What Lebert does

Lebert operates as Lebert-Noerpel GmbH & Co. KG, a logistics and freight forwarding subsidiary within the German family-owned Noerpel-Gruppe, following a strategic partnership announced in September 2018. The combined entity serves B2B customers across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) through an integrated network of spatially linked freight forwarding and logistics terminals. Its service portfolio is organized around four pillars: Transportlogistik (national and international road freight, air and sea freight, and parcel logistics), Kontraktlogistik (warehousing, spare parts logistics, production supply, in-house logistics, distribution, returns management, and heavy cargo), E-Fulfillment (e-commerce platform integration, value-added services, social commerce including TikTok Shop integration, and pick-pack-ship), and Personaldienstleistung (staffing and recruitment outsourcing via the L&S subsidiary, celebrating 20 years in 2026). Online customer-facing services include shipment tracking, anonymous track & trace, shipment registration, daily pricing, and preferred delivery date booking via the Noerpel portal.

The group's revenue model is a B2B services model based on contracted transport, warehousing, contract logistics, and staffing engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed and no revenue figures are available in the source material. The company has grown substantially through acquisitions — Logistik2000 AG (Switzerland, 2021), ERKA Spedition (Stuttgart, 2023), WEHNER Logistics (2023), Gras-Gruppe (Ötigheim, 2024), Spedition Graßl (2024), and a minority stake in Johann Weiss (2024) — and has expanded its own fleet capability via a Fuhrparkgesellschaft in Lithuania (2025). It serves customers across the full supply chain from procurement through production to distribution, with the e-fulfillment pillar extending into social commerce channels such as TikTok Shop. Capacity is being expanded through new terminals (Elsdorf 2024, Hilden 2026) and decarbonization capex including the first electric truck at Ulm in 2024.

Lebert/Noerpel is privately held, family-owned since the founding of Noerpel-Gruppe in 1881, and does not trade on any public exchange. Operational scale is 1,001–5,000 employees across the DACH network, with branch-level management (e.g., Niederlassungsleiter Michael Braun and Christian Braun at Kempten) overseeing regional quality performance, evidenced by repeated IDS Quality Ranking top placements. The company is actively operating, with no disruption signals in the available data.

Lebert competitors and assessment

Company assessment

Direct peers

trans-o-flex: German specialist in time-sensitive and temperature-controlled transport and logistics, including pharmaceutical and high-value goods. Comparable as a Germany-headquartered operator offering specialized freight forwarding alongside general cargo.
DACHSER: Family-owned German logistics company offering road freight, contract logistics, and warehousing across Europe. Closely comparable in ownership structure, service mix, and mid-market European positioning to Lebert-Noerpel / Noerpel-Gruppe.
Emons Spedition: Mid-sized German family-owned logistics and forwarding company with national and European road freight plus contract logistics. Comparable in scale, ownership structure, and DACH service mix.
Rhenus Logistics: German family-owned logistics group with transport, contract logistics, and port operations across Europe. Comparable as a privately held, broad-service German forwarder competing for similar DACH B2B accounts.
Hellmann Worldwide Logistics: German-headquartered global logistics provider with road, air, and sea freight plus contract logistics. Directly comparable in family-owned origins, German roots, and multimodal transport-plus-warehousing service portfolio.

Broad incumbents

DSV: Danish-headquartered global freight forwarder with significant European road and contract logistics operations. Comparable on forwarding, road, and contract logistics, but operates globally and is publicly listed.
DB Schenker: One of Europe's largest freight forwarders and contract logistics providers, with a global network. Overlaps heavily on road freight, contract logistics, and e-fulfillment, but operates at materially greater scale.
Kühne+Nagel: Global freight forwarder with strong road, contract logistics, and integrated logistics offerings in Europe. Comparable service lines but at much greater scale and with public financial transparency.

Regional players

GLS (General Logistics Systems): European parcel and logistics provider owned by Royal Mail, focused on B2C and B2B parcel delivery across Europe. Comparable parcel-logistics and tracking capability to Noerpel's Paketlogistik offering, but with a parcel-centric rather than general-freight model.

Emerging players

Hermes Einrichtungs Service (HES): Specialist in two-person, white-glove delivery and assembly of bulky goods and furniture across Europe. Comparable to Noerpel's heavy/bulky and contract logistics capability, but focused specifically on the bulky/home delivery niche.
