Removals from Osnabrueck with tradition - Our history

The beginning of a success story

1900

In 1900, Heinrich Koch from Glane laid the foundation stone for today's KOCH International. He started his haulage business in Osnabrück with a horse and cart. His reliability and commitment formed the basis for the company's long-term success. These values were carried on by his son Franz and his wife Paula, who later took over the business.

Transportation back then: By horse and cart

1904

A look back to 1904: the company was still young, but already firmly rooted in the region. Transportation was carried out using horse-drawn vehicles - a symbol of the beginnings of the logistics industry and the changing times.

Generational change in challenging times

1939

After completing his commercial training, Heinrich Koch joined the family business in 1939. At a time of great challenges, he took on responsibility and helped to further develop the haulage business and prepare it for the future.

Two brothers, one common goal

The company is growing

The company headquarters in Mühlenstraße was further expanded and now included the administration, the furniture department and a workshop. At the same time, the forwarding company moved to Elbestrasse - an important step in order to meet the increasing demands of the industry.

Growth through strategic expansion

From 1970

In the early 1970s, Koch International laid the foundation for further growth and built a modern freight forwarding facility on the BAB 1 highway, Osnabrueck-Hafen exit, supplemented by a truck stop. Through targeted investments, the purchase and rental of additional logistics halls, the company was constantly expanded and optimally positioned for the increasing demands of the logistics industry.

Koch International set a significant milestone with the move to the new company headquarters on Prof.-Porsche-Straße in Osnabrueck. The modern building provided space for further growth and reflected the transformation of the company - from its beginnings with horse-drawn carts to a future-oriented logistics service provider.
