Groupage Service Speditions GmbH

What Groupage Service Speditions GmbH does

Groupage Service Speditions GmbH is a German freight forwarding and logistics company founded in 1990 in Munich, now headquartered in Maisach, Bavaria. The firm operates as a niche specialist with deep expertise in transport corridors to Turkey, the Near and Middle East, GCC countries, and adjacent regions including Ukraine, CIS states, and the Maghreb. Its service portfolio spans truck transport (groupage, part-load, full-load, ADR, temperature-controlled, and special/heavy haul), worldwide air and sea freight, customs clearance, project logistics, and a newly added 850 m² warehousing operation in the Munich area supporting storage, labelling, packaging, and inventory management.

The company runs on a traditional freight forwarding model with an asset-light structure built around a small core team and an extensive partner network across Germany, Europe, Turkey, and Iraq. Technology capabilities are limited to EDI/EDIFACT integration for shipment tracking, IT-supported fleet monitoring, and a proactive Avis notification chain, with no evidence of AI/ML or proprietary digital platforms. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on freight forwarding services priced per shipment based on size, distance, and mode, supplemented by warehousing and customs fees.

Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on the company website, phone, and email channels, plus word-of-mouth from a 35+ year operating history. The customer base is B2B, anchored by enterprise names such as Siemens Healthineers, Siemens Energy, Linde Gas, Turkish Airlines Cargo, and Hoenle, alongside a claimed long tail of 5,000+ customers. The company is privately held, structured as a German GmbH, led by Managing Directors Tobias Scheiterbauer and Emrah Yildizhan, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds.

Broad incumbents

• CEVA Logistics: Global supply-chain operator (now part of CMA CGM) providing freight forwarding, contract logistics and project cargo across the Middle East — competes for the same enterprise road and air freight contracts as Groupage.
