FOUNDATION
The career of our company began over 180 years ago on the Rhine. Since then, a lot of water has run down the river. In all these many decades, Cretschmar has taken enough time to prepare itself very precisely for all the logistics and transport challenges that lie ahead worldwide. Would you like to wander through our lively history? Here you go.

The takeover of various shipping agencies with connections to the seaports on the North Sea and Baltic Sea, the founding of the Neuss branch and the beginnings as a trade fair forwarder characterised this period.
The former forwarding and shipping company developed into a universal company for the shipping industry and organised transports by ship, rail, motor vehicle or aeroplane.
After the end of the war, Cretschmar took over the storage of food for the state government and charities as well as for the central distribution of care packages.
Today, we are part of our customers' overall processes, integrated into their individual logistics procedures: IT, transport and warehousing, including a wide range of value-added services.
