Three companies of the Raben Group – Raben Logistics Germany GmbH, Raben Trans European Germany GmbH, and ELI Transport GmbH – have merged to form a single company, Raben Trans European Germany GmbH.
In September 2011, the Raben Group acquired the road network of the Wincanton company in Germany, as well as operations in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. After completing the integration in these countries in 2012, it was time for Germany.
– The Trans European extension has been used before in the Group’s history, which is why we decided to continue our operations under this very name – says Ewald Raben, CEO of the Group. – It reflects our international character and emphasizes the continuous development of the Raben Group.
The Raben Group entered the German logistics market in 2005 by acquiring Birkart Systemverkehre. The latest acquisition was the purchase of the Wincanton road network in Germany. Currently, Raben Trans European Germany has 22 branches with warehouses totaling 270,000 square meters, served by 1,400 employees.
– We are not planning any organizational or structural changes – all branches will continue to operate, served by the same employees. The contact persons working with our partners will also remain the same. Only the company name is being modified in the case of nine branches – comments Robert Eberlein, Managing Director of the Raben Group in Germany.
