In his biography Hartmut Mehdorn justifies the acquisitions abroad with requirements of rail freight customers. An analysis had revealed in 2000 that the company's 200 most valuable customers supplied up to 60 percent of their cargo abroad. Since the core area of the railway was in Germany, they had lost customers to competitors that had been there in a better position. For an independent growth in these markets, the time was lacking.
2013 DB Schenker received the Worldstar Packaging Award from the World Packaging Organization for a particularly safe reusable transport packaging as well as the Daimler Supplier Award for contract logistics for outstanding logistics services .. Both prizes are awarded each year.
