Krage & Gerloff Logistik GmbH Magdeburg will join the ONLINE Systemlogistik (OSL) general cargo network as a new system partner on September 1, 2025. Until now, a service provider in the Magdeburg area had handled deliveries and pickups for OSL.
The strategy behind the new appointment is to work exclusively with partners wherever possible; ONLINE Systemlogistik currently achieves national and international coverage through 96 partners and eight service providers. “The heterogeneous structure with partners and service providers meets all requirements in terms of quality and coverage,” explains Verena Käuper, member of the OSL management board. “However, we generally prefer system partners, as service providers work under different conditions.”
Krage & Gerloff Logistik GmbH aims to strengthen its branch in Magdeburg, the capital of Saxony-Anhalt, through the partnership. “We expect the OSL network to enable us to meet customer requirements at our Magdeburg branch even more reliably in the future,” says Managing Director Sebastian Gerloff. “In addition, the strong European route network with short transit times will enable us to further expand our market position in Magdeburg.”

In order to strengthen its market position in Saxony-Anhalt, Krage & Gerloff took over the Magdeburg site from Ritter Logistik GmbH in March 2024, which had been newly built in 2001. At this branch, 50 specialists offer general cargo services, partial and full load transport with their own fleet, air and sea freight, as well as warehouse and project logistics on 2,500 square meters of handling space. Krage & Gerloff handles 300 shipments per day in Magdeburg. The official change of name from “Ritter Logistik” to “Krage & Gerloff Logistik” will take place on September 1, 2025.
