Gottfried Schenker founded his company in Vienna Austria in 1972 and introduced the concept of consolidation to the transport industry The growth of his company was based from the very beginning on the idea that Schenker should offer house to house transport under the control of own offices and offer all the most important services from a single source.

The network has expanded throughout Europe and now the entire world with over 91,000 employees in 2,000 locations in about 130 countries.
