Reliable, Flexible, and Sustainable

For over 100 years, Am Zehnhoff-Söns has stood for a unique combination of tradition, family cohesion, and cutting-edge logistics solutions.
Founded in 1907 as one of the first freight forwarding companies in Bonn, our family business has continuously evolved and is now one of the region’s leading and globally active logistics partners. Our long company history shapes the way we think and act. Now in its third generation of successful family management, we continue the values of our founder, August am Zehnhoff: drive, reliability, and a passion for logistics. We value and preserve this legacy while drawing inspiration from new market demands to stay in step with the times. Our employees are at the heart of our success. We invest in their training and education and promote a culture of open dialogue. This fosters a strong sense of family unity that remains tangible despite our growth and enables a trusting and supportive work environment.

Modern Processes & Flexibility

In a rapidly changing world, our goal is always to stay one step ahead. That's why we rely on digital tools and smart technologies to continuously improve and streamline transport and handling processes.
Our modern infrastructure, including high-performance container cranes and reach stackers, enables fast and reliable handling – whether in Bonn, Trier, or at our other global locations. Flexibility is key in logistics.
We respond quickly and tailor our concepts to meet specific project requirements. We ensure that collaboration is always straightforward, transparent, and solution-oriented – from initial inquiry to final delivery.

Conventional Logistics

In conventional logistics, experience, flexibility, and technical expertise are what count. Whether it's standard cargo or a special transport – we deliver your freight reliably to its destination.

Inter­modale Logistik

Through our trimodal transshipment centers in Bonn and Trier, we combine truck, rail, and inland waterway transport into well-conceived and sustainable transport solutions.

Overseas Logistics

Globally connected, locally organized: With our in-house air and sea freight departments and strong international partners, we manage your global supply chains – including customs clearance, pre- and post-carriage, and track & trace.

Warehouse Logistics

Our warehouse locations in Bornheim, Bonn, and Trier offer more than just storage space: they are an integral part of your supply chain. With modern technology, flexible concepts, and optimal connections to rail, road, and waterways, we ensure efficiency and security across the board.


    Global Presence & Regional Roots

    Our terminals in Bonn and Trier form the backbone of our operational business. From these hubs, we coordinate container traffic by truck, inland vessel, and rail – 24/7.
