KG (own abbreviation: BLG LOGISTICS ) with the listed general partner Bremer Lagerhaus-Gesellschaft -Aktiengesellschaft von 1877- is an international seaport and logistics company based in Bremen . The automotive , contract and container operating divisions offer services for automotive, industrial and commercial customers. The group has more than 100 offices in Europe , North and South America , Asia and Africa . BLG Logistics is the third largest employer in Bremen with around 6,000 employees at its headquarters.

Company history

1877 to 1933

In February 1877, 65 merchants founded the Bremer Lagerhaus-Gesellschaft - Aktiengesellschaft von 1877 (BLG). A key factor in this was the desire of Bremen's cotton traders for an improved warehouse and trading infrastructure, including the ability to issue order warehouse receipts and warrants . The business was limited to handling and storage ; the transport of goods was not one of them. The first five own warehouses went into operation in 1878 on the left of the Weser in the security harbor - commonly known as the Hohentorshafen since around 1900 . BLG itself ensured the early connection to the railway network . In the first decade of operation, the company primarily stored grain and pulses , lard , bacon and pork , tobacco , cotton, sheep's wool and coffee .

In 1888 BLG expanded its activities to include the new Europahafen ( Freihafen I ) on the right of the Weser, which was designed as a free port after the Bremen customs connection (October 1888) ; the corresponding operating leasing agreement between Bremen and BLG dates from May 1888. BLG had a decisive influence on the development of the port facilities on the right bank of the Weser up to the First World War . When it was completed in 1906, it also became active in Freihafen II , and the operating leasing contract was adapted accordingly. In addition, she operated the grain transport facility from 1897 . In 1929 she took over the Weserbahnhof . In response to the effects of the global economic crisis , BLG introduced the so-called Krümpersystem at the beginning of April 1932, which was intended to prevent workers from becoming unemployed by changing leaves of absence. The system remained in effect until the end of April 1935.

1933 to 1945

In the course of the “seizure of power” in Bremen , Kurt Dronke, long-time chairman of the board, a member of the parliamentary group of the German State Party in the Bremen citizenship , was forced out of office in April 1933. His successor became an NSDAP member. Carl Krüger, who had been a member of the board since 1931, had a similar experience: under political pressure, he asked for a six-month vacation in September 1933, and on May 31, 1934 he retired. On the basis of National Socialist legislation, all non-permanent workers in the port were also employed by a general port company (in Bremen since June 25, 1934: Hafenbetriebsverein in Bremen eV ). This assigned workers to the port operations, including BLG. After the beginning of the Second World War , these workers also included foreign workers , prisoners of war , Eastern workers , as well as temporarily prisoners and concentration camp prisoners . At the beginning of January 1941, a fire caused by incendiary bombs devastated the BLG administration building. Up until the end of the war, high explosive and incendiary bombs destroyed a large part of the port and its facilities (warehouses, storage facilities , sheds, cranes, hydraulic equipment, tracks, lines, grain plant, Weserbahn station, etc.).

1945 to 1998

On September 17, 1945, the authorities in the American occupation zone fired ten BLG executives . The company received re-authorization for business activities on November 29, 1945. With the ongoing repairs to the port, the activities of BLG revived. Initially, the business concentrated primarily on the overseas port . Then it was about the repair of the European port . In 1951 the Weserbahnhof resumed operations. In the first half of the 1950s, the cold store at the Holz- und Fabrikenhafen also began to operate .

From mid-1953, BLG also directed the ports of Bremerhaven . This affected the Kaiserhafen , the Columbuskaje , the New Harbor and the connecting port . The north port was added later. In 1959, the city of Bremen and BLG signed an operating agreement. In it it was regulated that the city holds the majority of the shares. In 1961 the company moved into the newly built high-rise harbor at the head of the Überseehafen . Two years later, the city of Bremen and BLG signed an agreement that enabled the company to borrow funds on the capital market for extended tasks . In this way it financed the considerable expenses for the construction and operation of the Neustädter Hafen (operation from 1965/1966) and for the construction and operation of the container terminal in Bremerhaven (construction from 1968; operation from 1971). As early as 1966, the first container ship to appear in Europe , the Fairland , moored in the overseas port . The first container bridge went into service on October 1st, 1966 in Neustädter Hafen . Since 1967 there was also a provisional facility for RoRo ships in this port ; At the end of 1973 one was permanently available in the Europahafen .

Bremerhaven has been called at by LASH mother ships on schedule since 1970 . From February 1974 a floating barge berth was available at the head of the Überseehafen . In 1979 BLG took over the Kap Horn transshipment facility with access to the Weser and the industrial port from the Anker Schiffahrtsgesellschaft . In the same year, the RoRo system in Neustädter Hafen was ready for operation.

In the 1980s, BLG took part in the booming container business, which transformed the entire port industry and led, particularly in Bremerhaven, to the expansion of the terminal in several stages. The tough competition, however, put pressure on margins , including at BLG. The recession of the world economy in the early 1980s led to layoffs of BLG employees in the industrial and commercial sector. Through business contacts with Volkswagen and later with Daimler-Benz , the company began with logistics services for the automotive industry and improved its value creation , first by distributing supplier material to the German plants, then by semi knocked down and completely knocked down . Since 1980, BLG has also taken over logistics services with improved added value for Minolta .

Overcoming the real socialist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe at the end of the 1980s / beginning of the 1990s resulted in significant cargo losses for BLG in conventional business. The company got into crisis.

Since 1998

The company then realigned itself. The goal was to change from a local port company to an international logistics group, says Detthold Aden , who drove this change as CEO from 1999 to 2013. From 1998 the organizational structure was completely redrafted: The BLG Group was created with Bremer Lagerhaus-Gesellschaft - Aktiengesellschaft von 1877 - as general partner and the new BLG Logistics Group AG & Co. KG as limited partner . As a holding company , the KG focused on the strategic direction and development of the group. Since then, a number of individual companies and holdings have been working under their roof on an entrepreneurial basis. They are assigned to the three operative business areas Automobile , Contract and Container .

In 1999 the container business was merged with the Hamburg Eurokai to form Eurogate . This joint venture now has container terminals on the North Sea , the Atlantic , the Mediterranean and the Baltic Sea . Furthermore, EUR gate involved in several inland terminals and railway transport companies.

In 2002 BLG Logistics took over the entire contract logistics of Paul Günther Logistik AG (Hamburg) and thus obtained logistics locations in East Germany. It also took over 50 percent of the shares in EH Harms Automobile Logistics , which is active in the automobile forwarding business in Bremen and Bremerhaven . In 2009, the company increased its stake here to 94 percent. In 2002 the headquarters of BLG Logistics moved into a new building next to the former American Consulate General and, since 2006, also into this historic building.

In 2003, the high-bay warehouse began operating at the Bremen freight center . Since then , BLG Logistics has been responsible for the storage and Europe-wide distribution in branches and regional distribution centers for the customer Tchibo , and from 2011 also for order picking in the online business .

In 2008, the company acquired half of the shares in CTL Car Transport Logistics GmbH in order to strengthen its own logistics capabilities for transporting cars by rail . This company was renamed and became BLG AutoRail GmbH . By 2017, it had expanded its stock of car transport wagons to around 1500 units.

The Contract division began building up the fashion logistics division in 2015 .

In 2016, the company expanded its forwarding capacities by taking over Fortagroup , and in 2017 by taking over Kitzinger & Co. and their daughter Arno Rosenlöcher .
