European intermodal logistics group this month sets up Contargo Intermodal Poland ‘due to the increasing demand’.
European intermodal logistics group Contargo has established a national company in Poland, founding Contargo Intermodal Poland as of this month.
The container hinterland logistics network said that “due to the increasing demand, the Contargo management has decided to establish its own national company in Poland”.
From its Warsaw location, the new company’s two managing directors Marcin Czachorowski and Jürgen Albersmann, “will drive forward the development of the Polish market”.
Jürgen Albersmann commented: “This was the next step for us to further expand our network in Poland. The presence in Poland makes it easier for us to network locally and allows us to offer solutions tailored to the market.”
Among other things, Contargo Intermodal Poland offers repositioning of empty containers, regular or one-off container transports by rail from Poland to other European countries, and container trucking to seaports in Poland and terminals in Malaszewicze and Brest.
“On request, we are also happy to offer other services related to the transport and handling of containers,” said fellow MD Marcin Czachorowski. “We are also connected to global transport chains via Contargo’s container hinterland network.”
With an annual transport volume of 2.1 million TEU, Contargo is one of the largest container logistics networks in Europe. It integrates container transport between the western seaports, the German North Sea ports and the European hinterland.
Contargo has 25 container terminals at its disposal in Germany, France and Switzerland as well as further locations in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Poland. The enterprise also operates its own barge and rail lines. In 2020 the workforce of 1,158 employees achieved a turnover of €513 million.
