They selected the latin word for the river Rhine as a name – Rhenus. The company was then registered as Rhenus Transport GmbH headquartered in Frankfurt in the commercial register. At the same time the first branches are established in Mannheim, Mainz, Antwerp and Rotterdam.
In the late autumn 2012 Rhenus presents itself as a globally operating logistics group, generating turnover of more than EUR 3.3 billion and more than 19,000 employees.
