We reinvent how industry moves
About Our US Journey
LOTS operates globally and we launched our US operations 2022 through the acquisition of Bellwether Forest Products, a forestry business with operations in harvesting, transportation, timber brokerage and commercial vehicle maintenance.
Under the leadership of Matt Moldenhauer, past president of Bellwether Forest Products, we've rapidly expanded our footprint in the South Carolina transportation industry. Today, we deliver over 25,000 truckloads annually. As we move forward we are excited to be building diversified logistics operations to be applied inside, and outside, of forestry

LOTS Group was started to meet the challenges facing Transport tomorrow. Digitalization, connectivity and automation are changing the game with new demands on efficiency and integration of supply chains. This calls for a new mindset focused on providing transport solutions, rather than simply delivering a vehicle.
Pioneers in the industry
LOTS pioneers the use of new technology while implementing lean working methods in an industry where this approach has previously been lacking. We aim to enable our partners to transition to the electric and autonomous future of tomorrow.
