The company was founded under the name of Lexzau, Scharbau in Hamburg in 1879 by Wilhelm Lexzau and Julius Scharbau. In 1992, Jörg Conrad became the owner and active managing director of the international Leschaco Group.

Since August 2021, his children Constantin Conrad (Chief Digital Officer and Member of the Executive Board in the Leschaco Group) and Charlotte Palermo (HR Projects Manager in the Leschaco Group) have also been part owners. At the same time, Constantin Conrad was appointed Managing Director with sole power of representation.

Today the owner-managed medium-sized Company with 73 own offices and more than 2,300 employees in more than 23 countries is there for its customers worldwide. The own network is further strengthened by selected agents all over the world. We are where the industry and the trade need us.

From the Bremen headquarters our employees spread the company’s values: a sustainable orientation towards the needs of the customers, an international presence, a strong quality awareness, and high demands on the own work and on the work of the carefully selected service providers.

In our comprehensive logistics solutions from one source this is demonstrated, among other things, by the high process transparency, made possible by uniform IT frameworks worldwide.
