Adolf Lamprecht

On January 1, 1945, Adolf Lamprecht created Lamprecht Transport.

This event firmly established the capability and future of Lamprecht Transport.

Over 70 Years of Lamprecht History
Many of the films you are about to see that are a part of the Lamprecht Museum were created by American Lamprecht Employees on their own time. These individuals are non-professionals in the film industry with no prior experience in filmmaking. What you are about to experience is a testament to the company’s goodwill by its employees. In its essence, it is a gift from American Lamprecht to the Lamprecht Museum. Hope you enjoy!
The Boy from Basel is a story about a 17-year-old boy’s accent in a company from moving boxes in a warehouse to becoming president and member of the board of directors in a growing company. A celebration was held honoring 40 years with American Lamprecht, … 48 Years with the Lamprecht Transport World Wide Organization, and his birthday. Congratulations Hans Peter Widmer.
