Leschaco Group has launched a new chemical multi-purpose facility in Bremen Industrial Park, Germany, enhancing its hazardous materials handling and logistics services for global chemical supply chains. The 20,500-square-metre site supports LCL and GCL operations, offering importers and distributors safer, more efficient logistics solutions in Europe's key corridors.
Facility overview
The new hub provides over 12,000 pallet spaces for contract logistics and 6,500 for container freight station (CFS) operations. It includes an integrated container packing station, 27 loading ramps, and 9,500 square metres of block storage. Advanced digital tools such as a barcode-based warehouse management system and SOLAS VGM certification ensure compliance and transparency across import, export, and cross-docking activities.
Hazardous materials handling
Purpose-built for dangerous goods, the facility features twelve standalone storage units outside the main building, offering 2,000 square metres of dedicated space. These units meet strict WGK and LGK classifications and can safely handle chemicals and lithium-ion batteries. The site holds DGNB Gold certification for sustainable construction and energy efficiency.
Strategic location and network integration
Located between Hamburg, Bremerhaven, and Wilhelmshaven, the Bremen site complements Leschaco's new Moerdijk facility in the Netherlands, providing excellent access to Europe's main logistics corridors. This expansion strengthens the company's ability to serve chemical importers and distributors across the region.
What buyers should watch
Chemical buyers and logistics managers should note the enhanced LCL services for dangerous goods, which offer safer and more compliant transport options. The facility's digital systems and certifications reduce documentation risks and improve supply-chain transparency, particularly for cross-border shipments within Europe.
