Schachinger Logistik Holding Gmbh

What Schachinger Logistik Holding Gmbh does

Schachinger Logistik Holding GmbH is an Austrian, family-owned (100% since 1939) logistics holding company headquartered in Hörsching (Upper Austria), operating 17 sites across Austria and Central/Eastern Europe with 700+ employees and a fleet of 600–700 Euro VI trucks. The company reported €311.88 million in group revenue for fiscal year 2024/25 and serves enterprise B2B customers through seven industry-specialized subsidiaries: Schachinger marken & frische logistik (temperature-controlled food, IFS 3 Higher Level and BIO certified), Schachinger automotive (OEM area franchisee, JIT/JIS), Schachinger baulogistik (nationwide crane distribution with 34 crane trucks), Schachinger logistik service operating TRCplus (GDP/AMBO-compliant pharma cold chain) and Techlog (high-sensitivity device logistics for telecom, IT, medical technology), SHP Spedition (European full-truckload and less-than-truckload with daily DE-AT-DE routes), and Schachinger Paketdienst (parcel services via the long-standing DPD Austria partnership).

The operating model combines contract logistics (multi-user and dedicated warehousing, approximately 90,000 pallet spaces including the automated, energy-self-sufficient LT1 high-bay warehouse) with transport services and value-added operations such as co-packing, display service, and serial-number-level WMS tracking. Core technology layers include EDI integration, radio-based WMS, GPS/Astrata fleet management, a Microsoft SQL Server-based data warehouse with SSIS ETL pipelines and SSAS semantic models, Power BI analytics, and the internally developed ESG-Cockpit for sustainability data management aligned to ESRS, GRI, CDP, GHG, GLEC, and SBTi frameworks. Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring warehousing subscriptions and transaction-based transport fees (per shipment, per tonne-kilometre, per handling unit), with quote-based enterprise pricing across all verticals.

The company has positioned itself as an ESG leader in Austrian logistics: it has achieved EcoVadis Silver, FERONIA 2024 sustainability award, Energy Star 2025, and state 'Beruf und Familie' certification, and operates under the 'Roadmap to Zero' climate strategy targeting full fleet electrification by 2040 (no new combustion engine vehicles since 2026), 50% site CO2 reduction by 2035, and 100% UZ46-certified green electricity across all owned sites. The most significant capital project in flight is a 60 MWh / 30 MW battery storage system at Hörsching developed in partnership with Powerlink — described as Europe's largest logistics battery storage — intended to power e-truck charging infrastructure and reduce exposure to grid electricity price volatility.
