Duvenbeck has been providing CLAAS with comprehensive logistics services for seven CLAAS locations in Europe since 2012. Initially, Duvenbeck only supplied CLAAS sites from German suppliers, but the close cooperation has led to an expansion of the business. In Germany alone, Duvenbeck uses 80 trucks every day to fetch and deliver goods directly to the Harsewinkel, Paderborn, Hamm and Bad Saulgau plants. In addition, there are goods movements to and from Le Mans and Woippy in France and Törökszentmiklos in Hungary.
Since 2021, Duvenbeck has also been storing and sequencing engines for the main plant in Harsewinkel. Duvenbeck also handles contract logistics for CLAAS Hungary.
In 2014, Duvenbeck received the Supplier of the Year award in the Logistics category for outstanding reliability.
