Spedition Nuber GmbH

What Spedition Nuber GmbH does

Spedition Nuber GmbH is a mid-sized German logistics services provider headquartered in Augsburg, Bayern, operating since 1948 (in current corporate form since 1979) and fully owned by the Roman Mayer Logistik Group since October 2021. The company operates a fully integrated logistics portfolio spanning six core service lines: Railport (intermodal road-rail transport via two private rail sidings with direct hall connection), Spedition (national and international LTL/FTL forwarding), Transport (own fleet of 10 Euro 6 semi-trailer tractors plus 2 18t trucks and 15 Code XL-certified Tautliner trailers), Lagerlogistik (warehousing on 9,500 sqm on-site plus ~30,000 sqm external contract-logistics space), Beratung (logistics consulting), and Mehrwegbehälterlogistik (returnable container pooling via sister brand comepack). Specialisations include paper logistics (~53,000 tonnes/year, KUMAS award-winning supply chain), hazardous goods handling (WHG-approved), crane handling up to 6.3 tonnes, project logistics, and aerospace-grade warehousing demonstrated through a long-term DAHER AEROSPACE partnership.

The technology stack consists of conventional logistics automation: ERP/transport management systems, a multi-tenant web-enabled electronic warehouse management system with FIFO/LIFO and batch management, internet-based parcel-level shipment tracking via the Online Systemlogistik (OSL) network, and modern fleet telematics including turning assistants, distance radar, and lane-keeping systems. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on freight (per shipment or tonne-kilometre), managed-services contracts for warehousing/contract logistics, and professional-services fees for consulting and customs/sea/air freight add-ons. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by a website with inquiry forms and a customer portal; pricing is custom quote-based with no published rate cards. The company is certified to DIN ISO 9001:2015, DIN ISO 14001:2015, and HACCP, holds nationwide waste transport and oversized-load permits, and serves primary segments including manufacturing, paper/printing, general commerce, food/beverage, and aerospace — operating across Germany, Europe (via OSL's 96+ stations in 19 countries), and worldwide for select forwarding clients.
