Vienna, Austria – LKW WALTER, a subsidiary of the Austrian WALTER GROUP, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The family-owned company has achieved a century of success in the European transport and logistics industry, thanks to its strong focus on innovation and sustainability.

With locations in Wiener Neudorf and Kufstein, LKW WALTER is a leading player in the European transport industry, with over 8,000 full truck loads (FTL) per day on the road and in combined transport. The company specializes in transporting goods from various industries, including consumer goods, wood and paper, chemical, metal, automotive, and electronics. By connecting Europe’s key economic centers and industrial hubs, LKW WALTER enables seamless intracontinental supply.

What started as a small one-man haulage office in Vienna in 1924 has now grown into a company with over 1,650 employees from over 40 different nations. This cultural diversity not only benefits customers but also contributes to an open and dynamic corporate culture, recognized by various awards, including ‘Great Place to Work’. To celebrate this milestone, LKW WALTER will be holding events for all its employees.

Initially established as a specialist in groupage transport, LKW WALTER expanded internationally with its first transport to Italy in 1954. This led to further growth and expansion into the combined transport sector in 1984, which has been a central pillar of its success ever since. In recent years, the company has also placed a strong focus on digital solutions, driven by its pioneering spirit that still defines the company today.

CEO of LKW WALTER, Herbert Traxler, attributes the company’s success to continuous innovation and a clear commitment to sustainability. He says, “LKW WALTER was awarded the Austrian national coat of arms back in 1986 for its contribution to the Austrian economy. As a family-owned business, we are proud to play a vital role in the economy and ultimately, in society.”

At LKW WALTER, employees are integral to the company’s success and play a decisive role in its transformation process. Through close cooperation with partners and customers, the company continues to forge innovative paths towards a more sustainable and efficient transport industry.

LKW WALTER has been a pioneer in developing environmentally-friendly transport solutions for over 40 years, with a strong emphasis on combined transport. By utilizing rail/road and short sea shipping, the company has achieved an annual CO₂ reduction of over 329,000 tonnes. The company’s 2030 corporate strategy aims to further increase the number of FTLs in combined transport and reduce the proportion of empty kilometers. It also includes the development of new routes and continuous investment in sustainable solutions to further reduce its carbon footprint. LKW WALTER firmly believes that combined transport can significantly contribute to achieving European climate targets.

Looking towards the future, the four board members, Herbert Traxler, Michael Krainthaler, Alois Höfler, and Alexander Sobota, are responsible for leading LKW WALTER forward. The company’s corporate strategy continues to prioritize innovation and digitalization. One of its latest technological advancements is the digital consignment note, or eCMR, which has replaced 1.5 million paper documents for international transport throughout Europe. LKW WALTER also plans to introduce further digital services to its existing products, such as TruckerPoints, a loyalty program for drivers available through the LKW WALTER driver app. The company also aims to invest in artificial intelligence and big data to boost efficiency.

CEO Alexander Sobota summarizes, “Our vision is to revolutionize the transport industry through technological innovation and sustainable solutions. With our digital solutions integrated into the CONNECT customer platform and the LOADS TODAY transport partner platform, transports can be organized and monitored regardless of time and location, resulting in significant efficiency gains. With our expertise in digital transformation, we hold the key to success for the next 100 years.”

LKW WALTER, a company of the WALTER GROUP, has been a trusted partner for international groups and small to medium-sized businesses across all industries since 1924. Specializing in full truck load transports on the road and in combined transport, the company operates throughout Europe and to/from Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. As a premium supplier for FULL TRUCK LOADS, LKW WALTER ensures a functioning supply chain, delivers the highest quality service, and actively contributes to environmental protection and society.
