In 1958, 1960 and 1965 further branches were opened in Bayreuth, Villingen, Ratingen and Darmstadt. In 1969, Emons Impex Italiana SpA was founded in Milan, thus the international orientation of the company, as well as the introduction of combined transport .
In 1970, Emons-Impex-Speditions-GmbH was established with its headquarters in Cologne. 1981 opened a branch in Verona, Italy. In 1984 the foundation stone was laid for Emons Transporte AG in Lucerne, Switzerland. The Swiss company was then expanded to include branches in St. Margrethen in 1987 and Basel in 1993. The requirement for EDP networking of the branches via dedicated lines was also met in that year. In 1989, when Emons Impex GmbH, Hamburg, was founded, the company entered the sea port forwarding business. 1990 started the expansion of the forwarding company in the eastern federal states. Branches in Chemnitz, Dresden, Erfurt, Magdeburg, Neubrandenburg, Leipzig and Berlin were gradually put into operation. The year 1990 was also when Emons Logistik GmbH, based in Cologne, was founded. In 1992 the dial-up connection was established with the first customer. Two years later, the nationwide Emons network was expanded in Germany.
In 1995 and 1996, the Europe network and Poland traffic were set up and the Europe network was expanded to the east. In 1996, the procurement logistics concept was also expanded to include the whole of Germany. In 1997, the first outsourcing project was implemented in Chemnitz and logistics activities were started.
