The L.I.T. Group has acquired the Gübau Group based in Wolfsburg and Velbert, retroactively effective from January 1, 2023. In addition to the two companies Gübau Logistics and Gübau Service GmbH, the subsidiary Vetra Spedition GmbH also becomes part of the Braker corporate group.
(Brake/Wolfsburg) With this acquisition, the logistics service provider is pursuing its growth strategy, strengthening its market presence in the automotive and hazardous goods sectors, and further diversifying its expertise. Martin Möhrmann will continue to serve as managing director of the Gübau Group, and all 150 employees will remain employed.
“The Gübau Group is an absolute expert in the automotive and chemical industries. Through this acquisition, we see several synergy effects in the automotive sector and a strengthening of hazardous goods competence in the Rhine/Ruhr metropolitan region,” says Simeon Breuer, managing director of L.I.T. Speditions GmbH and board member of L.I.T. AG. The brand of the logistics expert will remain intact even after the acquisition. Gübau will continue to operate as an independent entity within L.I.T. with a fleet of 40 pulling units, 35 trailers, and 150 employees.
In the past, the two corporate groups have successfully completed projects together. “Through our membership in the ELVIS freight forwarding association, we know each other well and have worked together on automotive transports. We are excited to intensify this collaboration and pool our strengths,” says Breuer.
The Gübau Group was founded 75 years ago and has its headquarters in Wolfsburg. Additionally, the traditional company has two other locations – one in Baden-Baden and one in Velbert. Its portfolio includes services in procurement and warehousing logistics, as well as distribution and IT services. Since the 1950s, Gübau Logistics has been working for a renowned automobile manufacturer.
Strong Partner for the Future
Martin Möhrmann, managing director of the Gübau Group, says: “We are convinced that we have found a strong partner for the future of our company and our employees in the L.I.T. Group. Our goal is to continue to develop successfully. With L.I.T., we have the necessary strength for that.”
