The COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and surging inflation have created a challenging operating environment for SŽ-Tovorni Promet, yet the Slovenian railway freight transport company has managed to not only weather the storm but to record an increase in its transports.
With an ambitious investment of approximately EUR 300 million projected until 2030, the company is gearing up to elevate the standards of its operations in light of the importance of modernizing the railway infrastructure and the company's vehicle fleet. This commitment to upgrade is shared by Slovenia as a whole, which has initiated an extensive investment cycle in its public railway infrastructure. One key project is the modernization of the second track between Divaca and Koper, which holds strategic significance not just for SŽ-Tovorni Promet but for the country's entire logistics landscape.
SŽ-Tovorni Promet is also making a determined foray into wider foreign markets, largely due to a shortage of new cargo in the domestic market. The company has its eyes set on key markets such as Hungary, Italy, and Serbia, with expansion plans either through partnerships with other carriers or via their own traction. Despite being a small player in European terms, SŽ-Tovorni Promet takes pride in its adaptability and the ability to customize its logistics services to cater to specific customer requirements.
Moreover, according to Melita Rozman Dacar, SŽ-Tovorni Promet's Director, due to the strategic partnership with the Czech firm, EP Logistics International, they are anticipating collective growth, comprehensive fleet modernization, and the acquisition of new goods. The collaboration exemplifies the company's commitment to long-term partnerships and customer-centric solutions, underscoring SŽ-Tovorni Promet's resilience and adaptability even amidst daunting challenges.
