TRANSDANUBIA Speditionsgesellschaft

What TRANSDANUBIA Speditionsgesellschaft does

TRANSDANUBIA Speditionsgesellschaft m.b.H. is a family-owned Austrian logistics provider founded in 1965, headquartered in Guntramsdorf near Vienna, with additional operational sites in Pasching, Werndorf, Kalsdorf, and Müllendorf. The company operates as a B2B freight forwarder and contract logistics provider delivering temperature-controlled and conventional transport, warehousing, and customs services across Europe through an owned Austrian hub network supplemented by certified partner capacity in nine neighboring countries.

Its service portfolio is organized into three divisions: Transport (frozen, cold, food, temperature-controlled, automotive, hazardous goods, LTL/FTL, GDP-compliant pharmaceutical, and Road-Feeder-Service); Logistics (frozen logistics, cold chain logistics, automotive supply chain, project logistics, groupage consolidation, and customs clearance); and Warehousing (multi-temperature storage, deep-freeze down to -27°C, defrosting, cross-docking, and order picking). Underlying technology is asset-intensive rather than digital: seven deep-freeze warehouses totaling 30,000 temperature-controlled pallet spaces, a 60,000 m² site at Guntramsdorf, satellite-monitored refrigerated capacity of 350+ trailers (via verified partners), Pick-by-Voice picking systems, modern track-and-trace implemented since 2016, and a digital KPI dashboard. No API, SDK, or AI/ML layer is disclosed.

Commercially, the company operates an enterprise sales model with quote-based pricing, dedicated key account managers at each site, and vertical specialization in food/retail, pharmaceutical (post-2025 GDP certification), and automotive (just-in-sequence) customers. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on transport, managed-services fees for warehousing, and professional-services fees for customs and project logistics. The company holds a compliance-heavy stack of certifications (HACCP, IFS Food, IFS Logistics, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001 since 2005, AEO, EU BIO, GDP) and has achieved 100% renewable electricity across sites since 2025. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
