LCB1 Group Celebrates 30 Years of Partnership and Sustainability

…Under the theme “Trusted Partner, Trusted Port,” Reaffirming Strong Collaboration with All Stakeholders in Driving Thailand’s Economy Forward…

LCB1 Group, a leading provider of terminal and logistics services at Laem Chabang Port, Thailand’s primary deep-sea gateway and one of the busiest container ports in Southeast Asia, celebrated its 30th anniversary with a grand event marking three decades of trust, collaboration, and commitment. The celebration highlighted the Group’s significant contributions to strengthening Thailand’s economy and trade, both regionally and globally.

Over the past three decades, LCB1 Group, comprising LCB Container Terminal 1 Ltd. and LCMT Company Limited, has played a vital role in supporting Thailand’s industrial sector, exporters, and global shipping lines, enabling them to operate with greater efficiency and continuity. LCB1 collaborates closely with the Port Authority of Thailand (PAT) and key government agencies, including the Customs Department and the Marine Department, to ensure a seamless logistics process from port to destination.

Mr. Kaare Spange, Chief Executive Officer of LCB1 Group, said, “Over the past 30 years, what we take the greatest pride in is not only the sustainable success of our business, but also the trust and collaboration we’ve built with all our partners and stakeholders. We operate with transparency, mutual respect, and a deep commitment to trust, the core value that defines our organization. We are fortunate to have the strong backing of our world-class shareholders, PSA and APM Terminals, whose support has helped elevate our terminal operations to global standards. At the same time, under the leadership of Bangkok Modern Terminal Ltd., we have proudly maintained our Thai identity. Today, more than 98% of our workforce are Thai nationals, many of whom have been with us for over 20 years, a true testament to the stability and loyalty that define our team.”

“I believe that our people are the heart of the organization. The loyalty and dedication of our team are the driving forces that have brought us to where we are today. We take great pride in the unity of the LCB1 Group team, many of whom have been with us for years, passing down their expertise from generation to generation. This truly reflects our strong, warm, and empowering corporate culture,” Mr. Kaare Spange added.

LCB1 Group proudly serves two key customer segments, each with distinct priorities. For main line operators (MLOs) calling at Laem Chabang, reliability, productivity, and digital readiness are at the heart of our operations. Meanwhile, regional intra-Asia carriers value our unmatched flexibility, enabling them to adapt quickly in a fast-moving market. At LCB1, we continuously embrace innovation to elevate efficiency and speed in cargo handling and transportation. Our commitment goes beyond operations. We strive to support our customers through every challenge, ensuring their container shipments move seamlessly and without interruption.

Beyond its business success, LCB1 Group places a strong emphasis on sustainable development, most notably through the introduction of hybrid rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes, which reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 70 percent per unit. This transition from fossil fuel–powered equipment to clean energy alternatives underscores the Group’s commitment to greener port operations. At the same time, LCB1 continues to engage in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, such as donation drives in partnership with the Port Authority of Thailand (PAT), supporting local schools, and creating employment opportunities for nearby communities, all aimed at enhancing quality of life in a sustainable way.

“LCB1 Group is deeply committed to sustainable business practices, in line with the policies of the Port Authority of Thailand and the Thai government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote a green economy. We firmly believe that continued collaboration between the public and private sectors is key to achieving long-term, sustainable growth,” Mr. Kaare Spange concluded.

As LCB1 Group celebrates its 30th anniversary, the company remains firmly focused on the future, strengthening partnerships across all sectors, continuing to invest in digital technologies and clean energy, and developing the potential of Thai talent. These efforts reinforce LCB1’s position as a “Trusted Partner”, dedicated to driving Thailand’s economic and trade growth for decades to come.
