The M&M Militzer & Münch Group, one of the oldest freight forwarding companies, has been managing its clients’ transport services for 130 years. The year 2010 also marks the 20th anniversary of the M&M Group’s presence on the Polish market.
The company was founded in 1880 as a family business established by Richard Militzer and Werner Münch in the Bavarian town of Hof. Initially, the company operated in the rail freight market under the name “Authorized Transport Services of the Kingdom of Bavaria Railways,” and over time it expanded its offer to include road, sea, and air transport, as well as customs services. Today, M&M International Holding AG, based in St. Gallen, Switzerland, is an international group providing services in 36 countries. Despite the significant change in the nature of the enterprise that has taken place over 130 years of operation, the heirs of the group’s founders are still its shareholders and hold important management positions.
From the beginning of its operations, the M&M Group has focused on organic growth and thoughtful territorial expansion. The company has concentrated its business activities in the Eurasian and North African regions.
Since 1990, M&M has been a co-creator of the Polish logistics market, which is of strategic importance for the group, which is oriented towards East-West transport. Currently, the company’s interests in Poland are represented by M&M Polska Sp. z o.o. and M&M Air Sea Cargo SA, which offer clients a full range of freight forwarding products by land, sea, and air.
The company’s immediate plans for the Polish market include creating a permanent fleet of contract carriers, developing specialized services for the medical and financial sectors, and improving customer service processes.
– Thanks to proper transport space management under the supervision of a dedicated specialist, our client can count on achieving measurable business benefits. For 20 years, our experience and competence in this area have been consistently rated highly. Therefore, despite difficult times, we are full of hope for another milestone anniversary on both the Polish and international markets – summarizes Wojciech Niemotko, Managing Director of M&M Polska Sp. z o.o.
