about Militzer & Münch

History & Facts

Connecting worlds

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

Pioniergeist bewiesen die Gründer von Militzer & Münch als sie vor 140 Jahren mit einer Bahnspedition den Grundstein des Unternehmens legten. Pioniergeist bewiesen ebenso die Experten von Militzer & Münch , die in der Mitte des vergangenen Jahrhunderts das Luftfrachtgeschäft aufbauten und in den nachfolgenden Jahrzehnten Sammelgutverkehre per Bahn und Lkw bis nach Afghanistan und dem Iran entwickelten. Fortan ebnete sich eine vielversprechende Zukunft.

1930

Bereits in den 1930er Jahren hat Militzer & Münch die Fracht-Agentur bedeutender See-Reedereien und der damals noch jungen Luftfahrtgesellschaften übernommen. 1949 wird Militzer & Münch zum offiziellen IATA Agenten ernannt. Anschließend geht es weiter mit der Gründung von Niederlassungen, die für den Ausbau des Luft- und Seefrachtgeschäftes entscheidend waren, so z.B. die Filiale in Hamburg und das 1962 eröffnete erste Luftfrachtcenter am Frankfurter Flughafen.

2000
Auch beim Aufbau des internationalen Speditions- und Logistikgeschäfts in Osteuropa, Zentralasien und China gehörte Militzer & Münch zu den ersten Unternehmen, die für ihre Kunden den Schritt auf die neuen aufstrebenden Märkte wagten und ihre Serviceleistungen dort erfolgreich etabliert haben. Mit unvermindertem Enthusiasmus begibt sich Militzer & Münch heute auf neue Felder der Logistik und baut seine Dienst­leistungen als leistungsfähiger Partner der Kunden aus.

Environmental Policy

In accordance with our claim “Responsibility for tomorrow”, we have introduced an environmental policy that considers and evaluates all processes from an economic and ecological perspective. Since we feel committed to environmental protection, this policy regulates our dealings with interested parties. It will be adapted to new developments as required.

Quality, environmental protection, occupational safety and health protection are part of our company’s self-image and make an important contribution to the success of the company. The environmental policy is made available in digital form by the environmental officer and published on the company’s homepage.

Hereby the management commits itself to maintain, develop and improve the environmental management system and to fulfill applicable and binding requirements. In addition, we commit ourselves to protect the environment and, as far as possible, to prevent environmental pollution.

Our goal is to satisfy our customers by individual, sophisticated and ecologically oriented logistics management. We are there where our customers need us – the distances remain as short as possible and save resources.
As an internationally operating company, comprehensive cooperation with these partners plays a major role, always keeping an eye on the use of resources.
To ensure that all processes run smoothly and thus save energy, we work exclusively with reliable subcontractors who have the same objectives.
Here, too, constructive cooperation is indispensable, as this helps to avoid waiting times and thus increased energy consumption.
The cooperation with these institutions is always efficient and positive, as this also leads to shorter and thus resource-saving processes.
Our strongly ecological approach offers great advantages to our shareholders, as they follow the same direction in terms of environmental protection.
Our cooperation with the participating banks is basically based on ecological aspects, which is set out in the agreements accordingly.
All orders, but especially the transport of dangerous goods, require a maximum of care and professionalism in order to act in the interest of both the environment and the insurance companies.
Our dedicated employees apply their many years of experience every day anew for the benefit of our customers and the environment.

Quality and Sustainability

Our standards and Certificats

We are convinced that customer intimacy, innovative ideas, in-depth knowledge, and up-to-date, top-rate performance all decisively contribute to the success of our customers, and thus to our own success as well. As a consequence, the quality standards against which we measure our products are high. Our quality standards are based on the values we share, on a long term strategy, and on continual employee training and mentoring.Sustainable economy is another extremely important factor for our growth.

In our decision making processes and in our daily business operations we therefore keep in mind ecological aspects and social development. Our quality system is a powerful management tool to pro-actively direct the development of the Militzer & Münch Group, and to optimize processes to the benefit of our customers.Standardized, Group-wide quality regulations, as well as internal training and audits strengthen the quality awareness of our personnel. They ensure top quality service and provide the basis for our ISO 9001:2015 certification.

Our certifications and agreements are a testimony of our desire to constantly serve our clients better.

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.
