What began in a small office in Berlin, Germany, on May 4, 2000, has blossomed into a global force for supply chain optimization. Founded by five ambitious individuals, including current CEO Kai Althoff, 4flow was born from a bold vision: to set new global standards in designing and optimizing corporate networks. The mission was clear – to assist global leaders in refining their supply chain networks through customized services and cutting-edge digital solutions. This pioneering spirit, which was present from the very beginning, has been the driving force behind the company's remarkable journey. From that initial team of five, 4flow has grown exponentially, a testament to the trust and confidence bestowed upon them by their clients. Today, the company boasts a dedicated and talented global team of over 1,300 employees, a diverse group representing over 55 nationalities across more than 20 locations worldwide. This international presence allows 4flow to provide localized expertise and on-the-ground support for complex, international supply chain projects.
Throughout its history, 4flow has remained committed to its core principles of providing end-to-end solutions that prepare their customers' supply chains for the future. The company's integrated business model, which combines consulting, software development, and fourth-party logistics (4PL) services, has been a key factor in its sustained growth and success. This unique, cross-functional competency allows them to tackle any supply chain challenge, ensuring the highest standards of quality and innovation. Their services span a wide range of industries, including automotive, consumer goods, retail, and renewable energy. As 4flow looks to the future, its 2030 vision is to become the global leader in supply chain digitalization. This involves delivering intelligent, AI-enabled solutions and collaborating with world-class teams to create sustainable value for their clients, making a positive and lasting impact on the environment and society as a whole. The journey that started with a handful of visionaries continues to evolve, driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence and a deep-seated passion for making supply chains better.
