history

On June 1, 1928, Friedrich Zufall founded the company Hessischer Fern-Verkehr Friedrich Zufall GmbH , based in Kassel . A few years later branches were added in Fulda (1934) and Göttingen (1935) as well as an agency in Bremen and Bremerhaven (1937). After several bombings in Kassel, the company headquarters was relocated to Göttingen in 1942/43. After the death of Friedrich Zufall in 1946, Gerhard F. Müller became managing director and took over the company shares. This was followed by branches in Osterode (1946), Hann Münden (1949) and Hamburg (1960). In 1948 the company was renamed to Hessisch-Südhannoverscher Fernverkehr Friedrich Zufall and in 1965 was given the name Friedrich Zufall Internationale Spedition (GmbH & Co. KG since 1976). In 1968 Gerhard Müller was appointed managing director.

Zufall has been offering air freight from Frankfurt Airport since 1966 . From 1970 to 2014 there was a working group with Navis AG for the handling of sea ​​freight . In 1976, Zufall was a founding partner of DPD . These shares were sold in 2000. In 1986, together with 10 other medium-sized haulage companies , Zufall founded the franchise- based cooperation System-Gut Logistik Service GmbH as a fast delivery service for general cargo. In the same year, the same shareholders founded DTL Deutsche Textil Logistik. In 1988, Zufall founded Logistec GmbH as a logistics consulting company and in 1989 the first logistics center in Fulda was opened.

After reunification , the company Axthelm + Zufall GmbH & Co. KG was founded in Kölleda (Thuringia) in 1991 together with the Carl Axthelm company . In 1993, Zufall was again a founding partner of the Night Star Express network. In this network, the company still operates four locations ( Kassel , Hünfeld , Nohra and Unna ) as well as the central HUB in Hünfeld. In 2001, Zufall co-founded the Germany-wide transport network System Alliance , and in 2005 the European counterpart System Alliance Europe.

In 2003, together with Sartorius AG , Zufall founded the joint venture Distribo GmbH in Göttingen . In 2014 a new logistics center with around 15,000 m² was built for Distribo in the Groner Siekanger in Göttingen, in which the logistics service provider invested around € 15 million. The company has been consistently expanding its contract logistics activities since 2003 and has set up numerous new logistics centers in Kassel , Fulda , Nohra , Kandel and Hünfeld . Zufall has been running the GVZ Göttingen since 2010 .

With the investments in Transland Spedition GmbH (2007) and Team Trans Hamburg GmbH as well as Team Trans Logistics GmbH (2016), the company also strengthened its range of services in the areas of land transport and sea ​​freight .

Gerhard Müller's son, Peter Müller-Kronberg, has been running the family business together with Jürgen Wolpert since 2013.

In May 2017, after a one-year test phase, the company announced the deepening of the cooperation with the start-up company Pamyra at the Nohra location . The cooperation includes collaboration via a digital distribution platform for transport services.
