Dear Team,
As 2024 comes to a close, it’s the perfect moment to reflect on what has been an extraordinary year for MBS Logistics. Together, we’ve faced challenges head-on, celebrated remarkable achievements and reached significant milestones.
This year marked a period of growth and innovation. Our new website now presents a modern, dynamic image of our business, offering clients a professional and comprehensive overview of our services. Alongside this, our new slogan encapsulates our identity and provides a clear vision for the road ahead. And let’s not forget the joy of our Christmas celebration, where we came together to mark the end of an unforgettable year.
We’re also proud to share our “2024 Year in Review” video, now live on our social media channels. Relive the highlights and be inspired by all we’ve achieved together. If you haven’t already, follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram to stay updated and enjoy exclusive content from across our company.
Thank you for your unwavering dedication, hard work, and exceptional teamwork throughout the year. Wishing you a peaceful and joyous Advent season filled with moments of warmth, reflection and time spent with loved ones.

Our new website is live!
A fresh design, a clear message: MBS Logistics is proud to unveil our completely revamped website. Our goal? To create a platform as personal, accessible and versatile as our logistics solutions.
The new website reflects who we are: individual, approachable, personal. This is evident not only in the design and content but also in our new slogan: “Logistics, made personal.”
Here, you’ll find more than just information about our services. You’ll gain insights into what makes MBS Logistics unique – our values, our projects and most importantly, the people behind the logistics.
With a sleek, user-friendly structure and a clean design, our website makes it easier than ever for customers – and for you – to navigate and understand what we stand for: logistics that connects people, markets and ideas.
We invite you to explore the new site and join us in shaping the future of logistics. Take a look and see for yourself at www.mbslogistics.com. We’d love to hear your feedback and ideas!
MBS Logistics: Reimagined. Redesigned. Always personal.
Our new slogan: “Logistics, made personal.”
You may have already noticed: our new website brings a breath of fresh air to MBS Logistics! At the heart of this transformation is our new slogan: “Logistics, made personal.” It replaces our previous tagline, “The Art of Logistics” and sets a clear focus on what defines us: a personal touch.
Why this change?
Because at MBS, people come first – both our customers and our team. Our logistics solutions are tailored, approachable and crafted to meet the unique needs of those we serve. The new slogan encapsulates this ethos and complements our logo, which, with its human face, symbolises personal connection. It represents all of us – the people who make logistics a personal experience every day.
Thank you to all of you!
Together, we create logistics that doesn’t just connect continents but also people – with empathy, collaboration and heart. You are the foundation of our success, and for that, we thank you deeply.
MBS Logistics is evolving – with you and because of you.

MBS Logistics at the Colonia Kochkunstverein’s Goose Dinner
In November, MBS Logistics had the honour of participating in the traditional Goose Dinner hosted by the Colonia Kochkunstverein from Cologne. This special event provided the backdrop for the inaugural presentation of the “Fritz Schramma Award,” which was given to Herbert Reul, the Minister of the Interior for North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany.
The award recognises exceptional contributions to politics, civil society and public safety, with the laudation delivered by former German Minister-President Armin Laschet.
Our presence at this event highlights MBS Logistics’ deep connection to the region and our commitment to social responsibility. The values promoted by the Colonia Kochkunstverein through this award – reliability, responsibility and solidarity – are reflected in our daily work.
We are proud to have been part of such an inspiring evening, which celebrated not only the award recipient but also the collaboration between business, politics and civil society.
