History

"From a family business to an international player"

Our company has been operating for two generations, and has developed into a Europe-wide transport and logistics service provider. Founded in 1990 by Ingo Prüstel in Callenberg / Saxony as a beverage wholesaler, the location expansion continued in 2012 in Gilau and in 2014 in Hartheim. Thanks to years of experience and the courage to make visions a reality, we have always been able to comply with the requirements of the markets and also helped shaping them.

Corporate headquarters Callenberg/ Saxony

Callenberg in Saxony is the home of the main headquarters of our logistics company. At this location we work on innovative logistics models and solutions for our customers and partners as well as further development of the infrastructure for transport and warehouse management. Our experience and focus in Callenberg are in the areas of beverage, paper, building materials and automotive logistics. From Saxony we arrange partial and full loads to all over Europe.

Hartheim/ Baden-Wurttemberg

In addition to the distribution of Europe-wide part and full load transports, our focus in Hartheim is also on regional and nationwide groupage logistics in the tri-border areas of south-west Germany, France and Switzerland.

We operate 12T vehicles, which guarantee us flexibility on our routes. We are a part of a logistics cooperation in Hartheim that provides the most efficient solutions for our customers. Following the construction of another new modern temperature controlled logistics hall, we offer an additional storage area of approx. 2,000 sqm with flexible ramp facilities.

The subsidiary PRUESTEL Spedition SRL in Ro- mania serves our cross-border logistics route through Central Europe. The transport in par- tial and full load transport runs our fleet from Romania via Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, France, to the Benelux countries or to Northern Spain. Vehicles such as Tautliner, Megaliner and Walking-Floor semi-trailers are used. In order to promote qualified young talent, an academy was set up in Romania, which trains prospec- tive motorists and offers them valuable work- shops in this driving area, sensitizes them to the topic of securing cargo and convey basic truck knowledge. The expansion of various warehou- sing services is already being planned for the Gilau site.
