The Cargo Trans Logistik AG (CTL) and the Pfenning Group announced a partnership on June 12: The full-service provider for supply chain solutions from Heddesheim becomes a new network partner of CTL AG, gaining full access to their Europe-wide general cargo network, according to a press release.

“By connecting our general cargo network with the warehousing and contract logistics expertise of the Pfenning
