The LBH Group, which operates in 24 countries, serves as an international port agency and manages vessels in various sectors, including bulk cargo, liquid cargo, containers, and breakbulk. The acquisition of shares from the Lagendijk family represents a strategic step that has been pursued since the merger of the two companies in 2023.

This collaboration has enabled both companies to enhance their capabilities and develop more comprehensive service offerings. Customers benefit from tailored solutions that address challenges in the global supply chain.
The complete acquisition of the LBH Group underscores the strategic growth strategy of the Rhenus Group in international trade. The company plans to further expand its network and increase the efficiency of supply chains worldwide. Under the new ownership, the LBH Group will continue to operate under its established brand and maintain its market presence as well as its recognized service quality.
The Rhenus Group emphasizes that the acquisition highlights the importance of reliable partnerships that support the company’s growth trajectory. The vision of expanding global logistics activities as a unified international team remains a central goal of the Rhenus Group.
