HISTORY
Come with us on a journey through time spanning the eras of our company. You will understand why it is passion that drives us.
FOUNDING
Our company’s career began over 180 years ago on the Rhine. Since then, a lot of water has run down the river. Throughout all these many decades, CretschmarCargo has taken sufficient time to prepare itself very precisely for all the logistics and transport challenges that lie ahead worldwide. Feel like wandering through our vibrant history? Here you go.
Bet we can bring it! And that since 1836.
A flourishing textile, iron and metal industry created the framework for economic development in the Prussian Rhine Province of the early 19th century. Steam ships revolutionised Rhine trade, and Rhine shipping gained in importance.
The takeover of various shipping agencies with connections to the seaports on the North Sea and Baltic Sea, the founding of the Neuss branch, and the beginnings as a trade fair forwarder characterised this period.
The former forwarding and shipping company developed into a universal company for the shipping industry and organised transports by ship, rail, motor vehicle or aeroplane.
After the end of the war, CretschmarCargo took over the storage of food for the state government and charities as well as for the central distribution of care packages.
Today, we are part of our customers’ entire processes, and are integrated into their individual logistics operations from IT, transport and warehousing right through to a wide range of value-added services.
