LVB

What LVB does

LVB (legal name: LVB bvba) is a privately held Belgian logistics and transport company headquartered in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium, operating across 16 European countries. The company is organized around three integrated service pillars: (i) transport services covering full-truckload (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), bulk/silo, temperature-controlled, exceptional/oversize, and multi-modal transport via road, sea, rail, and air, plus courier; (ii) a warehouse network offering storage, transshipment, packaging, and repair; and (iii) custom logistics consulting across transport, moves, customs, and warehouse optimization. Geographically, LVB serves Western Europe (Benelux, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal) and Eastern Europe (Russia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria), with sector specializations in food & beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, industrial/manufacturing, and waste management, including ADR-certified dangerous goods handling.

Operationally, LVB runs an owned fleet comprising tautliners (88m³), mega-trailers (98m³) and road-trains (120m³), fridge-trailers (88m³), and bulk/tilt-containers (60m³). The supporting technology stack consists of conventional logistics tooling: a management platform with real-time GPS track-and-trace, electronic 24-hour proof-of-delivery, and 24/7 service availability. No proprietary patents, AI/ML systems, third-party integrations, or formal certifications were disclosed, positioning the technology layer as operational rather than differentiated.

Commercially, LVB operates a direct B2B sales-led model with quote-based pricing across all service lines; revenue mechanics comprise transaction fees on transport, recurring fees on warehouse storage, and professional services fees on consulting. The company employs 101–250 people, is privately held with no disclosed funding history, no parent company, and no audited financials. Customer relationships are managed through three named single points of contact (Herman Vanoppen, Johnny Szeles, Livio Falsone) rather than a documented formal C-suite.
