full-service provider of supply chain solutions
Strong group among German family-owned companies
Competent and reliable, we provide full-service provider of supply chain solutions on the basis of our own network structure: our 7,000 staff members on 110 sites and with a fleet of 1,000 trucks actively ensure that the “Top 100 der Logistik” study ranked us 55th out of 60,000 logistics services providers in Germany. As an owner-run group of companies, we provide the backbone for our customers’ logistics.
Warehouse logistics
More than just a covered area for thousands of pallets. To us, warehouse logistics means innovation down to the tiniest detail. Starting with the logistics consultation, we will support you with the fine-tuning of your supply chain, and maintain modern logistics centres for that purpose.
Transport logistics
Whether regional, national, full or part loads, refrigerated or unrefrigerated. In the retail world, we are one of the Top 3 in branch supplies, are established in the works traffic for automotive and chemicals, and will reliably transport your goods to their destination.
Competence+
Almost 125 years of experience are reflected in numerous extensions of our competencies, away from logistics: we have been building and maintaining logistics centres since the 70s, with skilled staff, at the right time and in the right place.
Our industries
Consumer goods
Logistics fulfillment for the B2B and B2C consumer goods market is one of pfenning logistics’ core competencies. Whether electrical appliances, textiles, cosmetics, furniture or many other consumer goods – with us, your items are in safe hands.
Food
Tempered HACCP storage and IFS-certified deliveries of foods are part of our company DNA. Quality, freshness and the special equipment have been the heart of our cooling expertise for over 3 decades.
Retail
Remarketing returns is a key competitive advantage for retailers. Our returns management is a second chance to sell non-food items, and is the key difference in profits.
Pharmaceuticals
Pharmaceutical logistics requires reliable services with no risks or side effects – so you’d better come to us. As well as GDP-compliant warehousing – tempered and spill-proof – we also offer a secure cooling chain and effective warehousing processes.
Automotive & industry
Specialized logistics solutions for production supply, warehouse stocking, (SKD) parts sequencing or in plant logistics: with pfenning logistics, automotive and industrial companies can concentrate fully on their core business.
Chemicals
Need to warehouse hazardous substances that are harmful to the environment, corrosive or toxic? That calls for a wide range of specific precautions and approvals. Whether a logistics new-build, commissioning or the full outsourcing, we are the partner for you.

Our awards
Logistics in the fourth generation
What began at the end of the 19th century with regional milk trade is today a nationally successful group of companies that now has its fourth generation at the helm. In 2013, the company built a unique logistics centre on an area of 50 hectares at the company’s base in Heddesheim in the heart of the Rhein-Neckar metropolitan region with a wide range of flexible possible uses that open up entirely new dimensions. That same year, the “multicube” received the Gold Certificate of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) with a top mark of 1.21 out of all newly-built industrial plants in Europe and is thus number 1 of all new-build industrial plants in Europe. We are now continuing this story of success with the multicube rheinhessen. In July 2020, with an overall performance rating of 83.5% the multicube rheinhessen received the DGNB Platinum award, making it one of the top 10 in Europe.
Together with our team of 7,000 staff members at 110 locations, we consistently achieve new successes that are only possible with a well-established team. A few basic guiding concepts determine our daily activities: honesty, reliability, fairness and respect.
