Andreas Schmid Logistik: More than just transportation - integrated solutions with vision

With the guiding principle “Logistics beyond”, Andreas Schmid Logistik positions itself as a service provider that not only maps traditional logistics, but also thinks ahead. The company offers general cargo transportation, system transport, contract logistics and full truckload services - but also goes above and beyond the usual services.

The company also takes on value-adding activities for customers, such as powder coating, labeling, ironing, nailing or filling shelves. Warehouse logistics is thus supplemented by production-related services in order to make the customer's operational processes more efficient.

The basis for such extended services is close coordination with the client. As a rule, the collaboration begins with a specification sheet that is drawn up jointly. This results in a precisely coordinated catalog of services. Andreas Schmid Logistik takes on the respective activities, takes on personnel if required and organizes training courses together with the customer. The aim is to increase the depth of added value, avoid process interruptions and integrate logistics holistically into the production and sales structures.

Flexible location strategy and international presence

The headquarters of the family business is located in the Augsburg region. From here, Andreas Schmid Logistik manages around 30 locations in Germany. In addition, international locations have also been established recently - for example in Romania, Hungary and Slovakia. Expansion is project-based: either by building its own logistics centers, via rental models or directly at the customer's premises as an in-house solution. This presents the company with a high degree of proximity to the market - both in terms of space and content.

This proximity is also strategically anchored. The company sees itself not only as a transport service provider, but also as a partner that can react flexibly to changing requirements. Especially in a time of global instability - characterized by supply chain problems, economic uncertainties and new customer needs - this ability is crucial. Andreas Schmid Logistik therefore relies on adaptability, further training measures and a culture of openness to new processes. The reality of the industry is not glorified, but used as a starting point for entrepreneurial adaptation.

Corporate responsibility: sustainability as a voluntary commitment

For Andreas Schmid Logistik, sustainability is not a legally enforced issue, but a conscious, strategic focus. Although the company is not currently obliged to produce a sustainability report, it has voluntarily opted for comprehensive documentation. Internal teams check all areas for their carbon footprint. Where possible, alternative drives such as HVO fuels are used. Electromobility is being tested and storage areas are increasingly being equipped with photovoltaics.

These measures are not viewed in isolation, but are presented in the overall context of corporate responsibility. As a family business, Andreas Schmid Logistik not only sees itself as having an ecological duty, but also a social and economic one. Sustainability here also means cultivating a stable, employee-oriented corporate culture. Training, professional development and job security are specifically promoted. The question “Why should someone work for us?” is at the heart of all measures - not only to attract new specialists, but also to retain existing teams in the long term.

Future security through clear values and technological openness

Dealing with new technologies is not an end in itself, but part of a continuous strategy process. The company regularly reviews which technological developments make sense - always with a view to customer benefits and its own core expertise. In doing so, the company constantly presents itself with the central question: What are our strengths and how can we make them visible in the market?

Andreas Schmid Logistik understands sustainability as a triad of ecological responsibility, social commitment and economic stability. The company takes a clear stance: future security is not achieved through short-term efficiency, but through a reliable, transparent and adaptable corporate strategy.
