What began in 1939 with three tractor units is now a state-of-the-art logistics company with 2,500 employees. Operational logisticians, freight forwarders, engineers, computer scientists and business economists live and experience the world of logistics every day. Our interdisciplinary teams of experts are constantly improving the supply chain in our customer projects. All processes are IT-supported. The network of Schäflein locations now spans 35 sites in Germany, Austria and Poland.
Eight decades of Schäflein. And we continue to grow.
Schäflein AG bundles the competences in the group of companies and thus offers holistic logistics concepts. Our core task is to expand, develop and manage the company portfolio as a whole, as well as each subsidiary and investment, in a value- and performance-orientated manner.
All companies have a clear performance profile and are recognised as specialists in the industry and by our customers. The respective services can be sensibly combined in practice and result in unique logistics solutions. This unique selling point underpins our sustainable profitability and growth.
We combine the tradition of an owner-managed company with the innovative strength of a modern logistics company. This gives us fundamental stability, but also creates incredible dynamism. This is exactly what characterises us. This is exactly what our customers rely on. We do logistics … with heart and mind. That’s how we’ve always done it – we remain true to ourselves.
Achim Schäflein
Chairman of the Executive Board,
Head of Marketing and Sales
Logistics – that always means: a million detailed questions need an answer. And we provide them. Our customers have gratefully relied on us for decades. And we are prepared to think about the answers again and again. This has made us what we are today.
Bernd Schäflein
Board of Directors and
Head of Operations
Sustainability has a special status at Schäflein. This includes the stable capitalisation and entrepreneurial commitment of the owners as well as the expertise and motivation of our employees.
Christoph Heller

Finance and Human Resources
Today, companies are also rated according to how green their environmental footprint is. That’s why we invest in environmentally friendly logistics concepts for our customers. This includes transport chains with an optimised CO2 balance. Warehouse locations that use natural resources sparingly, for example because they have water treatment plants, generate electricity using solar energy or were built using energy-saving construction methods. Our ISO 14001 certification proves that we see the combination of ecology and economy as a continuous improvement process.
This can be seen, for example, in the [sprintBOX] reusable system. The innovative management concept for load carriers is based on ecological and economic principles. It shortens distances, saves costs – and yet increases availability.
Quality does not fulfil itself with a certificate on the wall. Quality is an attitude that leads to greater performance and profitability – at the same time. We have developed our own programme based on this: Schäflein Supply Chain Excellence, or SSCE for short. Our quality and efficiency programme optimises our processes on an ongoing basis.
SSCE ensures the quality of our services. Today and tomorrow.
Quite the opposite.
It gives us pleasure and motivation to keep working on it.
You can't buy trust.
That's why we work together openly, fairly and reliably for the best thing you can give us - trust.
The products and goods in our halls do not belong to us.
We treat them all the more as if they were our own.
Those who know more, do more better.
That's why we train and develop our employees.
Always and everywhere.
We measure what we achieve and analyse our mistakes.
This helps us to make progress for you every day and to constantly improve.
We are more than the sum of our employees and services.
Each individual contributes their best qualities to the best of Schäflein.
