From Bremen to Tbilisi: Kopf + Lübben Delivers Lifesaving Ambulances Across Borders

Posted on | by Tamishra

The multi-country road transport required precise coordination, specialized handling, and close collaboration with medical equipment partners

Kopf & Lübben GmbH, a Coop member in Hamburg, Bremen, and Frankfurt, Germany, recently completed a complex door-to-door transport of five fully equipped Toyota Landcruiser ambulances to Tbilisi, Georgia. The airfreight export team took over to organize this shipment. While the route itself was demanding, the mission behind it made the project especially significant: delivering lifesaving medical solutions to where they are urgently needed.

Each ambulance was outfitted with advanced medical technology, and the vehicles carried critical onboard systems, including ventilators, defibrillators, patient monitors, and other emergency-response equipment designed for immediate deployment in the field.

Although airfreight would normally be the preferred mode, the team took a solution-first approach. “While we’d usually prefer cargo flying, we wanted to make sure that our client receives the best solution possible, and in this case, it was taking it on the road,” explained Adam Hoffmann, Project Manager at Kopf + Lübben.

The ambulances themselves were professionally converted by Royax, the specialist manufacturer responsible for transforming the Toyota chassis into fully functional emergency vehicles. Coordinating multiple stakeholders across borders required precise planning, reliable partners, and constant communication. What truly set this project apart was collaboration. By leveraging strong relationships with local specialists and trusted partners along the route, Kopf + Lübben ensured smooth execution from pickup to final delivery in Tbilisi.

“This project shows what’s possible when logistics expertise, local knowledge, and the right partnerships come together,” Mr. Hoffman noted. “It’s about more than transport, it’s about enabling healthcare where it matters most.”

Congratulations to Kopf + Lübben for this remarkable achievement and all the best for their future endeavours!

Kopf+ Lubben GMBH handles the transportation of a self propelled passenger stair from Moscow to Hamburg

Posted on | by admin

The Coop member in Bremen, Hamburg and Frankfurt, won this interesting project from the manufacturer of staircases in Germany

A self-propelled passenger staircase had to undergo maintenance service with a German manufacturer within the shortest possible span of time since it had technical issues during the Saudi Arabian King’s state visit to Russia. The airfreight team of Kopf + Lübben Cargo Services was in charge of this sensitive project. The colossal escalator arrived on Sunday night from Moscow on an IL-76 freighter at Hamburg airport and required special handling off the main airfield

Kopf + Lübben Cargo Services were also ordered to do the handling after maintenance had been done and successfully re-loaded the staircase after a couple of weeks. The same type of aircraft was booked to pick up the staircase in Hamburg and flew it out to Saudi Arabia.

The highly experienced airfreight team of Kopf + Lübben Cargo Services successfully discharged the staircase, arranged for customs procedures and transported the cargo to the plant. In the words of Tobias Teichmann, Manager Airfreight of Kopf & Lübben, “We made use of a special ramp to unload the elevator very carefully with the right precision down to the final millimetre. The staircase was delivered to the plant within a couple of days and maintenance work started shortly after the landing in Hamburg, thanks to the excellent job of our team members.”

The Coop congratulates Kopf & Lübben for their outstanding achievement!
