Following the opening of its own branch in Valencia in April this year, a second Leschaco Iberia S.L. site in Barcelona will be available to all Spanish customers from June.

Bremen - "For Leschaco it is an important strategic step to be present in the two large industrial regions of Spain", explains CEO and owner of the Leschaco Group Jörg Conrad this development. Barcelona's geographical location is an advantage for the logistics industry. The port is connected to over 850 ports worldwide and has optimal connections to the hinterland thanks to extensive road networks and a good rail infrastructure. Barcelona-El Prat Airport is the seventh largest airport in Europe. 

Constantin Conrad, son of the owner Jörg Conrad, takes over the management of the Barcelona office. The 26-year-old first completed a dual course of study in a shipping company, where he was subsequently employed for 3 years. He then went on to complete a 2-year MBA program at IESE Business School in Barcelona, which he successfully completed in May of this year. Constantin Conrad was already involved in the Leschaco group of companies during his MBA program and was in charge of the founding of Leschaco Iberia S.L. "Leschaco is a traditional, successful and innovative family business. Our company will remain in family hands in the future and therefore I am pleased that my son Constantin will now take over the management of the Barcelona office and thus strengthen Leschaco Iberia", says Jörg Conrad.
