Röhlig Logistics GmbH & Co. KG
Röhlig Logistics GmbH & Co. KG is a German limited partnership registered in Bremen under HRA 11735 HB Bremen (EUID DEH1101.HRA11735HB), with its registered address at Am Weser-Terminal 8, 28217 Bremen. The current legal entity was recorded in the Bremen commercial register on 1 November 2005 and its status is listed as active. Its personally liable general partner is Röhlig & Co. Holding GmbH, registered in Bremen under HRB 5346.
The company operates as an international freight forwarder and logistics provider, offering sea freight, air freight, contract logistics and industrial project-logistics services. Its business traces its origins to a Bremen trading and insurance agency founded by Carl Röhlig in 1852, and it now trades under the Röhlig Logistics name across a network of more than 150 offices in over 35 countries, with more than 2,700 employees reported group-wide.
In its own published business updates, Röhlig Logistics reported gross profit of €234 million for the 2025 financial year, up from €229 million in 2024 and €218 million in 2023, alongside a roughly 6 percent increase in shipment volumes year-on-year. Reported EBIT for 2025 was approximately €16 million, which the company described as reflecting increased investment activity. These figures are presented by Röhlig Logistics on a network-wide basis covering its international operations and should not be read as standalone accounts filed for this Bremen entity alone, since entity-level financial statements are not separately published.
Recent developments reported by the company include the acquisition of a 10 percent stake in the Latin American logistics provider OnBoard Logistics, announced in February 2026, expansion of contract-logistics storage capacity in Australia and Southeast Asia, and the award of an EcoVadis silver sustainability medal in May 2025. The group also operates a contract-logistics joint venture, Röhlig Penske Logistics, established with Penske Logistics in 2021.

Shareholders of Röhlig Logistics GmbH & Co. KG
Two shareholders are recorded for Röhlig Logistics GmbH & Co. KG, both corporate entities holding direct interests in the partnership. Herwig Investment GmbH & Co. KG holds the larger interest, corresponding to 85.2% (nominal capital of €8,520,000), and Belz Investment GmbH & Co. KG holds the remaining 14.8% (nominal capital of €1,480,000), based on Handelsregister shareholder data verified 4 September 2026. Both interests are recorded as direct, ordinary holdings, and no other shareholders appear on the current register extract. Secondary sources associate Herwig Investment GmbH & Co. KG with the Herwig family and Belz Investment GmbH & Co. KG with Gabriele Belz (née Schackow), consistent with the percentages on record, though this association has not been independently confirmed from a primary ownership filing for the two holding companies themselves.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No Ultimate Beneficial Owner is confirmed from a primary source for Röhlig Logistics GmbH & Co. KG. Both disclosed shareholders are themselves corporate entities, and no registry filing or official ownership chain establishing the individual(s) who ultimately control Herwig Investment GmbH & Co. KG or Belz Investment GmbH & Co. KG was located. A calculated effective ownership percentage cannot be produced because the ownership structure within these two holding companies is not verified from a primary source.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure is full at the level of direct, named corporate shareholders and their percentage holdings, sourced from the German commercial register. Beneficial-ownership information above the level of these two holding companies is not public in the available filings, so UBO status is assessed as not found rather than confirmed or ruled out.

Data availability
Corporate-linkage information is full at the immediate-shareholder and general-partner level and partial for subsidiary ownership percentages, which are not disclosed in the available register data.
