Our non-recourse factoring line gives sennder dependable access to working capital, and we are glad to support the next stage of its growth,” says Ansgar Kugelstadt, Managing Director, Coface Finanz.

“Deutsche Bank has partnered with sennder since its foundation, and we are proud to continue supporting the company as it enters its next chapter.

Founded in 2015 by David Nothacker, Julius Köhler and Nicolaus Schefenacker, sennder uses technology to make road freight and logistics easier to manage across Europe. The company uses digital tools to automate transport operations and connect businesses with freight carriers. It handles more than 150,000 shipments every month through a network of over 40,000 approved carriers.
In February 2025, sennder acquired the European Surface Transportation (EST) business of C.H. Robinson. The acquisition helped the company expand its operations across Europe and strengthen its network of freight carriers.
sennder says it has fully integrated C.H. Robinson’s European business into its own technology platform, sennOS. Both businesses now operate through a single platform and system. The company also reported a 45% year-on-year improvement in operator productivity following the integration, supported by its unified platform and AI-powered tools.
