A FUTURE ALWAYS NEEDS A PAST:
OUR COMPANY HISTORY

The success story of REICHHART Logistik began with the founding of a one-man transport company by Horst Reichhart in Gilching in 1967. Since then, the second-generation owner-managed family company has developed into an international logistics service provider. The service portfolio has consistently developed in the company's more than 50-year history and comprises five competence centres: Transport logistics, sequencing and assembly, warehousing, factory logistics and digital logistics. The passion for logistics forms the basis for tailor-made logistics solutions along the entire value chain – then as now. REICHHART Logistik is the proof that a traditional company in a mature industry can grow steadily and keep pace and at the same time never lose the connection to its roots, its people and the region.

2017

50 years of REICHHART

We are taking our anniversary as an opportunity to further develop our corporate identity and align it with the future. The interplay of progress and tradition is reflected in the new REICHHART corporate design and makes it clear: We will continue to design efficient and economical logistics solutions with competence and passion – tailored to the individual needs of our customers.

2014

Founding of REICHHART digital logistics GmbH

Logistics is going digital with REICHHART's own in-house IT subsidiary, which was launched in 2014 in the development centre in Frankfurt.  

With the development of its own logistics software motus, REICHHART shows that it has its finger on the pulse. The solution has been in use in Oberkochen since 2015, for example for receiving goods or tracking shipments. Shortly thereafter, the Pliening site joins them.

2009

Establishment of REICHHART's own vehicle fleet

In 2009, REICHHART took a stake in LOBEKO GmbH and thus brought the necessary vehicle fleet expertise in-house. Since then, the Vehicle Fleet competence centre has been an integral part of the company.

2006

Founding of REICHHART Logistique France SARL

The production and sequential provision of automotive components for a French OEM form the service portfolio of the French REICHHART subsidiary. It is based in Feignies/Maubeuge in northern France.

2003

Founding of REICHHART Logistik Austria GmbH

For an order from long-standing customer Eberspächer, we ventured across national borders for the first time in 2003 and founded REICHHART Logistik Austria GmbH, located near Graz. Production and assembly are among the core competencies of our Austrian subsidiary.

1999

Alexander Reichhart joins

Alexander Reichhart joins our company immediately after graduating. Just three months later, on January 1, 2000, he joins the REICHHART dual leadership alongside Michael Jackl.

1990

Contract logistics services

We continued to develop our service portfolio at the beginning of the 1990s and started the first contract logistics services. The aim is to offer our clients complete concepts from a single source. As part of an outsourcing project, we take over the shipping department at Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH in Oberpfaffenhofen for the large aircraft components produced there.

1988

Michael Jackl joins the company

After completing his business administration studies, Michael Jackl joins REICHHART as an assistant to the management. Due to his successful development of the company, he was named managing director at the beginning of 1991.

1969

Major customer STAHLGRUBER

Our client STAHLGRUBER is inextricably linked to the REICHHART company history. Started in 1969, we can now look back on around 50 years of collaborative partnership.

1967

Company formation

On April 1, 1967, Horst Reichhart registered a business for general goods traffic in Gilching. This is the birth of REICHHART. Started as a sole proprietorship, we now employ around 1,000 people.
