TS Logistics

What TS Logistics does

TS Logistics (legal name TSLogistics International Transport) is a Hamburg, Germany-based freight forwarding and logistics company established in 2020 as a subsidiary of holding company TradeStar GmbH. The company offers an integrated portfolio of international transport and forwarding services, organized into four transport categories — sea transport (FCL), air freight (LCL), land transit, and consultation — and three forwarding categories — sea forwarding, air forwarding, and land forwarding. Supporting services include customs clearance for export and import shipments, ODC/OOG (oversized/out-of-gauge) container shipping, multi-modal transportation, door-to-door transport, and cargo insurance.

The company serves businesses engaged in international trade that require movement of cargo across sea, air, and land modes, with stated capabilities in handling dangerous and complex goods, oversized loads, and time-sensitive shipments. Its offering is built around a professional team with claimed expertise in international laws and customs regulations, supported by what the company describes as "state of the art technology" for supply chain optimization, though no proprietary technology, patents, integrations, or platforms are disclosed. Distribution is entirely sales-led and direct, with customer acquisition primarily through the company website, phone, and email outreach by a small team that includes a Managing Director (Mehrdad Kahram), a Business Manager (Ahmad.K), and sales staff.

TS Logistics generates revenue through transaction-fee-based freight forwarding services, with pricing provided on a custom quote basis depending on cargo type, weight, volume, transport mode, and destination; consultation services are offered at no charge. The company claims international operational reach spanning European hinterland transit and worldwide sea/air destinations, though with a headcount of 11-50 and a single-city (Hamburg) physical footprint, the practical scale of its global operations is not verifiable from the available data. No funding rounds, external investors, named customers, revenue figures, or financial metrics are disclosed.
