The Company is the only operator in the CIS that preserved unique knowledge base, expertise and traditions of its predecessor.
Other services provided by the group are the lease of railway cargo wagons, rendering of information services related to the location of wagons, control of wagon and cargo delivery on railways and at the marshalling yards of enterprises or ports. It also provides a range of special rail engineering, maintenance and repair services. One of the forwarding companies specialises in developing information systems and digital logistic technologies.
