TRANSPORT & SERVICE LENICKER

What TRANSPORT & SERVICE LENICKER does

Lenicker GmbH Transport, Service & Vermietung is a family-owned German logistics company headquartered in Hürth (Cologne economic area) that operates an integrated road-rail logistics platform across Germany and the Benelux. The company was founded in 2004 and employs 70+ staff across three operational locations: a 7,000 sqm headquarters in Hürth, a workshop at Köln-Eifeltor situated directly on the DUSS terminal, and a workshop/inspection facility in Genk, Belgium, near the Genk rail terminal. An additional international location is maintained in Zenica (Bosnia and Herzegovina) to support Southeast European traffic. The Lenicker family and co-managing director Jochen Müller lead operations. Customers served include logistics companies (Speditionen), railway transport undertakings (EVU), wagon owners, chemical, steel and FMCG industrial clients, and fleet operators. The company has ISO 9001:2015, VPI-EMG and ECM-7739 certifications covering rail vehicle maintenance.

The service portfolio is structured around seven interlinked product lines: (1) road transport and forwarding with own EURO VI fleet running HVO100 fuel, offering partial/full loads, dangerous goods and intermodal solutions; (2) Servicewerkstatt providing repair, maintenance, diagnostics and statutory inspections (HU/AU/SP/tachograph) for trucks, trailers and KAMAG vehicles; (3) Bahnlogistik coordinating combined-transport rail operations with deployment planning, technical control and nationwide coverage; (4) Notfall-Schiene, a VPI/ECM-certified 24-hour rail emergency service with mobile service vehicles equipped with Gleiszugangsausrüstung; (5) Havarie-Kommissariat for professional damage documentation using GIS/GPS data for truck, rail and container incidents; (6) Stellplatzvermietung, secured video-monitored truck/trailer parking in Hürth, Brühl and Genk; and (7) Mobiler Pannen- und Reparaturdienst, mobile on-site breakdown assistance.

Technology is operationally oriented rather than platform-oriented. The stack comprises GPS-based fleet tracking, IT-supported disposition and dispatch, GIS/GPS-based incident documentation, and mobile rail access equipment, supplemented by a strategic collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for digital process development. Commercial activity is sales-led and direct: the company is an official dealer representation (Werksvertretung) for KÖGEL and Schmitz Cargobull trailers and a service partner for KAMAG yard vehicles, and operates within an extensive partnership network that includes DB Cargo, ÖBB, HUPAC, Mercitalia, TX Logistik, Kombiverkehr, RCC and RTB. Revenue is generated through transaction fees for transport, professional services for rail/workshop/emergency/damage work, and recurring rental income from parking space. No financial figures are publicly disclosed.
