A family enterprise makes history
The firm's founder, A. Lamprecht senior, backed the "right horse" in 1945. He discerned the economic recovery after the Second World War and the related, rising importance of transportation and logistics services. Over 75 years the enterprise has been gradually built up and expanded - it is now being successfully managed in the fourth generation by Jenny Vargas-Lamprecht. 75 years have so much to tell, here are the most important milestones of Lamprecht Transport Ltd.:
