Facts & History
We deliver – with individually tailored logistics solutions via air, sea, or road. Of course, we also handle challenging multi-modal project transports for you.
Our focus is on Eurasia and North Africa. While others only serve these markets as a byproduct of their regular activities, we live and work at the places we connect. We are deeply rooted in these countries; we are familiar with cultural conventions and the local frame conditions. Moreover, Militzer & Münch is involved in strategic alliances and cooperations, and continuously develops its portfolio to be able to offer its customers innovative logistics solutions.
In the course of the last century, the small forwarding company founded in 1880 by Richard Militzer und Werner Münch in Bavaria has grown into a logistics group that connects worlds: thanks to committed employees, long years of experience, regional competency and the courage to always break new ground.

1880
The founders of Militzer & Münch showed pioneering spirit when they laid the basis of the company with rail transports more than 140 years ago. The same applies to the experts of Militzer & Münch who developed the air freight business in the middle of the last century, and in the following decades, established groupage transports by rail and truck to the Middle East.1930
As early as in the 1930s, Militzer & Münch became the freight agent of major ocean carriers and airlines. In 1949, Militzer & Münch was appointed official IATA agent. This was followed by the opening of new branches, which were crucial for the expansion of the air and sea freight business, such as the branch office in Hamburg and the first air freight center at Frankfurt Airport, which Militzer & Münch opened in 1962.2000
Militzer & Münch was among the first logistics companies to venture into the emerging markets of Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and China for its customers, and to successfully establish its services there. Today, with undiminished enthusiasm, Militzer & Münch continues expanding its service portfolio, and ventures into new domains of logistics.

AEO - authorized economic operator
AEO status is an internationally recognized quality mark, indicating that an operator's role in the international supply chain is secure, and that its customs controls and procedures are efficient and compliant. AEO status isn’t mandatory, but it gives quicker access to certain simplified customs procedures and in some cases the right to ‘fast-track’ some shipments through some customs and safety and security procedures.
IATA
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is the trade association for the world’s airlines, representing over 260 airlines or 83% of total air traffic. IATA supports airline activity and helps formulate industry policy and standards. As a IATA member, M&M is able to produce its own airway bills. For our customers, it also means a more flexible and fast handling of their shipments.
