History
1978
Quality is our top priority. What our founder Elmar Hertzog started in 1978 with his idea of helping forwarding companies optimise their processes quickly found a logical complement in the personnel business. This combination still shapes us today.
1987
Elmar Zitz joins the company in 1987 as an authorised signatory and soon takes over 50 percent of the company shares. He brings the perfect mix of entrepreneurial skills and market knowledge from the international transport and logistics industry.
1996
Elmar Hertzog retires but remains associated with the company as a shareholder. Hertzog & Partner begins to develop personnel consultancy in contract logistics and for clients from retail and manufacturing.
2004
Another milestone was Frederik Zitz joining the company in 2004. He shares his father’s fascination for the logistics sector, which is under great strain due to globalisation. The demands on the people in the companies are rising rapidly and becoming increasingly complex. Hertzog & Partner recognises the need and decisively expands the direct search for suitable applicants under challenging market conditions.
2008
Hertzog & Partner Germany and Albert Klamert jointly found the Austrian subsidiary, each with equal shares. Frederik Zitz becomes Managing Director of the German and Austrian companies, Albert Klamert becomes Managing Partner in Austria.
2010
We expand our international positioning. Our German and Austrian companies join experts for experts – global logistics & supply chain consultants (e4e). e4e is a leading global network of consultancies specialised in the transport and logistics industry. Our clientele and our candidates benefit from our global market knowledge
2013
Frederik Zitz takes over the shares from Elmar Hertzog and becomes Managing Partner in the German company.
2020
Josef Steinkellner, who has been associated with Hertzog & Partner Austria as a partner since 2015, takes over the company shares from Albert Klamert and succeeds him in the role of Managing Partner Austria.
Today
we offer premium solutions for renowned national and international customers. These are medium-sized companies and corporations from the entire logistics sector as well as from retail, manufacturing, the insurance industry and the public sector.
