G. Englmayer Spedition GmbH

What G. Englmayer Spedition GmbH does

G. Englmayer Spedition GmbH is a privately held, family-owned freight forwarding and logistics company headquartered in Wels, Austria, founded in 1858 and controlled by the Wiesinger family since 1907. The company operates 22+ wholly-owned branch offices across Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, and Serbia, supported by a partner network spanning 100+ countries for sea and air freight.

The service portfolio is organized around three pillars: CARGO (national and international less-than-truckload freight under Cargo Classic and Cargo Premium tiers, with guaranteed time slots), EXPRESS (EXPRESS DAY, EXPRESS NIGHT, and EXPRESS FLEX time-critical delivery services across nine European countries), and LOGISTICS (warehousing with FIFO and pick-and-pack, sea and air freight, fashion logistics, exhibition logistics, and cash/ATM delivery). Operations are backed by a proprietary digital stack comprising LBASE Online (shipment tracking portal), ShippingNET (shipment capture and status), and Cargoboard Austria (a 24/7 self-service booking platform partially owned by Englmayer). Adjacent entities include G. Englmayer Zoll und Consulting (customs consulting in Austria and Switzerland), Zollakademie Austria, the joint-venture Zollakademie Germany, and ECFT Certifications GmbH, which together extend the group into customs training and personnel certification.

Revenue is generated through transaction fees on freight and logistics services, with quote-based pricing that varies by destination, weight, volume, and service tier. The go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise sales through owned branches for B2B accounts with complex needs, complemented by a self-serve SMB channel via the Cargoboard platform for pallet, partial-load, and full-load shipments. Customer segments span B2B companies requiring freight forwarding and customs clearance, SMBs shipping pallets, and specialized verticals such as fashion, exhibition, and furniture logistics. The group employs approximately 107 people and maintains ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 21001, ISO 29990, and AEO-F certifications across multiple legal entities.
