Emil Kuchenbeiser founded “ERA Short and Long Distance Transports.” The range of our services expands at the same rate as the demand for transportation services due to the post war reconstruction efforts.

Since 1949 we transport goods to Belgium, France, The Netherlands and even to Italy. This was the foundation for “ERA International Forwarding Ltd”.
