• Rhenus Group successfully acquires the final 49 percent of LBH Group, achieving complete ownership
• Partnership further enhances the global maritime and port logistics network
• LBH will continue to operate under its esteemed brand, ensuring its recognized service quality

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 April 2026 – Rhenus Group has announced the successful completion of the acquisition of the remaining 49 percent stake in LBH Global Agencies Inc. LBH Group operates as a globally active port agency with locations in 24 countries worldwide. As an international maritime shipping agency, LBH Group oversees incoming and outgoing vessels that handle bulk goods, liquid cargo, containers, and general cargo. With the acquisition of the remaining shares from the Lagendijk family, LBH is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Rhenus – a strategic move that has been pursued since the two companies collaborated in 2023. Over the years, both parties have nurtured a close and trusting relationship built upon a shared vision.

Combined expertise for enhanced international customer service

The partnership between Rhenus and LBH Group was initially founded with the common goal of merging LBH’s global expertise in port agency services with Rhenus’s international logistics network. Since then, this collaboration has bolstered both companies’ capabilities, allowing for the creation of more comprehensive service offerings and supporting customers with increasingly tailored, resilient, and efficient supply chain solutions. Bringing together two highly skilled and specialized teams represents another significant milestone in Rhenus Group’s strategic growth plan in global trade, with the aim of expanding its network and strengthening supply chains worldwide.

With full ownership, LBH Group will remain a cornerstone of Rhenus’s maritime strategy. The company will continue to function under its established brand, preserving its market presence and well-regarded service quality. Driven by the vision of expanding global logistics operations as one cohesive team, this acquisition highlights the significance of dependable partnerships that continue to lead the Rhenus Group’s growth path.
