs) for fresh grocery and adjacent categories. Comparable to LOGIPACK on the asset-pooling, usage-fee, multi-stakeholder reuse model, though IFCO's footprint and category breadth are larger.

Regional players

• LPR (La Palette Rouge): European pallet-pooling provider (part of Euro Pool Group) operating a shared wooden pallet network across Europe. Comparable to LOGIPACK on third-party shared-asset pooling economics; differs in category (pallets vs. beverage crates/trays) and footprint.
• RPP Group (Returnable Packaging Products): North American provider of reusable plastic packaging and pooling services. Comparable business model — pooled, multi-trip returnable packaging for consumer goods supply chains — but operates primarily in North America rather than DACH.

Emerging players

• Walther Faltsysteme: German manufacturer of foldable, reusable plastic containers and pallets used in beverage and industrial supply chains. Adjacent peer in the reusable-load-carrier category serving similar DACH customers as LOGIPACK.
