Brake (D) \/ Barcelona (ES)
\nDie L.I.T.-Group is expanding: The north German logistics service provider opened its first branch in Spain on May 1 2021. From their new office in Barcelona, not far from the international seaport, a three-person team will now be dealing with export and import orders for the Iberian Peninsula. Initially, the business will concentrate on the air and sea freight sector, as well as overland shipments in the automotive and food sectors. In the long term, the company wants to broaden its offer and tap into other industrial sectors. Having the connection in southern Europe is also expected to expand the network for international intermodal transports.<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cBarcelona was the clear winner in the search for a location for the new Spanish L.I.T. branch: With the country\u2019s second-largest container port and its surrounding local automotive industry, the metropolis offers us an ideal environment\u201d, says Simeon Breuer, Managing Director of L.I.T. Speditions GmbH and Board Member of L.I.T. AG. The logistics company from Brake, Lower Saxony, has been handling Spanish import and export enquiries from the Catalonian capital since the beginning of May. At present, most of the enquiries from the automotive and food sectors have been for sea and air freight transports, but this is expected to be extended to road shipments by truck in the near future. Previously, L.I.T. had collaborated with partner companies on these types of order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The fifteenth foreign branch of L.I.T. had been planned since 2019, but the Covid crisis delayed the whole process. \u201cJust the recruitment of the team took three to four times longer than usual. But now we have found a top-class team and even the pandemic is gradually losing importance for our industry\u201d, reports Breuer. Three employees from Sales and Business Development are responsible for the Spanish business \u2013 supported by the German headquarters, led by Michael Borowski, Operations Manager of L.I.T. Air & Sea GmbH.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cHere, L.I.T.\u2019s philosophy to speak the customer\u2019s language applies literally, because the Spanish market operates in a different way from the German one\u201d, as Breuer explains. Not only are the processes with the shipping companies and port operators different, the competitive market is also set up differently: \u201cWhereas in Germany you are very much dealing with big players among your competitors, the Spanish market is rather fragmented \u2013 but that is precisely where we see our opportunity.\u201d Having your own staff on site and mastery of the local language are a great advantage here.<\/p>\r\n\r\nThe self-declared aim of the new branch is to create a stable customer base.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
