Bundesverband Spedition und Logistik: representing the interests of the German logistics industry
The German freight forwarding and logistics industry is a key player in the economy, ensuring the smooth transportation of goods and merchandise. An interest group, a "German Logistics Association" so to speak, has existed at federal level since 2003. The DSLV Bundesverband Spedition und Logistik e.V. was founded in Berlin this year.
According to its self-image, it represents a leading and federal association for more than 3,000 German forwarding and logistics companies, which in turn employ around 600,000 people. The DSLV as the German Logistics Association represents 16 regional state associations that are organized across all modes of transport.
Who is a member of the German Logistics Association?
DSLV members range from global logistics companies to small and medium-sized freight forwarders and charterers (inland shipping, rail transport) to specialized logistics experts (sea, air, customs, warehousing). The German Logistics Association sees itself as a "consultant and service provider" for all companies in the industry, represents them in collective bargaining matters and acts as a mouthpiece and contact for politicians.
