Fichtl Logistik-Services GmbH

What Fichtl Logistik-Services GmbH does

Fichtl Logistik-Services GmbH is a third-generation, family-owned German contract logistics provider headquartered in Saal an der Donau, Bavaria, founded in 1960 and now operating across three sites — Saal (headquarters and container terminal), Bad Abbach-Lengfeld, and Kelheim port — with over 100 employees and 154,000 sqm of operational area. Its service portfolio covers four integrated lines: warehouse logistics (block, rack, silo and cold/heated storage with value-added services such as labeling, sequencing, packaging, and quality control), container logistics (own depot, CSC inspections, repairs, and intermodal handling with two full-load reach stackers), transport logistics (multi-modal across road, rail, water and air including customs clearance and a 1.7 km private rail connection), and customized contract logistics for procurement, production, distribution, action and spare-parts flows. The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales into named industrial customers in automotive (LEAR, Webasto, BENTELER), food/tobacco (REEMTSMA), electronics (GRUNDIG), chemicals (Hoechst) and energy (RWE), supported by ISO 9001:2015 and AEO-C certifications and a DB Railport partnership. Its underlying technology is a proprietary "Logistics 4.0" warehouse management system providing unit-level traceability, custom customer-system interfaces, real-time data exchange, and paperless operations using 2D barcodes, tablets and wireless scanners; a complementary online "Marktplatz" module handles short-term capacity trading. The business model is a managed-services / contract-logistics mix: revenue is generated from recurring warehousing fees, freight charges, and project-based value-added services, with all pricing quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
