6 global logistics far behind DHLExel TNT K N

Alongside of Railion, Freight Logistics and Intermodal traffic, specialists of the rail, the freight forwarder Schenker is the backbone of the transport division and logistics of Deutsche Bahn. Indeed, in a globalized market, only a forwarder with a global network can now offer end-to-end creative solutions.

No. 1 European in TRM, n 2 world air and no. 3 world in maritime

Where, concentration caregiver, interest growing that give rise to these companies as soon as a group to become a global player. A status which improvises not from one day to the next because Access assumes means but also and above all the experience and culture of the international. Fast back.

Until the beginning of the 1990s, Schenker, still called Jules Roy SA - the new name was adopted in 2001-, was a kind of German Geodis: strong German, few present elsewhere. The moult occurs in 1997, when the mother house, Stinnes AG, absorbs Swedish BTL before be taken over by the Deutsche Bahn in 2002. The following year, Schenker AG offers a network of messaging in France by buying jewel. Result, in 2004, Schenker AG, (CA EUR 8.1 billion of which 48 per cent in TRM; 39 in overseas) and 13 in logistics was already one of the world leaders in international transport. Implemented in 150 countries, the Group employed 39,000 employees around 1 100 agencies. The podium 2004, gave Schenker European leader in TRM; No. 3 world maritime and no. 3 global air.

Develop both competence sectors and trades jurisdiction

"Contrary to those who have that standard offers, Schenker AG has been one of the first groups to have developed both trades (mastery of the supply chain) jurisdiction and competence sectors, through clusters of expertise and own know-how (aeronautics, high-tech, automotive, etc.).". "And the results are: CA 2005, out of Bax Global, was 8.8 billion euros", said the LTL Joël Moebel, President of Schenker France.

But it is end of 2005, with the purchase of Bax Global (CA EUR 2.5 billion), that Schenker AG is installed at the top in the Top 3 of the Organization of transport. Now, if the subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn remains leader on the MRT in Europe with 2.1 share of market (in front of DHL and DFDS) and no. 3 worldwide in the maritime (behind K N and DHL/Exel), is no. 2 worldwide in the air (behind DHL/Exel and UPS) and no. 6 global logistics (far behind DHL/Exel)(, TNT, K N...) but with 1 billion euros of CA and 2 million m2 of storage surfaces. On the ground, with Bax, the group will triple its size in the United States and the double in the far East.

Between 2004 and 2005, the Schenker France CA grew by 100 million

Unsurprisingly, force all based on those of the parties. Thus, Schenker France - n 2 French in air, CA No. 3 overseas and among the leaders in consolidation and partial lots - rose from 647 million euros in 2004 to 742 million in 2005 (14.68); or almost 100 million in one year. "The acquisition of Bax will also have benefits in France where the US group has 1,100 employees, all in the air, we will consolidate in the four agencies." This integration is one of my priorities for 2006. "In return, Bax will have access to our networks in Europe", continues Joël Moebel. And synergies will not limit the integration of teams: beyond, Schenker France will have access to the great American receivables Bax. Other priorities for 2006 "In addition to the densification of the network, we guarantee delivery times: 24, 48 and 72 hours." "Our reliability rate, which reached 95 in 2005, shall be 100 at the end of the year".

Special mention finally for jewel (CA EUR 350 million in 2005), one of the French leaders in messaging who successfully acclimate quickly and pass a national culture to a European culture.
