“From measuring stick to container”

Addicks & Kreye was founded in 1908 by Gustav Addicks and Georg Kreye senior, with the measurement of maritime goods and cargo control forming the core business. The company quickly developed into an important player in the Bremen ports and, at the same time, expanded its involvement in the international tally business.

In addition, Addicks & Kreye’s range of services also includes national container logistics by truck and rail, including all associated services that accompany the actual transport.

At the Bremerhaven location, in addition to the repair and maintenance of containers, our container service team also offers trading in these. In addition, the handling of goods and the loading and unloading of containers are carried out there.

The vision of Georg Kreye junior “From measuring stick to container” has long since become a reality.
