Hödlmayr began his entrepreneurial activity in 1954 with cattle and ballast transport and achieved decisive advantages over the competition with double-decker transport . From 1961 he took over vehicle transport and developed the family business into an international vehicle logistics group. He is considered a logistics pioneer and is one of the most important business personalities in the Mühlviertel.

After the fall of the Iron Curtain , the company, which until then had only had branches in Austria and Germany, began internationalization in 1990 through the purchase and establishment of further companies in 16 countries with around 1,650 employees (2015).
