Logistics in the legendary Gold Country*
Leschaco has been represented in the Americas for decades with its own subsidiaries in Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru and the USA and continues to expand its network in a customer-oriented manner.
Colombia is one of the largest emerging markets in Latin America and offers great growth potential on all global transport routes. In December 2022, we therefore decided to integrate our local operating partner Grupo Empresarial Coltrans S.A.S - with whom we have worked closely and trustfully for over 30 years - into the Leschaco network.

This expansion in the Americas region is an excellent strategic fit with our existing network.
With the potential that Colombia offers, we are strengthening our business activities in one of the most attractive economies in Latin America.
With this acquisition, we are delighted not only to be present in 24 countries, but also to welcome more than 500 new employees to the Leschaco family. The branch is headquartered in Bogotá and also operates 8 other offices in the logistics strongholds of Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla, Bucaramanga, Pereira, Buenaventura, Cartagena and Ipiales.
At all locations, services are offered in the core business areas of sea and air freight, tank containers and contract logistics. A variety of value-added services and multimodal transports round off the product portfolio.
Currently we are working on the integration of the company into the Leschaco Group. The companies will remain with their company names and areas of activity. Information about the product portfolio of Grupo Empresarial Coltrans S.A.S can be found here.
