What Transport Logistic does
Transport Logistic is the world's leading international trade fair for logistics, mobility, IT, and supply chain management, held biennially at Messe München in Munich, Germany. The 2025 edition attracted 2,719 exhibitors from 73 countries and 77,000 visitors from over 130 countries, utilizing 150,000 square meters of exhibition space across 12 halls plus an outdoor area, with 274 experts participating in the conference program. The event is organized by Messe München GmbH, a private German trade fair company, and covers four main thematic areas: Services/Freight Transport/Logistics, IT/Telematics/E-Business/Telecommunications, Equipment for Freight Transport, and Intralogistics/Warehouse Management/Auto-ID/Packaging. Co-located air cargo Europe occupies approximately 15,000 square meters in halls A1 and A2 as the world's largest dedicated air freight event.
The business model centers on physical exhibition revenue, combining exhibitor booth rental and participation fees (the primary revenue stream), visitor ticket sales, and ancillary marketing and professional services. Distribution operates through a direct field sales team for enterprise exhibitor bookings, a self-service online ticket shop for visitors, and a dedicated visitor hotline. Supporting products extend beyond the core event: the Fair Face exhibitor database (operated in partnership with NEUREUTER FAIR MEDIA GmbH), Young Innovators startup zone, Campus Plaza, dedicated visa assistance services, and an integrated MVV public transport ticket for the Munich zones M-6.
The company operates a global cluster of 11 sister exhibitions spanning China, Turkey, Kenya, India, Singapore, the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Germany, creating a year-round international platform for the logistics and air freight industries. Key named enterprise customers include DHL Freight, Etihad Airways Cargo, Bentheimer Eisenbahn AG, VDV (the German public transport association), and DVA Deutsche Verkehrs-Assekuranz-Vermittlungs-GmbH. The company is led by co-CEOs Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer and Stefan Rummel of Messe München GmbH, with Hubert Aiwanger as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
