Originally started as a fruit wholesaler, it has emerged into a modern international freight forwarding and logistics company due to nearly 80 years of constant, market-oriented commitment of grandfather, father and sons. June 1st 1937 – Foundation of the Company “Ernst Pape Obstgroßhandel” (fruit wholesale) by Ernst Pape 1958 – Erection of a fruit sorting warehouse with loading/unloading ramp at truck level 1971 – At the age of 28, Reinhard Pape takes over the business from his father and obtains the first license for long-distance freight transport in the same year 1977 – The company already operates six trucks in long-distance transporting, and the company name is changed into „Pape Obstgroßversand und Spedition GmbH & Co KG“ (Pape fruit wholesale shipment and freight forwarding). Due to the existing experience, more assignments can be accepted, including the transports to Italy for the chemical industry located in the city of Stade. 1981 – The company I. Lappessen is acquired. For the development of the company, transports for the NDS (North-German Saltworks, later: AKZO Stade) within Germany and the storage of road salt are very important. For this purpose, a 2,500 m² storage hall is built. 1984 – The fruit trading is discontinued and the company renamed to “Pape GmbH & Co. KG internationale Spedition” (international freight forwarding). 1989 – Demolition of the fruit sorting hall built in 1959 and construction of a 1,600 m² large state-of-the-art high-bay storage for hazardous goods according to the latest safety standards. 1990 – A truck wash system is built and another freight forwarding company is acquired. 1997 – The continuously increasing demand for storage capacity requires the erection of another 2,500 m² high bay storage building. 2002 – Another high-bay storage for hazardous and classified substances is built. 2004 – Reinhard Papes sons Miro and Steffen join the company as managing partners. 2010 – A personnel secondment service based on a license for supply of temporary workers is offered.
