The German state of NRW – North Rhine-Westphalia – is considered a leading logistics hotspot within Germany. It boasts an excellent infrastructure plus a huge market volume.

The strength and stability of the federal political system in Germany, especially under the reliable umbrella of EU jurisdiction, is a strong guarantee for our consistently high performance.
Many foreign companies relocate to Germany due to the advantages afforded by its location. A strong region – with sustained political support. There is a high level of cooperation and networking among regional players. They all form valuable resources of knowledge for our customer-oriented solution concepts.
We founded EMO-LOG in 2011 to further expand our competencies in the 3PL market. Clearly separating the organization from the business area of air/sea transport gave our team of experts the opportunity to focus on their very specific area and to develop on their own. In the first few years, the business started with a few select customers from the 3PL sector. Over the years, EMO-LOG built up very solid expertise and was thus able to offer new business areas thanks to its individual, customer-oriented solutions. Today, after ten years of great achievements, EMO-LOG has reached a very good level of recognition, gaining market shares in very demanding business areas. Further important operational development steps are in planning.
