November 20, 2025

Benchmark International is pleased to announce the partial sale of 12Logistics GmbH to a German family office.

Founded in 2001 by Florian Rückerl and headquartered in Regensburg, Germany, 12Logistics specialises in the organisation of ad hoc, Europe-wide direct transport and express deliveries. What began with three employees has grown into a team of more than 60, with the dispatch division managing around 200 vehicles daily. The company’s service offering is further complemented by warehousing and courier operations, underpinned by professionalism and exceptional customer service.

The single-family office is a family-run investment firm focused on the mid-market segment. The group specialises in succession solutions and already holds a special transport company within its portfolio. They work closely with management shareholders to preserve entrepreneurial heritage while driving long-term growth.

This transaction aligns with the family office’ strategy to strengthen its logistics portfolio, maintain operational continuity, and enhance efficiency through strategic collaboration. By combining its investment expertise with the proven leadership of the existing management team, both parties will secure sustainable growth and continued success for 12Logistics. Florian Rückerl will remain as Managing Director for the coming years and has retained a significant stake in the company.

“At first, I just wanted to see what options were available to me. With the family office, we have now found an excellent partner, and I look forward to working with them in the years ahead. I would like to thank everyone involved who accompanied and supported me during the process.” Florian Rückerl, Founder, 12Logistics GmbH
