“2018 was a successful year overall for the BLG Group – while challenges certainly arose, there were also many good news stories,” stated BLG CEO Frank Dreeke at the Bremen State Press Conference on Ports on December 17 in Bremen.

To a growing extent, modern seaports and inland ports are controlled by IT systems. In this context the smooth exchange of information between port stakeholders is crucial from a business perspective. Even the briefest system downtimes can give rise to substantial financial losses. Within the framework of a new project codenamed SecProPort, which has attracted a subsidy of around 2.8 million euros from the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI), an industry and research consortium is developing a security architecture to comprehensively protect port logistics against cyber attacks.

Today, the BLG Group simultaneously celebrated the opening of its second logistics center in Falkensee near Berlin and the start of operations in its new distribution center for IKEA in Elsdorf between Hamburg and Bremen.

The BLG Group has restructured its forwarding activities: It has merged the companies acquired in recent months, INFORTRA GmbH International Forwarding & Transport, Logfortra GmbH Logistic, Forwarding & Transport, Arno Rosenlöcher, and Kitzinger & Co., into a single unit. The new unit operates under the name BLG International Forwarding GmbH & Co. KG.

For its Logistics Center Bremen, BLG LOGISTICS is seeking packers (m/f) and industrial truck drivers for auto parts logistics (m/f) as from now. The 400 new jobs break down into 300 part-time and 100 full-time contracts. Most of the new employees will receive a permanent contract, while a small number will be limited to 24 months.
