What Gebr. Thomaidis GmbH does

Gebr. Thomaidis GmbH is a privately held German freight logistics company founded in 1992 and headquartered in Hanau, Hessen. The firm operates a B2B freight forwarding and road haulage business focused on the Greece–Central Europe trade corridor, running daily LTL (less-than-truckload) and FTL (full-truckload) departures with an owned fleet of trucks and trailers, and complementing that owned asset base with IATA-certified partner agents for air freight and shipping lines/NVOCC partners for ocean freight.

Its service portfolio spans six core lines: STRASSENTRANSPORT (road, LTL/FTL), KOMBINIERER TRANSPORT (intermodal/multi-mode routing positioned as a Green Logistics offering), SEETRANSPORT (sea freight via NVOCC partners), LUFTTRANSPORT (air freight via IATA partners), LAGERUNG UND VERTRIEB (warehousing and distribution), and FERRY BOOKING. Operating compliance references include ADSp 2017, Logistik-AGB 2019, ADR (dangerous goods by road), and CMR (international road carriage).

The company has a three-office footprint (Hanau, Aspropirgos, Thessaloniki) and serves business customers requiring cross-border transport between Greek urban centers and Central European destinations. Pricing is quote-based, customers are assigned dedicated contact persons, and revenue is generated through transaction-based freight fees. The firm employs approximately 23 people (per firmographic data), and no public revenue, funding, or ownership disclosures are available.

• Ewals Cargo Care: Dutch/German family-owned forwarder specializing in European road, intermodal, and contract logistics. Similar size, ownership profile, and intermodal focus to Thomaidis.

Broad incumbents

• DHL Freight: Road freight arm of Deutsche Post DHL Group and the dominant European road/LTL forwarder. Represents the scale competitor Thomaidis faces on the Central European leg of its corridor.

• DSV: Global forwarder that acquired DB Schenker in 2024–2025, creating an even larger European road and contract-logistics footprint. Represents the consolidation pressure bearing down on mid-sized forwarders.
• Kuehne+Nagel: One of the world's largest freight forwarders with deep air, sea, and road capability. Competes with Thomaidis on air and sea legs of the Greece–Central Europe corridor through partner or direct capacity.

Regional players
