DB Schenker comprises the DB Schenker Rail and DB Schenker Logistics Business Units. Following the 2009 economic downturn, DB Schenker is once again on the path to growth and success in all areas – from rail to contract logistics.

DB Schenker is for many companies a strong partner:

• No. 1 in Europe in rail freight

As the economy has globalized, cross-border flows of goods have increased, raw materials and products have to travel increasingly long distances and competitive pressure has grown as well. Companies in industry and trade now place greater demands on their logisticians, while they concentrate on their core business and rely on external providers for complex logistics services. DB Schenker is set up to meet these demands. Whether by freight train, truck, airplane or ship, whether storage, pre-assembly at the company or customs clearance, DB Schenker connects international markets and provides integrated logistics services.
