Logistics service provider
L.I.T. grows through takeover
The L.I.T. Group has acquired the Gübau Group, based in Wolfsburg and Velbert, with retroactive effect from January 1, 2023. In addition to the two companies Gübau Logistics and Gübau Service GmbH, the subsidiary Vetra Spedition GmbH is now also part of the Brake-based group of companies.
With the takeover, the logistics service provider is pursuing its growth strategy, strengthening its market presence in the automotive and hazardous goods sectors and further diversifying its expertise. Martin Möhrmann will remain Managing Director of the Gübau Group and all 150 employees will continue to be employed. "The Gübau Group is an absolute expert in the automotive and chemical industry. We see several synergy effects in the automotive sector and a strengthening of hazardous goods expertise in the Rhine/Ruhr metropolitan region as a result of the takeover," says Simeon Breuer, Managing Director of L.I.T. Speditions GmbH and Member of the Board of L.I.T. AG (left in the picture). The logistics expert's brand will remain even after the takeover. Gübau will remain an independent unit within L.I.T. with a fleet of 40 tractor units, 35 trailers and 150 employees.
The two groups have already successfully handled projects together in the past. "Through our membership of the ELVIS forwarding association, we know each other well and have worked together on automobile transports. We are now looking forward to intensifying this cooperation and pooling our strengths," says Breuer. The Gübau Group was founded 75 years ago and has its headquarters in Wolfsburg. The long-established company also has two other locations - one in Baden-Baden and one in Velbert. Its portfolio includes services in the areas of procurement and warehouse logistics as well as distribution and IT services. Gübau Logistics has been working for a well-known car manufacturer since the 1950s.
