At that point, LGG was positioned eighth in Europe by tonnage. In 2024, cargo volumes had increased twofold, elevating LGG to fifth position in the rankings and solidifying its status as the leading gateway for cross-border e-commerce.

Donald Schaap, General Manager Belgium noted that “while e-commerce significantly contributed to this significant growth, Wallenborn also played a crucial role by ensuring seamless connectivity between LGG and export and import markets throughout Europe. LGG lacks a substantial local market, and our objective has been to greatly enhance and expand market accessibility for airlines and e-commerce service providers using LGG as their hub. We are the largest and most proficient provider of road transportation at LGG and we have made significant investments in personnel, fleet and technology. This culminated in 2025 with our relocation to a brand new, 18,000 square metre state-of-the art transport and logistics facility incorporates offices, secure truck parking, and flexible warehousing dedicated to e-commerce services.

Our e-commerce customers appreciate our integrated strategy, as they favour obtaining all necessary services from a single provider. Additionally, they benefit from our extensive fleet and wide-reaching network, which has consistently demonstrated our ability to rapidly scale operations and deliver to any European market.”

Given the time- and temperature-sensitive nature of these transported goods, a high degree of integration is essential between all stakeholders, including Health and Customs agencies, to ensure the integrity of each shipment is protected.

Luxembourg, 12.03.2025

Oliver Blum, the airline’s Head of Airmail, Courier & Perishables Handling, says the success of the partnership has led to Lufthansa Cargo extending its perishables contract with Wallenborn in 2025. “The decisive factors for this were the consistently high quality of operational implementation as well as the professional support for sensitive perishable shipments. The reliability of day-to-day business, the active service orientation, and the high degree of flexibility are all factors of central importance to Lufthansa Cargo and its international clientele. The latest contract extension underlines our mutual trust and forms the basis for continued successful cooperation,” he said.

An essential element of this highly successful collaboration is the close relationships Wallenborn has developed with consignors across the globe and consignees in many countries, including Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. This ensures a high degree of flexibility and resilience, especially during high seasons, product launches and promotions. This collaboration includes workshops in origin counties, telematics access for importers to increase shipment visibility, and enhanced customer service for all parties. It’s an approach which is highly valued by importers such as Konrad Skowronski, Freight Manager at Agrotropic AG in Oberhasli, Switzerland, which imports sustainably cultivated cut flowers directly from farms overseas and is renowned for its extensive selection of premium roses. For Agrotropic, the essence of cultivation lies in the enduring long-term relationships they share with farms in countries such as Ecuador, Japan, Kenya, and Sri Lanka. “We regard Wallenborn as a provider of reliable service and clear communication. Our cut flowers are always in competent hands at Wallenborn, and we always feel well-informed and well cared for,” Frank said.
