    Our Enterprise Lab for Logistics and Digitalization

    We operate a state-of-the-art lab to develop innovative and technology-driven solutions – from ideas to prototypes – to create value for DB Schenker.

    Let’s shape the logistics of tomorrow

    We embrace the future – just as our company founder Gottfried Schenker did back in the 19th century. In this spirit, we drive pioneering research and development activities today and shape the logistics world of tomorrow.

    To gain new knowledge and capabilities for several disciplines, we started strategic cooperation with the renowned Fraunhofer IML and ISST research institute in Dortmund, Germany, back in 2015.
