Our history

Logistics in the heart of the Alps is not an easy job, but to compete and grow we had to strengthen our uniqueness: today we proudly represent one of the most successful operators, supporting our customers with a complete range of logistics services.

1936

The birth of the entrepreneurial dream

The history of GRUBER Logistics starts back in 1936 when Josef Gruber founded the company “Gruber Giuseppe Trasporti e spedizioni internazionali” in Bolzano, transporting loads of woods down from the mountains of South Tyrol. Guided by the strong entrepreneurial spirit of its founder, the company soon began specialising in special and heavy loads and founded its first Italian branch in Milan, followed shortly after by the German branch in Kiefersfelden.

’80s

The expansion of our services

Building on Josef Gruber’s motto “Do everything you can to simplify your clients’ life and reduce their workload”, we are now able to offer a full array of services ranging from full, partial and special loads, to air and sea freight including warehouse logistics. Thanks to the many offices in Italy, Austria and Germany, over these years we have been able to build a widespread network of services and create solid and lasting partnerships with our customers.

2000s

From South Tyrol to Europe

Starting with our headquarters in Auer, South Tyrol, and led by the second generation of the Gruber family, we expand our business on a European scale. Thanks to our innovative spirit and firm dedication to the customer, we continue to grow by opening branches in Belgium and the Netherlands, and increasingly consolidating our strategic presence in Europe. At the same time, we develop a further product for our customers, becoming operational in a new sector: industrial relocations. Our service portfolio is now complete.

2010

Internationality as a mission

2010 was the turning point for GRUBER Logistics. We are now a multinational company with 24 offices located in Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Romania, Lithuania, Russia and China.

2014

A family story

From 1936 until today the Gruber family has never abandoned the helm of the company. In 2014, a new board of directors was formed by Kurt, Christian, Michael and Martin Gruber, the latter as the new CEO.

Today

Ready to step into the future

Guided by a strong innovative spirit, combined with over 80 years of experience, we are ready to embrace with determination the challenges that the future holds. But our mission remains the same: to create solutions for our customers to make their lives easier.

2022

Gruber Logistics and Universal Transport step into the future together

Two successful European logistics companies are joining forces: the integration of Universal Transport into Gruber Logistics creates a new European market leader in heavy- and specialized transport.

Our values

As a family business we have always engaged in building long-term relationships with employees and partners. The trust we have gained over the years is our driving force to actively face challenges, to continuously improve and to follow our mission by making our clients’ lives easier. It is their trust being our daily source of motivation, enabling us to join forces and move mountains together.
