The Duvenbeck Group acquires Sander Logistics Group and strengthens its regional logistics expertise

The Duvenbeck Group is expanding its presence and performance capability in northern Germany by taking over the Sander Logistics Group. Thanks to having business sites in Hamburg, Itzehoe, Rostock, Halle and Moosburg, Sander will complement the current Duvenbeck network and improve access to key markets in northern and eastern Germany.

“The acquisition of Sander represents a logical and consistent implementation of the goals that we’ve set ourselves. We’re expanding our presence both geographically and in terms of customers’ industries,” says Hakan Bicil, the CEO of the Duvenbeck Group, explaining the latest development. “We’ll create additional benefits for Duvenbeck and for Sander’s customers through the new business sites, particularly in northern Germany, and through the well-founded expertise that Sander provides.”

Sander will continue to operate in the marketplace using the long-standing Sander brand. This will ensure that established customer relationships and individual services will be retained, while the company can make use of the Duvenbeck Group’s resources and its network at the same time.

Dr Jörg Schmeidler, the Managing Director of the Sander Logistics Group, believes that the merger creates a strong foundation for joint growth. “Becoming part of the Duvenbeck Group as a subsidiary allows us to offer our logistics solutions within a broader network and provide our customers with even more comprehensive support. We’re receiving the necessary flexibility as a self-contained subsidiary to maintain our well-established working methods and individual customer relations. Working together, we’ll create significant benefits and tap into new market opportunities in Germany and in Europe.”
