Duisburg/Hamburg, 22 August 2013 – LEHNKERING Chemical Transport GmbH (LCT) opened a new business location in Hamburg in August. The logistics service provider is using this development to reinforce its business activities for the chemical and petrochemical industry in northern Germany. The company now has a network of twelve business locations in Europe, including Hamburg. LCT, which is part of the Road Logistics division at LEHNKERING GmbH, has been able to register continual strong growth over the last few years. “We’re continuing our expansion course with this new business location. We’re firstly reinforcing our proximity to our existing customers in northern Germany and, secondly, we’re strengthening our position with regard to potential customers in the chemical and petrochemical industries in the region to a significant degree. Hamburg is an excellent base for LCT in order to be able to offer our specialized service and transport operations for these companies too,” said Steffen Bauer, Managing Director of LEHNKERING Chemical Transport GmbH. Equipment will be stationed at the Hamburg business location on a permanent basis to meet customer requirements. “This way, we can shorten the routes and shipping times for our transport services. This brings benefits for our customers and also eases the pressure on the environment and resources – so that we can provide economical and ecological transport operations,” Hans-Ulrich Höfler added; he is the LCT customer service manager for the northern German region.
