Wormser

What Wormser does

Wormser (legal entity Hans Wormser AG) is a family-owned German logistics and transport company headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, founded in 1945 and operating for over 70 years under the heritage name 'Erstes Fränkisches Silo-Transportunternehmen Konrad Wormser.' The company operates a fleet of approximately 200 own vehicles supplemented by around 150 subcontractor vehicles, distributed across seven German branches (Herzogenaurach, Karlstadt, Röthlein, Serba, Bernburg, Hainichen, Ingerkingen) plus a logistics center in Slovakia.

The company's core offering spans three service lines. Transport logistics covers silo bulk transport (food, feed, chemicals, construction materials up to 89 cbm), crane and tarpaulin transport (with up to 35m crane reach for construction sites and B2C delivery), and multimodal/intermodal solutions including scheduled Northern Bavaria–Northern Italy quartz-sand lanes for the glass and ceramics industry. Warehouse logistics includes InHouse on-site operations, container management (KLT/VDA pools with metal-detector inspection at facilities in Germany and Slovakia), distribution logistics, and just-in-time/just-in-sequence procurement and production supply. A commercial vehicle services division runs a DAF-certified contract workshop, TRP All-Makes parts, a modern portal wash system, and HALAL-certified silo/tank interior cleaning (since 2020). The technology stack centers on telematics truck navigation, automated washing hardware, and standard logistics software, with a partner ecosystem spanning DAF Trucks, Toll Collect, and the Logistics Alliance Germany.

Wormser generates revenue through negotiated B2B contracts (no public pricing) across four streams: transaction-fee transport logistics, managed-services warehouse logistics, professional-services vehicle workshop and parts, and transaction-fee vehicle cleaning. The customer base is industrial and segmented across construction materials, food/feed (with IFS, HACCP, GMP B4.1, and HALAL certifications), water utilities (e.g., 6,000 tons/year of filter granulate deliveries), and manufacturing production supply. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with branch-specific teams ([email protected]), supplemented by a corporate website, Facebook, and Instagram presence, plus a dedicated career portal. Multiple certifications (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 50001, IFS, SQAS, EFTCO Food, EFB §50 waste handler since 1988) underpin access to regulated food, chemical, and waste logistics segments.
