Our history in brief

GCD Glomb Container Dienst GmbH was founded in 1980 by Sigward Glomb Sr. He had been involved in the freight forwarding and transport industry since his apprenticeship and, from 1965 onwards, was one of the early pioneers of inland container transport. From its first operations on road, rail and sea, the company developed into a reliable partner in container logistics, gaining a reputation beyond Germany’s borders from an early stage. From the outset, the focus was on clear processes and consistently high quality.

In 1988, Sigward Glomb Jr. joined the management team, followed by Matthias Glomb in 1995. Both still run the company today as managing partners. Until 1997, the company’s headquarters were located in the gatehouses at the container terminal, and subsequently at Wurster Straße 321. Since May 2018, we have been operating from our current premises on Nevadastraße in the Carl Schurz industrial estate in Bremerhaven. With a growing team and modern infrastructure, we are now connected across Europe and closely tied to our region.
