Akkermann Transporte GmbH

What Akkermann Transporte GmbH does

Akkermann Transporte GmbH is a family-owned German logistics company founded in 1936 and headquartered in Moormerland, East Frisia (Ostfriesland). It operates an integrated vehicle logistics platform spanning open and closed passenger and commercial vehicle transport, specialized caravan and motorhome transport up to 3.20m height, secured vehicle storage across more than 150,000 m² with capacity for over 7,000 vehicles, professional vehicle preparation (including inspections, tire changes, refueling, cleaning, foil application, and BEV charging), and an in-house truck workshop with official Kässbohrer and Lohr service partnerships. From 2020 the company added bulk goods transportation for agricultural, feed raw material, and bio-product customers using tipper trucks with up to 56 m³ load volume, supported by GMP+ certification for feed-sector hygiene compliance.

The company is in its third generation of family ownership and management, currently led by managing directors Klaus, Claudia, and Jörg Akkermann alongside shareholder Reinhard Akkermann. It holds ISO 9001 quality management and ISO 14001 environmental management certifications, and employs more than 100 people at the single Moormerland site, which has direct access to the A31 motorway. The business is entirely self-funded with no external investors, debt issuance, or public listing.

Revenue is generated through five transaction-fee streams: per-transport fees for vehicle movements, per-storage-duration fees for vehicle parking, per-task service fees for vehicle preparation, per-shipment fees for bulk goods, and per-work-order fees for workshop services. Go-to-market is direct B2B sales with dedicated account managers per service line, supported by an Instagram presence and the akkis.de website; pricing is fully quote-based with no public disclosure. Customer segments are concentrated in vehicle dealers and manufacturers (primary), caravan and motorhome dealers, agricultural and feed industry operators, and third-party automotive logistics companies. The 2025 installation of 400 kW charging infrastructure reflects ongoing investment in fleet electrification and sustainability.
