Portrait

Cologne-based Emons Spedition is an established and globally active transport and logistics company with quality and environmental standards. Here you can find out what the medium-sized family company is doing in detail and what goals it is pursuing. Since 1928, the name Emons has stood for continuity, a high level of reliability, flexible services and one of the few medium-sized private logistics networks in Germany.

01

Why Emons

We always have big plans and strong goals for both the company and our Emonsians.

We've been around since 1928 and have come a long way in more than 90 years.

Emons is an organically growing family business.

00

Our vision for a strong future.

Emons stands for independence, tradition and future. As a family company, we combine our established corporate culture with a cross-generational orientation. Through targeted investments, we ensure our independence and future viability — for sustainable success and reliable partnerships.

02

trust

What is particularly important to you is not entrusted to everyone.

00

entitlement

Our customers entrust us with things that are of great value to them. An element without which production stands still. An asset that must be handled with extreme care. A part that is assembled on time by a craftsman.

You don't entrust these goods to everyone. When it comes down to it, quality beats any price — no matter how cheap. Emons stands for quality and reliability. And quality and reliability create trust.

What we do to strengthen the trust of our customers:

Timely delivery of your most valuable goods.

responsibility

With every generation, our fleet is getting greener, only our vehicles remain red.

00

entitlement

Emons has always shown responsibility for the environment. Transportation is our main starting point. With our own container trains, we transfer transport from road to rail. We always keep our truck fleet modern — with ever lower emission engines —, ensure economical driving, increase capacity utilization and avoid empty runs. In addition, life-saving assistance systems are a matter of course for us.

01

Sustainability as a principle

For us, responsibility means combining economic action with ecological and social values. Our annual CO₂ balance sheet documents our progress in climate protection. With Green Logistics, we are shifting traffic flows to rail and actively contributing to reducing emissions.

02

New facilities for environmental protection and sustainable jobs

Our new plants are not only characterized by the latest standards from the outside world. We also work behind the scenes with modern and sustainable technologies such as photovoltaics, heat pumps, district heating, electric vehicles and safety systems to ensure sustainability and safety for our employees.

03

Strategic location selection

Our locations are strategically selected to offer maximum efficiency and minimal environmental impact. We work closely with partners who share our values and promote short distances to the most important economic centers. Technology and Innovation

Emons uses cutting-edge technologies to conserve resources and increase efficiency. Driver training, environmental awareness courses and continuing education help to strengthen the competence of our teams and underline our commitment to quality and the environment.

04

Commitment to employees

The focus is on our employees. We promote a safe and respectful work environment and place great value on ethical action. Initiatives such as JobRad and digital tools support both the environment and the wellbeing of our teams.

05

Social responsibility is an integral part of our identity.

As a leading company in the logistics sector, we face not only economic but also social obligations. For this reason, we have once again decided this year to look beyond the limits of our core business and take on social responsibility. Because we are convinced that companies can and should make a positive contribution to society.
