LogBATT GmbH was founded in 2017. The two previous sole shareholders, Philipp Helmle
and Eduard Schönmeier, have many years of expertise in the development of solutions
in the field of lithium-ion battery logistics, especially in the automotive industry.
With LogBATT, they have specialised in the total solution of lithium-ion battery
logistics in order to be able to offer their customers unique and professional solutions
across the complete battery supply chain in Europe.

Another special feature is the transport and storage containers developed in-house
in various sizes for batteries, modules and cells. These are not only suitable for
the transport and storage of new batteries, but can also be used in particular for
critically defective or damaged batteries. These boxes were developed in accordance
with the latest dangerous goods regulations of ADR 2023 and are certified by the
Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM).

The transport and storage of lithium-ion batteries is considered dangerous goods.
This is an area in which Lagermax Logistics Austria GmbH has had a high level of
expertise for many decades.

“With the dense European network of Lagermax as well as competence in the field 
of disposal logistics and recycling, LogBATT GmbH has an ideal environment to further
develop this fast-growing business area beyond the national borders,” says Managing
Director Philipp Helmle.

With its business segments Lagermax Logistics, Autologistik and AED Alltime Express
Distribution, the Lagermax Group serves many OEMs and customers in the automotive
industry in both procurement and distribution logistics. This makes the investment
in LogBATT an ideal addition and rounding off of the logistics portfolio. “The best
prerequisites for continuing the expansion strategy and positioning ourselves as
the leading provider of battery logistics in Europe,” explains Alexander Friesz,
CEO of Lagermax Group. “We see a lot of synergies with Lagermax and have taken a
big step towards our vision of being Europe’s largest logistics provider for lithium-
ion batteries through this strategic partnership,” adds Eduard Schönmeier.

The two previous shareholders Philipp Helmle and Eduard Schönmeier continue to hold
shares and remain on board as managing directors of LogBATT GmbH for the further
development and expansion of the promising company.
