First location in Barcelona
The North Germany-based L.I.T. group opened its first location in Spain on 1 May 2021. From the new office in Barcelona close to the international seaport, a team of three employees handle export and import orders covering the Iberian Peninsula.
Initially, the business will focus on air and sea freight as well as overland transport services for the automotive and food industry. In a next step, the company plans to expand its footprint into more industrial sectors and add southern Europe to its intermodal network.
"Barcelona came a clear first in our search for our new Spanish location: the country's second largest container port surrounded by the local automotive industry, the metropolis is an ideal position for us," says Simeon Breuer, managing director of L.I.T Spedition.
The company intended to set up its now fifteenth foreign office already back in 2019, but the corona crisis delayed the plans. (sh)
