Cartel authorities approve takeovers of Gras Group and Spedition Krüger

Corporate, 14. January 2025

We can now implement the acquisitions of the Gras Group and Internationale Spedition Krüger as planned: The antitrust authorities have approved the acquisitions. 

With antitrust approval, the acquisition of all shares in the Gras Group will officially come into effect on January 1, 2025. This means that we can now integrate the Gras locations in Neuwied, Polch, Mannheim, Frechen and Kerpen into our network. This will strengthen our position in western Germany and our role within the IDS groupage cooperation. 

The takeover of the Göttingen locations of Spedition Krüger was also approved by the authorities. The locations will become our property as planned on April 1, 2025 and will operate under the name Geis Krüger Internationale Spedition GmbH. The integration will significantly expand our network in Central Germany. The locations will also be integrated into the IDS system from 2026.
