In 1955 the company started the transit traffic between Germany and Italy . At the same time, Lamprecht gained a foothold in the other Western European countries and founded a German subsidiary in Singen. In 1965 the company opened a base in Geneva as well as in the United States.
After the death of the company's founder, Adolf Lamprecht senior, his son Adolf Lamprecht junior took over the management of the company in 1971.
