Appealing 

interconnections 

Unbureaucratic processes, high efficiency and fast decisions 

– the direct routes in Saarland make this possible. Our 

dense network of contacts and partnerships is virtually 

unrivaled in Germany. We usually can get all the decision 

makers to the table very quickly. Short processing and 

approval times for industrial projects have become our 

trademark. 

The interconnections to consulting and qualification, as 

well as research and development are also appealing; for 

the logistics of the future will require entirely different 

instruments than today. 

These points, combined with the geographical location, 

are what makes Saarland so attractive for “logistics” in 

particular. All the major economic regions of Europe can 

be efficiently and quickly reached from this location. A 

Fraunhofer Institute study placed Saarland as one of the 

best “hubs” in Germany. 

That is why more and more logisticians choose this place 

for their central bridgehead. This positive development 

affects growth and employment in our region. We are on 

the right path, but we can further expand our opportunities. 

And that is the very goal of the Logistics Initiative. It concentrates 

all the strength of the sector in an effort to make 

Saarland still more attractive and expand upon its strong 

position in the competition to attract new businesses. 

This Saarland Logistics Guide makes an important contribution 

to this goal. It comprises all companies and institutions 

that offer logistics services in Saarland. Furthermore, 

it expounds upon the expertise found in Saarland and 

presents the individual industry companies and institutions 

located in Saarland through their profiles, services and 

contact information. 

See the advantages of Saarland as a logistics center for 

yourself and take advantage of the many opportunities 

here for businesses.

Foreword 

Incentives for 

integration and 

competitiveness 

The productivity of a region is determined by the efficiency 

of its logistics. It sets the standards for quick and efficient 

processes within companies and in all areas where goods 

and people are managed and moved locally and globally. 

Efficient logistics do not create themselves, they are driven 

by the expertise of those involved as well as by the possibilities 

to apply this expertise in an economic way. 

Particularly high profit arises when there exists the support 

of the best infrastructures and the best logistics service 

providers available. 

Due to its outstanding regional position in Europe, Saarland 

has in recent years become a mecca for logistics services 

and infrastructures, as well as logistics best practices. 

Advancing these services through greater transparency 

and integration was also the fundamental concept of the 

Saarland Logistics Initiative. 

Shining a light on all the expertise and services plays a crucial 

role in this effort, starting with logistics research and 

development, through training, logistics planning, optimization 

and IT, providing logistics transport, warehousing 

and value-added services, and providing logistics infrastructures 

to special logistics services such as logistics 

personnel, special insurance and legal consultation services 

as well as the bundled services offered by logistics-oriented 

associations in Saarland. 

This was precisely the impetus for the “Saarland Logistics 

Guide”. Together with the associations, research and educational 

institutes, service providers and service companies 

active in this field, it has been possible to achieve a first 

comprehensive edition of the Logistics Guide. 

Find out about the wide range of logistics services available 

and take advantage of the variously displayed expertise 

in this guide to help further develop your company.

Portrait 

Saarland: 

As dynamic as the 

logistics sector itself 

Saarland is a lively region with European charm. 

Its exposed position on the threshold between 

the two largest national economies in the 

EU, Germany and France, makes this state an 

important player in logistics. This, coupled with 

outstanding transport infrastructure, draws a 

multitude of companies to Saarland to set up 

their European hubs. Leading logistics service 

providers guarantee 24-hour delivery service from 

Saarland to most of Europe. 

Distinctive for this state is its connection to the 

multi-national SaarLorLux economic region, a 

well-functioning cooperative with its neighbors, 

France and Luxembourg. This, together with its 

central location, makes Saarland a virtually ideal 

starting point – as the “Doorway to Western 

Europe”. It is for this reason that many companies 

in the logistics sector, from global players 

to medium-sized service providers, have chosen 

Saarland as their strategic base. This guide provides 

a comprehensive overview of these companies. 

The variety of logistics services offered in 

Saarland is enormous; they range from carriers 

to coordination and management, to integrated 

logistics systems. Accordingly, the Logistics Guide 

from the Saarland Logistics Initiative reflects this 

variety and expertise.

The close cooperation between economy and 

research in Saarland creates forward-looking 

synergies. Research centers such as the DFKI 

(German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence) 

or the IPL (Prof. Schmidt Institute for Production 

and Logistics Systems) ensure Saarland’s sustainability, 

as shown through application-oriented 

development. Indicative of this is the Innovative 

Retail Laboratory (IRL), an applied research lab 

from the DFKI and GLOBUS SB-Warenhaus Holding 

where new forms of customer interaction 

are being developed and tested for use. Saarland 

research is also on the cutting edge of “intelligent 

production processes”: SemProM, a BMBF 

(Federal Ministry of Education and Research) project 

also being conducted by the DFKI, is in the 

process of developing digital product memory. 

By using integrated sensors, production relationships 

become transparent, supply chains and 

environmental impacts traceable. The producer 

benefits from the support, the consumer from 

the additional information. There is a lot that speaks for Saarland. In this 

dynamic federal state, everyone throws their 

talent into the pot in order to shape the future 

together. Saarland’s distinctive “direct lines” of 

communication and easy access to decision- 

makers in policy and administration allow for 

quick action, and those who decide to open 

their doors in Saarland benefit from the lower 

real estate and investment costs. 

ffasffasf 

Saarland is as dynamic as the logistics sector 

itself: we too offer customized concepts for both 

today and tomorrow.

IBO 

Institute for Industrial Computer Sciences and Business Organization 

The Saarland University of Applied Sciences 

Institute for Industrial Computer Sciences and 

Business Organization is a capable industry 

partner for the evaluation, optimization and 

implementation of software-supported businesses 

processes. The institute focuses on designing 

business processes and software implementation 

analyses for internal and inter-company applications. 

This profile is rounded off with expert 

lectures on commerce and science. In the field of 

engineering, it views itself as a mediator between 

the technical and administrative fields. 

Background 

Due to increasing competition and globalisation, 

industrial companies will need to work more 

closely than before with their suppliers in order 

to remain competitive. The shifting of operations, 

from larger corporations down to their suppliers, 

means that even small- and medium-sized 

companies have continued to specialize in their 

areas of expertise and have thus become highly 

innovative. The big challenge for the future is to 

use supplier knowledge to develop new products. 

Consequently, companies should ensure they 

have both extensive communication at all levels 

and a permanent internal exchange of data. The 

internal optimization and further development 

of business processes is therefore a key task for 

all companies. Suitable software solutions are 

needed that can map and control the activities of 

individual companies. It is clear that applied computer 

science is key to success. Business processes 

and the software used must be coordinated so 

that the software becomes a useful organizational 

tool. Only then can smooth operation within 

an individual company and lasting success be 

guaranteed. 

R&D-IBO logistics services 

• Improving business processes and their organization 

within a company as well as between 

companies and their suppliers 

• Setting up modern, software-supported, transparent 

and planable production development

founded in 1978). It is also a shareholder in 

AIDA Management Organisation Systems GmbH, 

located in Gechingen, Germany. The AIDA ORGA 

group oversees around 8,000 active installations. 

AIDA ERP is sector neutral and supports all the

processes and other areas essential to success. 

This includes a reliable and proven personnel 

time recording system, process modelling and CIP 

manager-based process management, as well as 

seamless integration with the wage and financial 

accounting systems. The conversion to AIDA ERP 

is quick and easy thanks to MS Office integration.

KM Logistics Service GmbH 

KM Logistics Service GmbH is a specialist in the 

fields of customs clearance, distribution and consulting. 

We declare all imports and exports with 

the Atlas system. In the field of distribution, we 

take care of all goods handling, ranging from accounting 

incoming goods to accounting outgoing 

goods, and we provide consultation to companies 

in all areas of customs clearance. 


• Customs clearance of imports and exports 

• Consulting in the field of international customs 

• Incoming and outgoing goods accounting 


• Picking 

• Packaging 

• Transport service provider 

• Freight charge analysis 


• Metalworking industry (reference) 

• No key sectors 


We offer flat-rate customs clearance i.e. the 

price is independent of the number of invoiced 

items. We only need billing data or information 

concerning the export of goods in electronic form 

to compile customs documents (as Excel, Word, 

or text file or via file transfer). We work with software 

we developed for customs clearance and 

offer complete solutions. The flat rate includes: 

complete compilation of all import/export documents, 

controlling the entire customs procedure, 

24-hour customs clearance (365 days a year), 

consulting for all questions relating to customs 

clearance. We also help you create a data interface 

to an inventory control system. 

In the fields of handling/distribution, we take 

care of all goods handling, including customs 

clearance. We generally work at night. During 

these hours, we reduce daytime backorders and 

can process orders coming from Asia and the US. 

Thanks to our special nighttime airport transfer, 

we can reach flights to Asia and the US the same 

day. This leads to a reduction in operating times 

(24 hours for Asia and up to 48 hours for the US).
