Our story
From a single warehouse to 16 distribution centres
Growth came from responding to increasingly complex supply chain needs — one customer relationship at a time. Each new market and service line was added because existing customers asked us to follow them.

Team spirit doesn't scale by accident
We invest in the human side as deliberately as in infrastructure: HOPI Cup cycling event, family days, the annual Christmas concert, and support for colleagues from Ukraine. Many of our country managers started on the warehouse floor.
Sustainable Logistics Solution
Responsible operations, in numbers
EU co-financed projects on energy efficiency, fleet renewal, and photovoltaic installations. Sustainability isn't separated from operations — it's built into how we run them.
