With its niched focus and specialist competence in handling non-palleted and lightly wrapped furniture, LGT deliver high customer value with its industry-leading service with low damage rates. The group serves a wide range of customers including furniture brands, design houses, manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers as well as international partners.

A minor part of the group’s operations involves third-party logistics solutions serving several sectors with transport, handling, and warehousing solutions.
“Being a pan-Nordic market leader in this well-defined business service niche, together with clear value creation levers, made LGT match well with our investment strategy when Litorina invested in 2015”, says Kristian Holmström, Partner at Litorina Capital Advisors AB, investment advisor to the fund Litorina IV. “It has been rewarding to work with LGT during these years and management’s commitment and ability to deliver on the set financial targets have been impressive. We wish the entire team the best of luck in the NTG family and we are confident that LGT, with its solid and unique platform, will continue to thrive and prosper in that environment”.
“This marks an exciting milestone for LGT”, says John Riis, Managing Director of LGT Denmark. “LGT fits perfectly into the decentralised structure of NTG. By joining forces with NTG, we will continue to operate on a stand-alone basis, but with the support from a multinational freight forwarder. It has been a close and valuable cooperation together with the Litorina team and I’m now looking forward to continuing developing LGT within NTG”.
