MBS Logistics AG, the Swiss subsidiary of the international MBS Logistics Group headquartered in Cologne, has today announced the acquisition of Gerhard Wegmüller GmbH based in Zurich. The acquisition agreement is retroactive to January 1, 2025. With this strategic acquisition, MBS Logistics AG expands its service portfolio in Switzerland and internationally.
(Zurich) Gerhard Wegmüller GmbH is an established company focused on specialized logistics solutions in the fields of aviation & aerospace, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, and complex special transports. A particular focus is on time-critical spare parts logistics for aircraft (Aircraft on Ground / AOG) as well as 24/7 emergency logistics.
With the integration of Gerhard Wegmüller GmbH into the international network of the MBS Logistics Group, customers benefit from an expanded service offering that combines specialized logistics solutions with global reach. Already today, the MBS Group is active in the field of emergency logistics under the brand Anytime at locations including Frankfurt, Hamburg, Cologne, Hong Kong, and Singapore. By combining the strengths of both companies and the international network, synergies are created that not only increase the level of service but also further improve responsiveness in global markets – even for demanding and time-critical transport requirements.
Gerhard Wegmüller GmbH will continue to operate as an independent company under its established name. Maria Wegmüller, a shareholder and managing director since 2023, will remain in her role as managing director long-term and will work closely with Fabian Heil, managing director of MBS Logistics AG Switzerland. Both companies are committed to continuity for customers and employees and aim to further develop their existing expertise together.
With this acquisition, the MBS Logistics Group is consistently pursuing its strategy of targeted expansion and strengthening specialized business areas, building on the location established in Zurich in June 2023. Joerg Roehl, CEO of the MBS Logistics Group and chairman of the board of MBS Logistics AG, states: “With the acquisition of Gerhard Wegmüller GmbH, we are expanding our presence in Switzerland and our offering of specialized logistics solutions. We are particularly pleased that Maria Wegmüller will continue to contribute her expertise as managing director and lead the company in a proven manner.”
