history
In 1990 the Krupp Group, today ThyssenKrupp , combined its activities in the logistics segment under nestrans Logistik GmbH . In the course of the merger with Thyssen and the concentration on its core business, the steel group sold nestrans Logistik GmbH to Imperial Holdings Ltd. on October 1, 1999 . , South Africa. This resulted in Imperial Logistics International GmbH and Co. KG , based in Duisburg, as a wholly-owned holding subsidiary. With the takeover of nestrans GmbH, Imperial also acquired further legal entities and holdings from nestrans GmbH. These included Panopa Verkehrs GmbH, the majority in neska Speditions- und Schiffahrtkontor GmbH, in which ThyssenKrupp held a 65 percent stake, the Bremen forwarding company JH Bachmann and a stake in the Hamburg shipbroker company Brouwer Shipping & Chartering GmbH.
In 2003, parts of the Haniel Reederei Holding GmbH were taken over , to which the inland vessels of the former Krupp inland shipping have also belonged since 1999. In 2004 the company renamed Imperial Logistics International GmbH .
With effect from June 1, 2005, the contract logistics division of the Gillhuber Group, which today belongs to the Imperial Supply Chain Solutions division, was taken over. The takeover of Pohl & Co. GmbH & Co. KG and the sale of JH Bachmann GmbH followed in the same year.
In 2007 the acquisition of Laabs GmbH followed and in 2008 the majority takeover of FoodTankers AB and the Hansmann Group, Wolfsburg
In 2012, Imperial acquired the Lehnkering group of companies, Duisburg, a logistics company specializing in chemical transports that owned a fleet of road tankers and inland tankers. In the same year the company renamed Imperial Logistics International BV & Co. KG. As of March 31, 2016, Lehnkering was renamed Imperial Chemical Logistics GmbH as part of the standardization of the Imperial brand identity. As part of this bundling of various sub-brands under the umbrella brand Imperial Logistics International as well as a restructuring of the group, all legal units of the group have had the name Imperial in the legal form since 2016.
At the end of 2015, the company took over the Dutch chemical logistics company Van den Anker, which was also incorporated into the group by name on April 1, 2017. In 2016, the British express freight provider Palletways was taken over.
