- Acquisition of a long-establishedroad logistics service provider
- Strengthening footprint in Germany
- Strategic fit to drive growth in European groupage network
Kuehne+Nagel has acquired the road logistics activities of LSL-Lohmöller Spedition und Logistik GmbH, a long-established logistics service provider in Germany offering groupage, LTL and FTL services. This marks another strategic step in strengthening the company's road logistics network in Europe, following last year's acquisition of TDN in Spain.
Founded in 1930, Lohmöller is a family-run freight forwarder that combines a strong heritage and a focus on digitisation. Its operational gravity centre is north-west Germany, a dynamic industrial region with substantial road freight activity. In 2024, revenue from road freight activities amounted to approximately EUR 23,5 million.
The acquisition further enhances Kuehne+Nagel's domestic road freight network in Germany as well as its broader European footprint, with 142 logistics specialists and fifty trucks joining the established network. It also strengthens Kuehne+Nagel's position within IDS, one of Germany's largest groupage freight cooperations, with Lohmöller having joined IDS already earlier in 2026.
Hansjörg Rodi, Executive Vice President, Road Logistics, Kuehne+Nagel, says: "With Lohmöller, we welcome a team that shares our commitment to customer-proximity and qualitative services supported by technology and sustainability. We look forward to jointly expanding the value we deliver to our customers."
Benedikt Lohmöller, representing Lohmöller, says: "Thanks to our long-standing partnership in the international logistics space established in 2018, both companies are well-acquainted and have developed a mutual appreciation. We are fully aligned in our commercial approach and share the same values, particularly regarding our relationships with customers and employees, which makes this collaboration an excellent fit."
The contract logistics activities and industry-related services of Lohmöller are not part of the acquisition and will remain with the current owners. The completion of the transaction is subject to closing conditions and is expected in March.
