Blue skies, Mediterranean flair—and plenty of action in between: L.I.T. has been operating on the Iberian Peninsula since June 2024 with great commitment, clear focus, and strong team spirit. With two locations in northeastern Spain, our colleagues are building a dynamic logistics operation.
The small team at L.I.T. Iberian Forwarding S.R.L. in Tarragona, consisting of Marc Guery and Munny Martin, specializes in ISO tank and container transport. Under the leadership of Oscar Verdu, they leverage their strengths daily to ensure seamless, reliable, and fully integrated logistics processes for customers across Spain, Portugal, France, and beyond.
Marc Guery is the organizational backbone of the operation, maintaining a balanced relationship between customers, service providers, and internal systems. »Our target group includes tank and container operators, leasing companies, petrochemical producers and traders, as well as food manufacturers,« summarizes Guery. Munni Martin, the youngest member of the team, complements this structure perfectly: she acts as the central contact point for numerous Spain-based service providers and coordinates customer-specific inquiries. Oscar Verdu, as Managing Director, closes the loop by bridging office administration, client interactions, and strategic communication with business partners and the headquarters in Brake.
In its first year of operations, the focus was on establishing a reliable network for ISO tank transports across the Iberian Peninsula and beyond. Container logistics now complements this offering, allowing for a broader range of customer solutions and improved operational flexibility. A key priority is intermodal transport – combining different modes of transport whenever possible. Whether by truck, rail, or short-sea shipping, the most sustainable and cost-efficient solution is always selected for the customer. Typical routes such as Valencia–Madrid, Antwerp–Barcelona, or Algeciras–Valencia demonstrate the versatility and scalability of the network. Transported goods include bourbon, olive oil, wine, poly-olefins, and other petrochemical and food-grade products loaded in ISO tanks and shipped internationally, ensuring both safety and traceability.
Current conditions, as in many industries, are challenging. »The global economy presents constant challenges. Events such as geopolitical tensions, U.S. tariffs, or strikes have direct impacts on our customers – and thus on us,« says Oscar Verdu, describing the daily market challenges that he and his team have successfully navigated. Despite these external pressures, the Tarragona team has already reached its first milestone: »In our first year, we reached the break-even point. Our focus now is on sustainable growth, expanding our service offerings, and strengthening international customer relationships,« Verdu explains, outlining the strategic vision and next objectives.
Part of this strategy is enhancing collaboration with other L.I.T. locations. »We aim to expand our container logistics capacities and integrate intermodal transports as a central part of our operations. Shipments from India to Barcelona via sea and then by rail are already being coordinated, and similar models are planned with our hubs in Turkey and other key markets. Regular communication and joint planning between branches ensures seam-less execution, reduces transit times, and maximizes efficiency. Cross-selling, knowledge transfer, and shared technology platforms must become part of everyday work to provide our customers with the best possible service,« Verdu continues. Continuous coordination ensures that all teams work together – even across borders.
Alongside strengthening international collaboration, another key focus lies in consolidating Spain as a domestic transport market. »The local market holds enormous potential, and we see significant opportunities in building our own structures,« explains Oscar Verdu. To achieve this, cooperation with the sister company L.I.T. Transport & Logistics S.L., based in Zaragoza, is being significantly intensified.
From its location at PLAZA – Europe’s largest logistics platform – the company operates at the heart of Spain’s economic centers. The Zaragoza office offers a wide range of services, including full and partial load transport, distribution solutions, industry-specific concepts (e.g., for wood, steel, food, and textiles), as well as specialized equipment for individual customer requirements. National and international transport is carried out both with in-house resources and through long-standing partnerships, ensuring flexibility and reliability.
The team currently consists of seven experienced professionals. Under the leadership of Javier López, the operations department with four staff members manages daily transport flows. David Zamora drives business development, focusing on acquiring new customers and expanding existing business. Pilar Ros plays a key role in her dual function as administration and project manager, ensuring smooth processes. »Her local know-how and operational expertise are critical to us. By consistently leveraging our strengths, we aim to offer integrated services across both branches,« emphasizes Verdu. Regular cross-training and team workshops ensure knowledge transfer and prepare the staff for handling complex, high-volume projects.
The strategic goal from autumn 2025 is clear: to provide customers with a comprehensive service portfolio that combines international reach with strong domestic execution. What started with a small team on the Iberian Peninsula is gradually evolving into a significant part of the international L.I.T. network. The combination of customer proximity, intermodal expertise, and strong personal commitment makes the Zaragoza location a true asset – for the region, the network, and the entire corporate group. Looking ahead, Verdu envisions expansion into additional Spanish regions and southern Europe, further integrating Iberia into the L.I.T. global supply chain and increasing the resilience and efficiency of international operations.
