Saarland: As dynamic as the logistics sector itself

Saarland is a lively region with European charm. Its exposed position on the threshold between the two largest national economies in the EU, Germany and France, makes this state an important player in logistics. This, coupled with outstanding transport infrastructure, draws a multitude of companies to Saarland to set up their European hubs. Leading logistics service providers guarantee 24-hour delivery service from Saarland to most of Europe. Distinctive for this state is its connection to the multi-national SaarLorLux economic region, a well-functioning cooperative with its neighbors, France and Luxembourg. This, together with its central location, makes Saarland a virtually ideal starting point – as the “Doorway to Western Europe”. It is for this reason that many companies in the logistics sector, from global players to medium-sized service providers, have chosen Saarland as their strategic base. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of these companies. The variety of logistics services offered in Saarland is enormous; they range from carriers to coordination and management, to integrated logistics systems. Accordingly, the Logistics Guide from the Saarland Logistics Initiative reflects this variety and expertise.

The close cooperation between economy and research in Saarland creates forward-looking synergies. Research centers such as the DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence) or the IPL (Prof. Schmidt Institute for Production and Logistics Systems) ensure Saarland’s sustainability, as shown through application-oriented development. Indicative of this is the Innovative Retail Laboratory (IRL), an applied research lab from the DFKI and GLOBUS SB-Warenhaus Hol- ding where new forms of customer interaction are being developed and tested for use. Saarland research is also on the cutting edge of “intelligent production processes”: SemProM, a BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research) project also being conducted by the DFKI, is in the process of developing digital product memory. By using integrated sensors, production relationships become transparent, supply chains and environmental impacts traceable. The producer benefits from the support, the consumer from the additional information. There is a lot that speaks for Saarland. In this dynamic federal state, everyone throws their talent into the pot in order to shape the future together. Saarland’s distinctive “direct lines” of communication and easy access to decision- makers in policy and administration allow for quick action, and those who decide to open their doors in Saarland benefit from the lower real estate and investment costs.

Saarland is as dynamic as the logistics sector itself: we too offer customized concepts for both today and tomorrow.
