Corporate group Klebl acquires freight forwarder Theodor Diepold

At the beginning of this year, the staff and vehicle fleet of freight forwarder Diepold have become part of the Klebl corporate group within the context of a corporate succession: for several decades, Diepold has primarily transported precast concrete elements from Klebl’s headquarters in Lähr near Neumarkt. Since the beginning of 2023, the company has been operating as part of Michael Klebl GmbH & Co. KG under the name of Klebl Transport GmbH. Klebl has been looking forward to welcoming the new colleagues and to continuing a proven and successful partnership model.

Reliable and strong partner

For over 40 years, freight forwarder Theodor Diepold has transported dry bulk materials, construction site materials and, above all, precast concrete elements for Klebl from the Neumarkt plant to construction sites throughout Germany. Klebl always benefited from the freight forwarder’s large number of special vehicles and from its flexibility and speed, which ultimately enabled Klebl to adhere to schedules in all construction projects. Klebl will continue the transports within the context of a corporate succession.

The success story continues

The successful cooperation can thus be continued in the future: taking over the Diepold staff, Klebl has gained an efficient team that is familiar with the vehicles and experienced in organizing and carrying out heavy transports. The agreement includes the lease of the truck workshop at the previous headquarters of Theodor Diepold GmbH in Batzhausen for the coming years, which will ensure maintenance and repair of the expanded Klebl fleet.

Dominik Woller has been managing director of the newly founded Klebl Transport GmbH since October 2022. Previously, he was head of department at Klebl Baulogistik GmbH, where he and his team have been responsible for the company’s own transports and for all third-party transport services within the corporate group. Now he additionally manages Klebl Transport GmbH. Against the background of a shortage of transport capacities in the market and the need to guarantee supply security and efficiency, the takeover is a logical and deliberate step taken by the Klebl group.
