The comprehensive point-to-point distribution of hanging textile products

This was the guiding principle of the 13 medium-sized transport companies that came together to set up DTL in 1986. However small a shipment might be in terms of number of items, we supply retailers all over Germany with the quantities, sizes, colours and models that they require.

Our network is sure to include you, too!

The idea for setting up DTL came from the realisation that cooperative efforts need to be made in order to improve networking. It is precisely in the area of comprehensive, point-to-point delivery of hanging textile products that a large number of individual depots distributed across Germany provide the key to shorter routes and lower costs. This also involved implementing consistently high equipment and quality standards on the premises of all cooperation partners in order to be able to market services as a high-value product throughout Germany.

DTL Deutsche Textil Logistik now operates with cooperation partners in 14 countries all over Europe. Textile specialists (and DTL founder-members) Barth + Co. and Meyer & Meyer have been the sole shareholders of DTL GmbH since the year 2000. This simplified structure has allowed us to intensify cooperation and implement changes more quickly.

Thanks to ongoing developments in the areas of IT, barcode-related technologies and quality management, DTL was able to deal with and implement customer-specific requirements quickly.

We have also been able to expand our range of services to meet customer needs. The original core business – the transport of hanging items of clothing – now takes place in conjunction with other activities, such as the shipping of packed textile products and accessories.

Our objective is to supply full satisfaction to our customers, who are the top priority at DTL. Maintaining the right price-performance ratio and our consideration of all the environmental factors involved are just two aspects of this approach.
