Furniture from Poland reaches the markets of more than 100 countries each year. The key recipients are primarily Western European countries. In recent months, we have delivered the largest number of Home&Garden articles to Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and France, but the most expensive shipments in this area are usually to Spain and Italy.

We are investing heavily in modernisation and renewal of our fleet in Central and Eastern Europe. With the deployment of Cityliners in Poland and truck units in the Czech Republic, we are making the distribution of consignments more efficient, sustainable, and safe.

Whether it is alternative drives or climate-friendly fuels: We are focussing on alternatives to conventional diesel as part of our Mission Zero to climate neutrality. The latest example is HVO100, a sustainable diesel substitute that also benefits our environmentally conscious customers.

At Geis, we have a long-standing commitment to the development and education of young people and encourage them to tie their future to the logistics industry. In the perception of high school graduates, there may be many stereotypes that are mixed with reality and, as a result, may disqualify logistics majors from their consideration. However, the truth is that in logistics you can develop on many levels and use very different abilities and aptitudes.

The Geis Group, thanks to a landmark acquisition, posted significant growth in 2023, reaching a turnover of €1.89 billion. The Polish part of the Group even recorded double-digit year-on-year volume growth, despite the unfavorable situation. The entire group is now focusing on further deepening its cooperation with Quehenberger Logistics.

Fulfillment, or logistics outsourcing, is becoming a key tool to allow companies to focus on strategic areas of growth. Its importance is expected to grow by around 14 per cent each year, reaching US$272.14 billion in 2030.

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.
