across the region, where we’ve established ourselves as one of the important hauliers
I’ve been managing SŽ Cargo as its director for nine years and I know that we wouldn’t have been successful without the creating of synergies with our colleagues and business partners and initiators of cooperation on the development of new products. We offer services with our own traction in Slovenia, Austria
and Croatia, and we intend to expand to new markets very soon. Our key goal is to internationalise our operations in the key markets of Central and Southeast Europe. We will continue offering customers new modern logistics solutions, focusing on their needs. We will connect flows of goods even more efficiently along the longest possible transport routes and redirect as much cargo as possible from roads to railways, thus taking care of the environment even in places where we aren’t yet present. We will support our development with new investments in modern vehicles. The past two years have brought us a pandemic and major business challenges. How are you dealing with them? European railway undertakings were already facing negative trends in the last quarter of 2019, especially in the automotive and steel industries, where we perform a lot of transport. However, many major customers significantly reduced their production levels
