Our Legacy
From Bremen to the World
At the heart of LODEC Group’s modern operations lies a history spanning nearly two centuries—a testament to our enduring commitment to global trade and partnership. Our story begins in 1832 in the historic port city of Bremen, Germany, where Louis Delius was first established, and LODEC’s current headquarters are. Initially exporting linen to Latin America, the company quickly expanded its cargo on return voyages, bringing tobacco back to the thriving European markets.
Global Expansion and Evolution
A Unified Future
The year 2022 was a milestone for LODEC. NILO Asia & Shanghai merged fully into the Louis Delius Group. It was rebranded as LODEC Asia and LODEC Shanghai—a unification that brought even greater strength, synergy, and reach to our global network. Through this merger, our name and vision have become more cohesive than ever before, solidifying our identity as a unified German company with a strong and vibrant Asian presence.
Embracing Tradition While Driving Innovation
Throughout our evolution, we have never lost sight of what initially set us apart: our roots in Bremen, a city with a storied history of maritime trade, and our longstanding dedication to quality, reliability, and innovation. Today, LODEC Group embodies German tradition, seamlessly connected with Asia’s dynamic markets. Our heritage informs everything we do— from selecting the perfect materials to nurturing enduring partnerships worldwide.
