Customs software specialist Conex has created Conex GmbH in Saarbrücken as part of an expansion of its European network. The German subsidiary gives the company a local presence for the German-speaking market and takes the number of European countries covered by its solutions to ten.
The launch comes as EU customs reform and digital procedures reshape how importers and exporters manage compliance. Conex says its shared application foundation can be adapted to each country’s operational and regulatory requirements, allowing businesses to coordinate activity across several markets.
Its AI agents are also being deployed in Germany. They automate tariff classification and extract information from commercial and logistics documents used to prepare customs formalities. The objective is to reduce repetitive manual work and improve the reliability of customs data. Details of the technology are available from Conex.
The development is particularly relevant to UK companies trading with Germany and other European markets. These businesses can use the same Conex environment for a wider range of operations while retaining access to country-specific expertise. Conex has been established in the UK for ten years and also has subsidiaries in Belgium, Ireland and Denmark. Its network covers Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway.
Conex Group president Bertrand Gruson said the German operation would combine the company’s more than 40 years of experience with technology designed to simplify and secure customs flows. Paul Grobler, responsible for international development in the UK and Ireland, said the new presence would strengthen support for British businesses dealing with multiple customs environments.
