“With the joint venture and the takeover, we are playing the full range of coffee logistics and are pursuing the goal of becoming one of the most important players on the Bremen market,” says Ingo Schreiber, Managing Director of L.I.T. Cargo GmbH and CEO of L.I.T. AG.

Founded in 1897, the forwarding company Diedrich Meyer specialises in container transport and electric tipper chassis. In the area of local and long-distance transport, these were most recently illustrated with container and bulk goods transport. In addition, the fifth-generation family business in Bremen also offered the storage and unloading of overseas containers or palletised goods in open-air warehouses. “The range of services fits B-LOG 100 per cent and complements our portfolio perfectly. From now on, we will cover all coffee logistics services from a single source,” says Managing Director of B-LOG Bulk Logistik GmbH Matthias Seidel.

Due to liquidity problems caused by declining sales and payment delays as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the forwarding company Diedrich Meyer filed for insolvency in December 2020. The current 22-strong staff of Spedition Diedrich Meyer will be taken over.
