The logistics provider Johann Mader GmbH is expanding its contract logistics business for international companies in the automotive sector. At the Mader location in Nuremberg, the logistics provider takes on the logistics for the customers of the Indian freight forwarder for sea and air freight, Fretlog, as the German partner and contact.
(Ansbach/Nuremberg) This includes globally operating automotive suppliers that produce parts for the European market in India or Asia. The cooperation agreement was signed by both companies, which have been in negotiations for 18 months, at the Mader headquarters in Ansbach at the end of November 2023.
Fretlog was founded in 2013 by Muharrem Dursun (Chairman) and Pradeep Alwar (Managing Director) and is now part of the Turkish ARKAS Group. In addition to locations in India, the company operates branches in Turkey and Japan and maintains a global network of partnerships. The customers primarily come from the segments of automotive suppliers, chemicals, natural stone, and industry.
As a cooperation partner of Fretlog, Mader provides contract services typical for the automotive industry. These include container follow-ups, unloading of goods, customs clearance, storage, repacking into reusable containers, parts cleaning, and container management. Additionally, Mader transports and distributes the products to the end customers of the European automotive industry. The management of an open customs warehouse – which represents an expansion of Mader’s service portfolio – is in planning.
“Together with Fretlog, we want to further expand our services for international automotive suppliers. India is one of the world’s largest economies and one of the top vehicle markets globally, with high growth rates and respected production sites for both German and international OEMs and suppliers. We are very pleased to have now formalized the already existing cooperation in writing,” comments Philipp Thiele, Managing Partner of Johann Mader GmbH.
Germany is an Important Supplier Market
“Germany is a very important supplier market for international companies that produce in India. Both Mader and Fretlog are owner-managed, medium-sized companies with extensive expertise in working with the automotive industry. We meet on equal terms and maintain short decision-making paths. Our joint customers benefit from this quality,” adds Pradeep Alwar, Managing Director of FRETLOG India Pvt. Ltd.
