Brief Profile

2007
October - Geodis expanded its freight forwarding capabilities through the purchase of its German partner Rohde & Liesenfeld. Rohde & Liesenfeld had both a sea freight and air freight business with sales of €270m. Its largest business was in Germany, but it had significant exposure to South America, South Africa and Australia.
Geodis bought a stake in Rohde & Liesenfeld worth €13m in 2002 and paid a further €77m to purchase the rest of the company.
With the purchase of Wilson from TNT, Geodis indicated its intention not only to increase its exposure to freight forwarding but also to expand business outside of France through acquisition. Clearly the acquisition of Rohde & Liesenfeld is part of that strategy. It will also contribute to Geodis' CEO, Pierre Blayau's target of increasing turnover to over €5.5bn by 2008.
Rohde & Liesenfeld is a German based freight forwarding company which was originally established in 1933. It grew internationally throughout the 1950s and it now operates a network of 137 offices in 47 countries worldwide including the USA and Latin America. The company entered into a strategic alliance with French forwarding company Geodis in 2002.It focuses on solutions which cover the complete supply and logistics chain, in the automotive, oil and gas, consumer products, and energy sectors.
