What Langowski Logistics does

Langowski Logistics is a privately held, family-owned Polish logistics company headquartered in Gdynia and operating since 2004. It provides international freight forwarding across all five major modes—sea, air, rail, road, and project/military cargo—together with customs brokerage, warehousing, depot and container services, cargo insurance, and e-commerce fulfillment. The company serves importers, exporters, manufacturers, defense organizations (NATO, U.S. Missile Defense Base, U.S. Armed Forces), humanitarian missions, and high-value automotive shippers, with a geographic footprint spanning Europe, North America (via a wholly-owned Miami subsidiary), the UK, Ukraine, and China (via the New Silk Road rail network).

The company operates five owned warehouses totaling 57,900 m² across Gdynia, Gdańsk (A+ class near DCT terminal), Łódź, and two Warsaw-area locations, supported by nearly 65 depot locations across Poland and Europe. Its technology stack consists of two proprietary systems: the LGI-WMS warehouse management platform (real-time inventory, barcode scanning, batch/expiry tracking) and the OECS online equipment control system (24/7 container monitoring), plus ready-made integrations with 15+ e-commerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, Allegro, Amazon, Magento, BaseLinker, Integriser OMS, and others) and eight couriers (DPD, UPS, DHL, FedEx, InPost, GLS, Orlen Paczka, Poczta Polska). The portfolio is differentiated by a hard-to-replicate regulatory stack—AEO Full, ICS (W-412/1/2020), NCAGE (9A0WH), IATA CASS, ISO 9001:2015, ADR Class 1, HACCP, and GMP+—enabling access to strategic/military cargo segments closed to uncertified competitors.

Langowski generates revenue through transaction fees on forwarding (sea/air/rail/road), managed-services fees on warehousing, professional-services fees on customs clearance, and per-order fulfillment fees on e-commerce, with quote-based, pay-as-you-go pricing and a 24-hour quote response commitment. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated departments per service line, complemented by 1,500+ logistics agents globally, an in-house customs agency, co-founder status in the New Silk Road network (30 weekly China rail connections), and membership in Lognet, GLA, FIATA, WCA, and JCtrans. Recent strategic activity includes a December 2025 launch of a new proprietary freight forwarding system and integration with Poland's National e-Invoicing System.
