MENU DE | EN CONTACT Profile Team Locations History Ships Downloads More COMPANY History AHLMANN-ZERSSEN can already look back on a long and eventful history. Located in the heart of Schleswig-Holstein, directly on the Kiel Canal and on the River Eider, the traditional iron foundry AHLMANN-CARLSHÜTTE founded the shipping company "AHLMANN-TRANSPORT" in 1950 in Rendsburg-Büdelsdorf. Three years later, the shipping and stevedoring department was established, in order to arrange the shipping of the iron foundries´ own products - primarily bathtubs. Over the decades, the company has developed into one of the leading ship brokers, port handling and warehousing companies in Schleswig-Holstein. The main goods for transshipment are bulk cargoes such as fertilizers and feedstuff, grain, road construction materials and pig iron. AHLMANN-SCHIFFFAHRT GMBH + CO KG was founded in 1989 and a discharging and warehouse facility for the low-dust handling of fertilizers was built in Rendsburg. With the establishment of branches in Rostock, Wismar and Stralsund in 1992, we were able to expand our services offered to the new federal states, too. In order to meet our customers' requirements even better, further branches followed in 2000 in Kiel and Hamburg, 2002 in Wolgast and Sassnitz-Mukran, 2008 in Brunsbüttel, and most recently in 2018 in Bremen. The second namesake also has a long history, as the shipping company "Zerssen & Co." was founded 1839 already on the Eider Canal (the forerunner of the Kiel Canal) by Joh. Chr. Zerssen in Rendsburg - at times even with its own steamer fleet. In 1999 these two Rendsburg ship brokers and port handling companies were merged - and AHLMANN-ZERSSEN GMBH + CO KG was established. In 2002 the first closer contacts were made to Poland, which led to the founding of AHLMANN-ZERSSEN Sp. z o.o. in Szczecin. This enables us and our business community to offer our services in well-known and proven quality in all Polish ports. Since 1st January 2016, AHLMANN-ZERSSEN GMBH has been a 100% subsidiary of the family-owned logistics company "Peterson Control Union", Rotterdam, which employs over 4,000 people in more than 70 countries worldwide. Through the network and cooperation that has developed over the years, AHLMANN-ZERSSEN offers a complete service for shipping, handling, transport and logistics in many German and European ports. The slogan "Shipping and logistics from A - Z" says it all - and is more current than ever!
