• The company provides innovative intermodal transport solutions, utilizing mega trailers for high-volume capacity. This has positioned the business as a leader in the transportation and logistics sector and significantly reduced emissions compared to traditional road transport.
• The business model is highly efficient, allowing a large number of trailers to run unaccompanied on the rail. This system requires fewer truck drivers, as a single driver can move multiple trailers, creating a more efficient and cost-effective operation compared to the one-driver-per-trailer model of classic road transport.
• The company carries out its operations with the help of two entities:
- One is the parent company headquartered in Italy and a Romania-based subsidiary that is 100% owned by the parent company.
- The Italy-based parent company is the face of the business, it handles all the clients, signs contracts, and employs the management.
- The Italy office has 15 team members.
- While the Romanian entity is purely for operations. It employs 95% of our total drivers and owns about 50% of the total trailers.
- The Romanian entity is like a subcontractor for us and 100% of its revenue is from the Italian parent company.
- Romanian entity employs 50 team members.
However, we just don't rely on our subsidiary and subcontract trucking operations to various other companies across Romania, Poland, Estonia, and Lithuania.
• The company has a strong customer base in the automotive industry, dealing only with highly solvent multi-national corporations. This ensures a steady flow of business and reduces the risk of bad debts. Some of the biggest logistic companies further subcontract work to us. Our customers pay us on an invoice-based method and they pay us 60-90 days after the completion of service.
• Over the past decade, the company has built strong relationships with major rail operators in Europe, with active and convenient contracts in place. This provides a stable and reliable operational framework for intermodal transport services.
• With the current structure, the company can handle up to 200 trailers. Each of these trailers has the potential to generate over EUR 10,000 in sales per month. With full utilization of the current structure, the company has the potential to generate sales of over EUR 2 million per month from the trailers alone.
• The combination of innovative intermodal transport solutions, a strong customer base in the automotive industry, long-term collaborations with major logistics providers, and contracts with major rail operators position the business for substantial growth in the increasingly eco-conscious global market.
• Intermodal transport with mega trailers: The core business lies in innovative intermodal transport solutions, utilizing mega trailers for high-volume capacity. This service has revolutionized transport from Italy to various destinations, providing a unique advantage in terms of volume capacity and efficiency. This standout offering positions the business as a leader in the transportation and logistics sector.
• Voluminous transport: expertise in handling bulky products using large-volume trailers and trucks, optimizing logistics for clients.
• Transport for automotive industries: Specialized services catering to the transport needs of the automotive industry, including the transport of spare parts.
