Direct peers

• Girteka Logistics: Lithuanian-headquartered road freight operator and one of the largest truck fleets in Europe.

• Raben Group: Polish family-owned logistics operator with road freight, contract logistics, and intermodal services across Central and Eastern Europe. Highly comparable to Baltic transline on regional focus, service mix (trucking, forwarding, warehousing), and privately-held mid-market positioning.

Broad incumbents

Comparable as an emerging intermodal player whose services complement Baltic transline's intermodal product offering for shippers seeking road-sea or road-rail combinations.
