Krage Speditionsgesellschaft mbH

What Krage Speditionsgesellschaft mbH does

Krage Speditionsgesellschaft mbH was a privately-held German logistics and freight forwarding (Spedition) company headquartered in Hannover-Langenhagen, Lower Saxony. At the time of its acquisition the firm operated with approximately 19 employees, offering regional transport and logistics services typical of small-to-mid German forwarders — local freight, forwarding, and warehouse/distribution activities serving shippers in the Hannover metropolitan area. The company's product and service detail beyond "general logistics and freight forwarding" is not disclosed in available sources, and there is no indication of proprietary technology, software platform, or differentiated tech stack; operations appear to have been based around a physical terminal/warehouse location in Hannover-Langenhagen.

In July 2019, Noerpel-Gruppe — a family-owned logistics group headquartered in Ulm, with operations across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland — acquired the Krage location in Hannover-Langenhagen and integrated it into the Noerpel logistics network. Noerpel operates a portfolio spanning transport logistics (national and international land, air, and sea freight, parcel), contract logistics (warehousing, spare parts, in-house, distribution, returns, heavy goods), e-fulfillment (under the joint "Noerpel flow" brand with Wehner Logistics), and personnel services (L&S). Following the acquisition, Krage ceased to operate as a standalone entity and its operations, customers, and location were absorbed into Noerpel-Gruppe; standalone revenue, pricing, and financial details for Krage are not publicly disclosed.
