Warrant Group has broadened its chemical supply chain services as part of a new partnership with German operator Leschaco Group.

The Port of Liverpool-based supply chain specialist has taken over the operational and commercial operations of Leschaco’s deepsea ISO tank container business in the UK with effect from the beginning of March.

Warrant Group is widely known for its expertise in the packed cargo chemical sector and the new partnership enables it to build a strong presence in the liquid chemical sector.

The two companies are both members of Eurteam, an alliance of European supply chain specialists providing services solely to the chemical sector.

Under the partnership, not only will Warrant Group handle all the operational import and export requirements of Leschaco’s customers into the UK but it will also actively promote their joint capabilities to the UK’s liquid chemical sector.

Jarrad Bycroft, export director at Warrant Group, commented: “We are delighted to announce our new partnership with the Leschaco Group which offers both businesses the opportunity to grow market share in the liquid chemical supply chain sector of the UK.

“For Warrant Group it’s a clear extension of our specialist chemical sector expertise and we will be talking widely with existing clients and potential new clients about the benefits of using our operations, expertise and in-depth knowledge. Warrant Group is widely known for its innovative logistics which we believe will make us a very attractive proposition as we seek to broaden our services.”

Holger Warnecke, director of the Leschaco Group, added: “We are convinced that with Warrant Group we have found a partner with which we can further develop our ISO tank container business to and from the UK. Both companies have worked together successfully for many years in the freight forwarding sector, and this provides a firm footing for future growth within the UK ISO tank container market.”
