LEHNKERING expands portfolio
(firmenpresse) - LEHNKERING Road Logistics starts transporting liquid gas
Duisburg/Karlshamn (Sweden), 19 November 2013 – The LEHNKERING Road Logistics division is expanding its services and has now started transporting liquid gas (Liquefied Petroleum Gas or LPG). A new company has been set up in the shape of LEHNKERING Gas Logistics AB and it will initially handle the distribution of LPG for a well-known international energy supplier in southern Sweden. A fleet of special vehicles was put into operation to handle this long-term contract.
In organisational terms LEHNKERING Gas Logistics is linked to the Swedish company FoodTankers AB, which is also part of the Road Logistics division. “FoodTankers is a service provider that specialises in foodstuffs and it wanted to make a clear distinction between the two fields,” says Tomas Petterson, Managing Director of FoodTankers and LEHNKERING Gas Logistics. “As a result, we decided to spin off the gas division into a separate company. We also know that LPG is an important growth market on which we want to increase our focus in the future.”
“LPG enables us to expand our portfolio with a new business unit and this gives us an even broader footing in the market. Our customers will benefit from the expertise available in the Road Logistics division – ranging from special services for the chemical and petrochemical industries provided by LEHNKERING Chemical Transport to Laabs and even the food transport services offered by FoodTankers,” says Steffen Bauer, Manager Chemical Transport at LEHNKERING.
LPG is a mixture of propane and butane; the liquid gas is mainly obtained when processing natural gas and crude oil. The gas being transported by LEHNKERING is mainly used for heating purposes in production processes and as a heating fuel for buildings and road construction operations (asphalt) – but also for drying seeds and to fill gas bottles for private use (camping gas). When transporting the fuel, it is necessary to keep the temperature down to at least -42 degrees Celsius. All the employees have obtained special qualifications because of the unusual equipment that is required and the demands of handling LPG properly.
