ITG acquires 2RUN logistics - Fashion logistics specialist expands its network

ITG GmbH Internationale Spedition und Logistik has acquired the Austrian company 2RUN logistics GmbH with retroactive effect from 1 October 2023. The fashion logistics specialist is thus expanding its network to include a location in Austria. The portfolio of 2RUN logistics, which also specialises in high-quality fashion logistics, is an ideal match for ITG's range of services. With this acquisition, ITG is expanding its capacities with the new location in Reichersberg, close to the Bavarian border in Upper Austria, by 40,000 m² of first-class logistics space. It is equipped with a hanging system and enables the storage and handling of around 400,000 individual parts. In addition to the equipment, this location also has the personnel expertise for quality control and goods inspection for both textiles and fabric bales.

2RUN Logistics GmbH was founded in 2021 through a management buyout as the successor organisation for the logistics division of the fashion brand ESCADA when it was forced into insolvency again. Since then, Martin Fehn, formerly Logistics Manager at ESCADA, has been managing the company as Managing Partner. Together with the team, he established new businesses, which were gradually expanded. At the same time as the takeover by ITG, the Austrian logistics specialist was awarded a contract for the storage, handling and supply of Austrian branches of a German fashion chain.

As part of the acquisition, the company was renamed ITG Austria GmbH. Martin Fehn will remain Managing Director and will also take on additional tasks within the ITG Group in order to expand the international business in the Fashion & Lifestyle Logistics division.

"We are looking forward to continuing to grow with ITG after the consolidation. This gives the staff, who were highly motivated even in difficult times, new prospects and rewards our efforts to date," summarises Fehn. "The spirit in both companies fits together very well. In addition, we now have the opportunity to offer Austrian customers other services, such as procurement transport, from a single source," continues Fehn.

For Patrick Lindig, Managing Director of ITG, one of the reasons why the acquisition is so attractive is that the company's own network can be expanded to include a well-equipped location in Austria that specialises in high-quality fashion logistics. "Reichersberg is less than 150 kilometres away from our headquarters in Schwaig / Munich Airport. In addition to the recently expanded 80,000 m² of space in Oberhausen and the almost 150,000 m² of capacity in Munich, we now have a further 40,000 m² of warehouse space with the best location conditions and additional personnel resources to better serve both existing customers and new business," says Lindig.
