What Lubbers Logistics Group does

Lubbers Logistics Group is a Netherlands-headquartered, privately held European road-transport and project-logistics provider founded in 1929, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AIT Worldwide Logistics since November 2023. The company runs a fleet of 130+ trucks and 330 trailers across 10 European locations in the Netherlands, UK, Denmark, Germany, Romania, Italy, Norway, and Turkey, and holds an unusually broad compliance stack including ISO certifications, Authorized Economic Operator status, TAPA, NEN 44001, VCU, DNV 2.7-1 for offshore containers, and ADR certification across all nine classes of dangerous goods.

The company generates revenue through three core service lines: Road Transport (full truckload, less-than-truckload/groupage consolidation, hotshot expedited, and dangerous goods transport); Project Services (rig moves, pipeline logistics, route surveys, transport pilot cars, offshore container rentals, wind-decommissioning services, customs clearance, and consultancy); and Manpower Services delivered through the Lubbers@Work subsidiary, providing temporary staffing and secondment for energy, logistics, and industrial sectors. Revenue is project-quoted and transaction- or professional-services-based, with no public pricing tiers.

Lubbers serves six enterprise verticals — Aerospace, Energy, Marine, Chemicals, Industrial, and Technology — targeting customers with complex, oversized, hazardous, or time-critical cargo requirements. The go-to-market is direct sales via dedicated customer-service and project-services teams, augmented by referrals and global lane opportunities through parent AIT Worldwide Logistics' network. The CEO is Ger Engelsman.
