Lobster crate rental (Logtek)

(Available in North America only)

 

Brief history

In 1998, Logtek began efforts to establish a rental pool of lobster crates. A trial was conducted in December 1998 with a lobster dealer in the state of Massachusetts. The advantages of plastic crates over the existing wooden variety were recognized almost immediately by those who were willing to give them a try. The testing went well and the official launch of the business took place in early 1999.

Since then the business has evolved into today's substantial enterprise. Logtek has 13 established depots where customers can access lobster crates: four in the US state of Maine and the rest in Canada (three in Nova Scotia, four in New Brunswick, one in Prince Edward Island and one in the Madeleine Islands). Our customer base is mostly in the north-eastern United States and on the East Coast of Canada.
