Division ABC Air-Sea Cargo in Frankfurt operates as part of cargo-partner GmbH, building on a long-standing European heritage in logistics. Historically rooted in ABC European Air & Sea Cargo Distribution GmbH, the division carries forward a tradition of reliable freight forwarding and customer-focused service across Europe with a global capability. The overarching company profile emphasizes sustainable, long-term partnerships and a full-service approach to logistics. The Frankfurt division highlights its role within a broader European network, leveraging cross-border collaboration to support international shipments and door-to-door solutions.
With more than four decades of experience in worldwide import and export, the team approaches each project with a tailored mindset. The staff is described as well-trained, capable of providing specialized knowledge across a wide range of industries. The division emphasizes an All-In-One Service model, creating door-to-door solutions for air, sea, road transport and related logistics requirements across Europe and beyond.
Airfreight services are offered through European hubs, including daily transfers to and from Central and Eastern Europe and direct connections to local airports. Optional door-to-door service and charter flights are available on request, enabling flexible options for time-sensitive shipments. In sea freight, the portfolio covers direct transport of full and part loads via European seaports, with pick-up and distribution across Europe, along with specialized handling for oversized or temperature-sensitive goods.
Rail transport is presented as a reliable, eco-friendly and cost-efficient alternative for certain shipments, with a focus on LCL rail services. The offering includes a one-stop solution that can cover pick-up from China and delivery to Poland and other Central and Eastern European destinations, illustrating the group’s cross-regional capabilities.
Warehousing and value-added services (VAS) are a key component, with more than 100,000 square meters of warehouse space across Europe. This capacity supports storage, picking, packing, customs clearance and transport insurance, providing end-to-end support for distribution and fulfillment needs. The division also emphasizes its European footprint, noting a presence in 18 European countries and access to a wide network of partner offices for local and cross-border support.
Technology and data transparency are highlighted through platforms that facilitate visibility and collaboration. The SPOT platform, a cloud-based supply chain management tool, is used to enable efficient communication and process control from order to final delivery, delivering full transparency and data quality across transport operations. The division also describes a centralized approach to payments through a central clearing mechanism for large-scale European projects, as well as industry-specific solutions and centralized data transfer via EDI integrations to streamline administrative tasks.
In addition to core transport services, the organization emphasizes industry solutions—developed with specialized competence centers—covering sectors such as automotive, live animals, fashion and lifestyle, foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals. The combination of a strong European network, digital tools and a comprehensive service portfolio positions Division ABC Air-Sea Cargo as a capable partner for European distribution and cross-border logistics planning. Although the focus remains European, the company frames its services as part of a global logistics ecosystem, aiming to satisfy partner needs with thorough knowledge, reliability and scalable operational capabilities.
