Although exceeding forecasts, this growth is no coincidence. In the midst of the economic and health crisis, the ownership and the company board made the counter-trend choice to increase investments and diversify their services, both in terms of offerings and sectors served. First and foremost, this meant acquiring new skills and hiring new personnel, but also investing in new warehouses and vehicles. The company, already recognized internationally for full truckload (FTL) and heavy haulage transport, quickly became a benchmark in logistics, less-than-truckload management (LTL and Groupage), and air & ocean transport. In addition, investments in sustainability and digitalization were increased, significantly enhancing the positioning of the GRUBER Logistics brand and establishing its international reputation not merely as an operator, but as a partner capable of creating new solutions. Furthermore, this solution-oriented approach has led the company to forge increasing international partnerships, leading to research projects funded by the European Commission in the fields of heavy commercial vehicle automation and new generations of alternative fuel vehicles.
GRUBER Logistics celebrates the milestone of 500 million in turnover
One year ahead of strategy, we celebrate 500 million in turnover
When GRUBER Logistics developed its three-year strategy, it could not have imagined that it would celebrate reaching its set targets a year earlier than expected. In fact, the strategy announced by the company a year ago set a target turnover of 520 million by the end of 2023, whereas by November of this year the company was already able to celebrate exceeding 500 million. Furthermore, this growth reflects only the company’s organic growth and does not take into account recent acquisitions. In September, the company acquired Universal Transport, a German company with several branches in Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean specializing in heavy transport and project cargo. With growth close to 30% (compared to an overall sector growth of around two percentage points), these transactions are already projecting the group towards a turnover of 700 million.
