LBH Group

The LBH Group was founded in 1984 in the port Rotterdam. From the first office in Rotterdam, the LBH Group expanded by opening in South Africa to provide load port agency support to European coal clients. On this basis the group expanded by following the different bulk cargo commodity streams. This led to LBH setting up and establishing agency offices in numerous countries. Initially under different identities and brands that were all consolidated in 2008 under the LBH Group brand.

The first two decades saw significant geographic expansion into South Africa with the establishment of Tallships, Mozambique with the establishment of Caravel, Brazil by establishing Brazship, Colombia with the establishment of Eurolatina, Australia with establishment of Oceanway and by opening a representative office in China in 2002.

The group is very proud that most of the local partners, who were key pioneers in the early development of the group, are still with LBH today developing the local business units.
