Lecitrailer

What Lecitrailer does

Lecitrailer S.A. is a privately held Spanish manufacturer of semi-trailers and trailers, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Casetas (Zaragoza). It produces curtainsiders and semicurtainsiders, reefers, dry freight vans, container carrier chassis, platforms, tippers, dolly trailers, rigids, and special/tailor-made vehicles (including gooseneck and low beds), with vertical integration in panel production and reefer bodies through its subsidiary Ega Lecitrailer (acquired 2012). The company's technical differentiators include the largest KTL cataphoretic coating plant in Europe for corrosion protection, a three-column robotic welding installation at the Zaragoza factory, and purpose-built multimodal transport solutions such as the P400 for road-rail-sea operations and the Eco Frigo electric reefer co-developed with Valx and Carrier.

The firm sells primarily through a direct sales force in Spain and an authorized dealer and distributor network across Europe (Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Italy, France, Portugal, UK, Sweden, Norway, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Switzerland) and North Africa (Morocco, Algeria), with 57% of production exported. Revenue is generated across five streams: new vehicle sales, used vehicle sales, LeciRent rental subscriptions, LT Store spare-parts transactions, and professional after-sales service. Lecitrailer operates 7 company-owned after-sales service bases spanning Spain, France, and Portugal totaling more than 500,000 m2, which it describes as unique in Europe for serving both its own vehicles and competitor brands, alongside sub-brands Lecitrailer Defence, LeciRent, and the LT Store B2B e-commerce platform for spare parts.
