The expansion of the transport fleet with Cityliner trailers is a key project for Geis PL in 2023, which the company plans to develop intensively in the coming months. It is one element of the MissionZero strategy, which aims to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 65 per cent between 2020 and 2030 and ultimately achieve climate neutrality.

Thanks to the expansion of export lines from the CEE region and the active cooperation with our sister company Quehenberger, in which Geis took a majority stake last year, our clients' shipments reach their recipients faster and often at a lower cost.

Grzegorz Lichocik, BEng, PhD has become its new Managing Director. As of the same date, the current Operations Director of Geis PL, Paweł Golec, was appointed as Proxy. These changes come after last year's acquisition of the Austrian company Quehenberger and together clearly demonstrate the dynamism and success of the development of the entire Geis Group.

New warehouse space, CityLiner trailers, a 50 per cent drop in complaints - these are Geis PL's key achievements in 2023. The group is expanding in the green transport sector and plans to steadily increase its share of the pallet transport market both in Poland and Europe. Despite the difficult months for the TSL industry, the company is not slowing down and announces further investments.

Although international transport, especially the transport of goods from Asia and other distant markets, is itself a relatively rigid area, external influences can destabilise it significantly. This was demonstrated not only during the covid pandemic, but also in the Suez Canal accident, under extreme weather conditions and, of course, after the start of the war in Ukraine. However, thanks to significantly lower demand and the straightening of supply chains last year, the big price increases have finally been replaced by cheaper prices. But is it possible to predict what will happen next?

Real vanilla from Madagascar, shea butter from Uganda, freeze-dried liver from New Zealand or oysters from Iceland. Such foodstuffs are also imported into the Czech Republic, where demand for them is growing year by year. But their journey to the centre of Europe is not always easy.

The beginning of the year is usually a time of taking stock of previous years. Although it might seem that after two years of covid nothing could surprise us, last year another blow came. And it was even worse - the war conflict in Ukraine. Unfortunately, hopes of stabilising society and markets were short-lived. In both periods, logistics played a very important, one might say indispensable, role. We asked Daniel Knaisl, Managing Director of the logistics company Geis, how he perceives the constant changes and increasingly challenging conditions.

Renáta and Kristýna. Two women who work with their hearts. And it shows! Even though it might seem that their fields are diametrically opposed, it's just the opposite. The first of them, Renáta Chlebková Benešová, is a CSR specialist at the humanitarian organisation ADRA. Helping is her mission. The second, Kristýna Copková, is a marketing manager at the logistics company Geis. Even though she works for a large multinational company, her heart is in the right place. And she is certainly not afraid of any challenge. But what do they have in common?

What do you know about logistics? Do you think it's moving goods from point A to point B? You're right, but you don't have it. In fact, the actual movement of goods is only part of the industry. What else logistics deals with was the subject of a lecture, during which Geis project manager Jan Jadrníček passed on his experience in warehouse logistics to students of the Faculty of Business and Economics of the University of Economics in Prague.
