Our quality manager and lead auditor Andreas Nowotny visited four other partners during the internal OSL round of audits.
Gerstlauer Spedition + Logistik in Vöhringen, Swabia, has been a partner of ONLINE Systemlogistik since 2019. The young team around managing director Christian Gerstlauer relies on modern company management and smart software solutions for more efficiency. The haulage company, located on the A7 motorway, also offers a truck service station with a master workshop for maintenance or repairs, including TÜV acceptance, and a car wash for the big ones.
Emons Spedition in Erfurt – an OSL partner since 2015 – places a strong emphasis on multimodal transport. The company’s sustainability strategy is reflected in its policy of shifting traffic onto the railways. Its social commitment is demonstrated, among other things, by its sponsorship of bison at Erfurt Zoo.
In Künzell near Fulda, not far from the OSL central hub, is the location of our founding member Dröder Spedition; Dröder has been part of the OSL network since 1995. Haulage, warehouse logistics, and removals are the services they provide, and Dröder offers apprenticeships in seven occupations in these areas. In line with this, the company has just offered to show school students what needs to be done in a logistics company on Girls‘ and Boys’ Day in April 2025.
agotrans Logistik is also a founding member of ONLINE Systemlogistik and has been a partner in the OSL network since 1995. With around 120 employees, 20 of whom are undergoing training or a dual study programme, the logistics company from Rodgau is an exciting employer in Hesse. And it is embracing digitalisation: AI applications are set to make route planning even more efficient and sustainable; decarbonisation is an important topic for remaining future-proof. Speaking of which: on 1 November 2024, agotrans Logistik was a winner of the Hessischer Gründerpreis (Hessian Start-Up Award) in the category ‘Future-Proof Succession’.
