After looking at the past, LHG turns its
attention to the future. “The characteristics
of the founding generation,
which were the central theme 75
years ago during the foundation of
LHG through the city, mercantile
community and the Lübeck-Büchener
railway company are still desired,”
chairman of the supervisory board
of LHG Björn Engholm remarks:
“In the wake of the global financial
market crisis with its enormous impact
on real economy, management
and the employees of the port company
are required, according to hanseatic
tradition, to demonstrate the
highest degree of foresight, courage,
sense of responsibility and business
sense. Sophisticated logistics services
and innovative solutions for the
handling of goods secure the port’s
future – the aorta of the Hanseatic
city Lübeck. Refining this range of
services and tailor them precisely to
our customers – that is the port’s future,
the nucleus of the Hanse-Spirits.“
The managing directors Hans-Gerd
Gieleßen and Heinrich Beckmann add:
“Constant adjustment of the market
and innovation made us strong. This
will also guide future action. All of
Both port locations Lübeck and
Hamburg are internationally known
for their logistical service quality,
innovation, reliability and the wellestablished
transport connections.
This largely results from the successful
work of Port of Hamburg
Marketing e.V. (HHM). HHM
promotes the general welfare of
both, port locations and the entire
region, with its variety of activities
at home and abroad, primarily
through the strengthening of its
competitive position. Joint events
and the numerous activities of
HHM representative offices allow
for close contact of everyone who
is involved in the transport chain
and combine the marketing forces
in a meaningful way.
