Lagermax Group: 105 years of innovation and logistics expertise from a single source

Future-oriented, comprehensively positioned, and constantly on the move – the Lagermax Group sees itself not only as a traditional freight forwarder, but as a full-service provider along the entire supply chain. With a strong focus on sustainable logistics solutions and forward-looking concepts, the company can look back on over a century of experience – and at the same time look far ahead.

Logistics from a single source: from packaging to the last mile

The Lagermax Group understands modern logistics to mean much more than just the traditional transport of goods. The focus is on a comprehensive service approach that covers the entire supply chain – from packaging and shipping to delivery by land, air or sea freight.

Specialized solutions are also used, for example through the subsidiary Logbatt, which specializes in the safe transport of high-voltage batteries for electric vehicles – an area that requires not only technical expertise but also regulatory sensitivity.

From freight forwarding to an international group

What began over 100 years ago with classic transport services has developed over the decades into a diversified logistics network. In its anniversary year 2025, Lagermax will look back on 105 years of company history. A historical timeline at the trade fair stand will not only show the most important milestones of the group, but also present them in the context of global developments – consciously linking the past and the future.

The view to the future is as visionary as it is concrete: ideas such as a “Lagermax Hyperloop,” which could transport goods across Europe in just a few years, illustrate the company's commitment to actively shaping technological trends.

European focus with global aspirations

Despite its global customer base, the Group's geographical focus is clearly on Europe – in particular Central and Eastern Europe and Turkey. Numerous subsidiaries are anchored in these regions. The regional proximity to partners and customers is valued not only for logistical reasons, but also from a sustainability perspective. Shorter distances mean lower emissions – an issue that is becoming increasingly important within the Group.

Focus on ESG: sustainability as a long-term commitment

For the Lagermax Group, sustainability is not just a marketing buzzword, but a multi-layered transformation process. Two ESG specialists are responsible for integrating environmental and social aspects into the corporate strategy across the entire group.

This involves a wide range of areas, from converting the vehicle fleets of subsidiaries such as Frikus to HVO diesel to everyday measures such as recycling and paper reduction in office operations. Even though the challenges in the logistics industry are considerable, the goal remains clear: step by step toward a more environmentally friendly future.

Versatility through specialized subsidiaries

A key factor in the Lagermax Group's success is its structure of specialized subsidiaries. Each company contributes its own expertise, whether in the traditional parcel business, such as through its stake in DPD Austria, or in the field of international air and sea freight.

This diversity enables us to handle almost any logistics scenario professionally. The pooling of expertise within the group makes Lagermax a flexible yet robust partner.

Conclusion:

With a clear strategy for the future, a well-thought-out approach to sustainability, and a broad portfolio of services, Lagermax is positioning itself as a comprehensive logistics service provider with vision. The combination of tradition and innovation is reflected not only in the company's more than 100-year history, but also in the consistent expansion of digital and sustainable concepts – from battery logistics to Hyperloop.
