With around 2,000 locations in the world’s most important economic regions, DB’s logistics division has a global network geared toward customer service, quality and sustainability. The transportation and logistics experts offer customers tailored, continuous and cross-carrier door-to-door solutions as well as additional logistics solutions along the entire value-added chain.

DB Schenker comprises the DB Schenker Rail and DB Schenker Logistics Business Units. Following the 2009 economic downturn, DB Schenker is once again on the path to growth and success in all areas – from rail to contract logistics.

DB Schenker is for many companies a strong partner:

No. 1 in Europe in rail freight

No. 1 in Europe in land transportation

No. 2 worldwide in air freight

No. 3 worldwide in ocean freight

No. 5 in global contract logistics

As the economy has globalized, cross-border flows of goods have increased, raw materials and products have to travel increasingly long distances and competitive pressure has grown as well. Companies in industry and trade now place greater demands on their logisticians, while they concentrate on their core business and rely on external providers for complex logistics services. DB Schenker is set up to meet these demands. Whether by freight train, truck, airplane or ship, whether storage, pre-assembly at the company or customs clearance, DB Schenker connects international markets and provides integrated logistics services.
