Strategic partnership: CTL and pfenning Group launch cooperation for integrated logistics solutions

We are delighted to welcome the pfenning Group as a strong new partner to our network. The established full-service provider of supply chain solutions based in Heddesheim will become part of our Europe-wide general cargo network, thereby strengthening the performance of our alliance. At the same time, we will benefit from the pfenning Group’s many years of experience and comprehensive expertise in warehouse and contract logistics – a combination that creates real synergies and strengthens our market position in the long term.

Warehouse logistics meets general cargo expertise
With this strategic partnership, we are pursuing the goal of not only further optimising our network in terms of capacity utilisation, but also expanding its functionality. Thanks to the pfenning Group’s expertise in warehousing, we will need to rely less on project-based cooperation in this segment in the future. ‘General cargo logistics thrives on networked structures and intelligent interfaces,’ says our CEO Francesco De Lauso. ‘The partnership with the pfenning Group creates real synergies that benefit our network partners and their customers.’

Pooling expertise, unlocking potential
The cooperation enables the pfenning Group to expand its service portfolio in the area of general cargo logistics and gain access to our Europe-wide network. Through our collaboration with 30 international partners in just as many European countries, we cover the entire European region. This enables our network partners to offer transport services to strategically important regions at attractive transit times and conditions.

Martin Königstein, Managing Director for Transport and Distribution at pfenning logistics GmbH, sees great potential in the cooperation: “Until now, we have not been able to offer our customers a comprehensive solution in the general cargo sector – an important component of the supply chain was missing. The partnership with CTL closes this gap and enables us to provide our customers with even more comprehensive support along their value chain – in line with our guiding principle of “Part of your Process”.”

Extensive industry knowledge and experience
The pfenning Group is the ideal complement to our general cargo network: with 125 years of history, it is one of Germany’s leading contract logistics providers. As an owner-managed family business, it offers customised full-service solutions along the entire supply chain – from warehouse and contract logistics to a wide range of value-added services and complementary services such as project development, facility and security services, and personnel services. With more than 110 locations, over 7,000 employees and its own fleet of over 1,000 trucks, the pfenning Group implements tailor-made logistics concepts for a wide range of industries, including consumer goods, retail, food, pharmaceuticals, automotive, industry and chemicals.
