BLG and DEKRA Pool Competencies

Matthias Magnor, Chief Operating Officer (COO) and member of the board at BLG LOGISTICS, and DEKRA Germany CEO Guido Kutschera have agreed on a strategic partnership between their two companies. Together, the partners will address strategic issues in the future and combine their strengths in the areas of digitization, sustainability, and qualification. The partnership creates operational advantages and sales synergies for both companies.

BLG LOGISTICS and the DEKRA companies operate in a constantly changing market environment and aim to jointly respond to developments in the areas of lifecycle management and remarketing, digitization, process optimization, quality improvements, zero-emission, and qualification – keyword skilled labor shortage.

The vehicle logistics – from production to delivery at the dealer or customer’s destination – requires the highest level of reliability, safety, and an adequate network. BLG COO Matthias Magnor sees great potential for collaboration: “Through the strategic partnership with the specialists from DEKRA, we offer our customers in the automotive sector added value: comprehensive solutions and services with unique selling propositions from a single source.” With over 4 million vehicles transported per year, BLG LOGISTICS is the leading automotive logistics provider in Europe.

Guido Kutschera, Chairman of the Management Board of DEKRA Automobil GmbH and responsible for the Germany business of the group, is also convinced of the partnership: “By bundling and jointly offering services from DEKRA and BLG, we are responding to specific market demands. More and more customers need packages of expert services and logistics services. BLG LOGISTICS is the optimal partner for us to be able to offer exactly such service packages.” DEKRA Automobil GmbH is the most important and largest division within the DEKRA group. Other DEKRA companies involved in the partnership include DEKRA Akademie GmbH, DEKRA Automotive Solutions Germany GmbH, and DEKRA Event & Logistic Services GmbH.
