history
In 1999 the partners Frank O. Blochmann, Burkhard Bräkling, Werner Nies, Kurt Pelster and Raimund Stüer founded TX Logistik AG. In 2003, the first cross-border transports to Italy and the Netherlands were set up and subsidiaries were founded in Austria and Switzerland. In addition, there was a cooperation with the Italian state railway FS, which also took over a share of 15 percent of the company's capital. In 2004 a subsidiary was founded in Sweden and the first transit traffic through Switzerland started. A year later, Trenitalia took over the majority of the company with a 51 percent stake, which expanded the transports from Northern and Central Europe to Italy. The remaining 49 percent of the shares were taken over by the Italian State Railways in early 2011 from the founding owners. In April 2015, TX Logistik relocated its headquarters from Bad Honnef to the Troisdorf district of Spich ( Airport Gewerbepark Junkersring ).
In October 2015, the company's licenses in Sweden, Denmark and Norway were revoked due to security deficiencies. From December 22nd, 2017 TX Logistik will be able to drive in Sweden again. TX Logistik has been waiting for a new driving license for Denmark and Norway since 2015.
