The Leschaco Group has expanded its logistics infrastructure with the commissioning of a new chemical multi-purpose facility in the Bremen Industrial Park, reinforcing its capabilities in the LCL (Less than Container Load) and GCL (Global Contract Logistics) segments. The investment reflects Leschaco’s continued commitment to providing safe, efficient, and sustainable logistics solutions – particularly in the handling of hazardous materials.
The new logistics centre covers a total area of around 20,500 m² and offers over 12,000 pallet spaces in the contract logistics section, as well as 6,500additional spaces in CFS operation. An integrated container packing station, 27 loading ramps and 9,500 m² of block storage space complete the modern infrastructure for flexible logistics solutions.
It is equipped with a barcode-based warehouse management system, SOLAS VGM certification, and optimized workflows for export, import, cross docking, and storage. These features ensure high levels of process transparency, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
A key differentiator of the site is its dedicated hazardous goods infrastructure. Twelve standalone storage units outside the main building provide an additional 2,000 m² for the secure handling of chemicals and dangerous goods, including lithium-ion batteries. The facility complies with stringent WGK and LGK classifications and has been awarded the DGNB Gold certification for sustainable construction—highlighting its energy efficiency and environmental performance.
“The new distribution warehouse in Bremen is designed for dual use as a container freight station and warehouse. It represents a significant milestone for our LCL and GCL product lines,” says Sebastian Haebler, Head of Global Contract Logistics at Leschaco. “Its strategic location between the ports of Hamburg, Bremerhaven, and Wilhelmshaven, combined with our new site in Moerdijk, Netherlands, enhances supply chain flexibility and proximity to Europe’s key logistics corridors.”
Kai Chladek, Head of Global Product Management LCL, adds: “This facility significantly enhances our LCL service offering, particularly for hazardous cargo. With its advanced infrastructure and integration into our global network, we are well-positioned to deliver reliable, compliant, and scalable solutions to our customers across industries.”
The new Bremen facility is part of Leschaco’s broader strategy to align infrastructure investments with evolving customer needs, regulatory requirements, and sustainability goals – ensuring long-term competitiveness in the global logistics landscape.
