IDS is strengthening the network with two partners who will in the future cover the previous area of the DSV depot in Baunatal. This is intended to ensure reliable general cargo supply in this central economic area, it says.

In December 2024, the Geis Group acquired the forwarding company Krüger in Göttingen, which will be responsible for the Göttingen/Kassel area in the IDS network together with Kühne + Nagel Hauneck.
