The Sostmeier Group offers a comprehensive logistics portfolio – including customised mono-user concepts as well as flexible multi- and share-user solutions. We operate sequence centres and carry out container stuffing in our own centres. Our scalable industry solutions include fulfilment, promotional logistics and a wide range of value-added services. Across Europe, we operate cross-docks for tailored LTL solutions.
When customer requirements and product specifications call for customised solutions, we develop customised mono-user concepts – efficient, flexible and precisely tailored to your processes.The Sostmeier Group realises both brownfield and greenfield projects, including directly at your site if desired. We take care of investments in real estate, IT systems or special equipment for you as part of our contract logistics services.Our mono-user concepts offer our customers multiple benefits: reduced planning effort, lower capital commitment and the option of outsourcing specific logistics processes.
By pooling warehousing activities at a single location in line with product requirements, we create tangible cost advantages for our customers. Personnel, technology and storage space are utilised to capacity, and seasonal fluctuations are efficiently balanced – ideal for a wide range of industry requirements.Our multi-user warehouses offer a cost-effective solution for storing and processing products in compliance with process requirements – particularly attractive for start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, you benefit from established local distribution channels and the added value they create.For example: at our location in Flieden, Hesse, we consolidate customers from the food industry. Facilities include a semi-automated high-bay warehouse, block storage solutions, as well as extensive services, such as order picking, repacking and a wide range of value-added services.At our locations across Europe, we provide customised warehousing solutions for the industrial and consumer goods sectors – solutions that are reliable, scalable and future-proof.
Our locations
Modern order picking with handheld scanners.
At our sequence centres, we ensure that goods and components are delivered in exactly the right order and at the defined time – just-in-sequence. This is crucial to ensure smooth assembly and production processes, especially in the case of high product variety and growing distances between suppliers and production.Our locations are supplied via long-distance JIT deliveries. We store goods for up to four days and deliver them either in batches according to sequence calls, or – as in the automotive industry – directly to the assembly line on a vehicle-specific basis.Since 2006, the Sostmeier Group has been operating sequence centre solutions and has continuously expanded its expertise through digitalisation – for maximum process reliability and efficiency.
With cross-docking, goods are transferred directly from inbound to outbound without intermediate storage – for maximum efficiency, shorter transit times and reduced storage costs.Our strategically located X-Docks and hubs connect Europe’s most important economic centres on a daily basis. Here, we consolidate shipments, reduce freight costs, optimise capacity utilisation and, at the same time, contribute to CO2 reduction.Our X-docks are “network-open” and can be flexibly combined with regional general cargo services as well as national and international main routes.Our HUB software enables seamless shipment tracking at the package level – for full transparency and maximum control. On request, we offer you comprehensive cross docking solutions from a single source.
Container stuffing refers to the professional loading of containers for sea or intermodal transport – with a focus on optimal volume utilisation, correct load securing and efficient unloading sequences. In view of the continuing growth in global container traffic – driven in particular by the intercontinental division of labour and booming markets in Asia – professional stuffing processes are playing an increasingly vital role.
The Sostmeier Group is the only freight forwarder worldwide to use patented double-deck frames for sea containers. Their use brings a number of advantages.
