The campus team is characterised by high flexibility, experience and innovative strength, can quickly implement individual customer requirements and works in partnership with customers.

We firmly believe that, thanks to our operational flexibility and our strong network, including transport by all possible modes (e.g. parcel, express, LTL and FTL or air freight), we can work with you to develop and expand your business in Germany, within Europe and around the globe. As part of the DHL Group, we can offer you end-to-end logistics solutions from a single source.

DHL Supply Chain offers a wide range of options for integrating customers. Both fully automated concepts and manual, specially adapted processing and handling can be implemented. Due to the large number and diversity of individual customers and their requirements, the LSH Campus team has become very flexible over the years and has intense experience in automation, innovation and quality. It can take on any type of contract logistics in a very short time, both on the DHL standard platform and in customer systems. Partnership-based cooperation with our customers, regular training of our employees and standardised project support are among the success factors.
