Luxport Group

What Luxport Group does

Luxport Group operates Luxembourg's only inland port at Mertert, a tri-border logistics hub on the Moselle River with access to major European waterways. Founded in 1972 and structured as a Société Anonyme (S.A.) under Luxembourg law (RCS B42132), the group is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or funding rounds. It operates through four wholly-owned subsidiaries—Lorang S.A. (logistics solutions), ThesiLux S.A. (sandblasting and coating), MMS/MoselContainerLine (container solutions), and TCT (terminal operations)—with the Mertert headquarters as the core asset and additional operations support in Trier, Germany and Metz, France. Headcount is reported in the 101–250 range.

The platform is built around a trimodal physical infrastructure: 25 km of internal rail network, 5 km of internal road network, 150,000 m² of open storage (Freilager), a 20,000 m² container terminal, a 15,000 m² logistics terminal, 2,800 high-bay warehouse spaces, 12 cranes with lifting capacities from 12 to 124 tons, and a fleet of 120 tractor units. Service lines span direct ship-to-truck and ship-to-rail transfer, bulk commodity handling (sand, minerals, fertilizers, fuels, construction materials), steel and metal scrap logistics, heavy-lift and project cargo (including wind turbine concrete elements), and scheduled container line services through MCL. The differentiation is the ability to execute cross-modal transfer without intermediate storage at a single inland port facility with deepwater barge access—a combination that is unique within Luxembourg.

Revenue mechanics are conventional B2B logistics: project-based and volume-based pricing for terminal handling, transshipment, storage, transport, and ancillary industrial services (welding, blasting, coating). Public pricing is not disclosed. Customers are concentrated in four segments—industrial/construction, steel and metal, heavy lift and project cargo, and container logistics—served through direct sales relationships. The company markets primarily through industry events and earned media (RTL coverage, Truck Grand Prix job fairs) rather than digital channels, and has no mobile app, public API, or disclosed digital product surface. No patents, certifications, or regulatory actions are on record.
