The DENKINGER story

The entrepreneurial spirit that Maria Denkinger brought to life back in the 1960s is not just a legacy, but a mission: only together can we achieve something – everyone with their own skills, in their own place in the company. Whereas in the past it was the family dining table where every employee had a seat and was listened to, today it is the always open door of the management, which always has a sympathetic ear for its employees.

See below how it all began and how it has developed.

1962

Josef and Maria Denkinger marry. Josef Denkinger was already carrying out logging work with his truck at this time.

1964

Josef and Maria Denkinger founded the Josef Denkinger transport company together at his parents’ farm at the Rose inn.

Maria Denkinger has been the soul of the company from the very beginning.

The company logo with the flying duck was created back then.

Josef (Sepp) Denkinger was an enthusiastic hunter and chose a flying duck for the logo.

Transport “as if in flight”. The rose in the beak of the flying duck is a tribute to his parents’ Rose Inn.
