What Alpi Eesti does

Alpi Eesti OÜ is a privately held Estonian full-service international logistics provider and subsidiary of the ALPI Group, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Lehmja (Tallinn) with a regional office in Tartu. The company offers an integrated portfolio across the supply chain: international and domestic road freight (FTL, LTL, ADR dangerous goods, and thermotransport), global sea freight (FCL and LCL), global air freight (standard, express, and charter), licensed excise and customs warehousing at its Lehmja facility, terminal handling and cross-docking, customs brokerage, and domestic e-commerce fulfillment and last-mile delivery. It serves primarily B2B clients — importers, exporters, manufacturers, and wholesalers — across 35+ European countries and globally through ALPI Group's partner network, with secondary segments in e-commerce and excise goods importers.

The company operates a proprietary web-based Warehouse Management System (WMS) branded as "Veebiladu," complemented by an Extranet client portal, real-time GPS tracking for road shipments, and electronic air waybill (AWB) processing for air freight. It holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications from Bureau Veritas, is a member of ELEA, FIATA, and ERAA/IRU, and maintains licensed excise warehouse (EE1B001780101) and customs warehouse (EE1310EE) authorizations. Its go-to-market is sales-led and inquiry-driven, with personal transport coordinators assigned per route, direct contact channels per service line, and an Estonian-language website as the primary demand-generation surface.

Revenue is generated entirely on a transaction- and usage-based model: freight is priced per shipment using weight/volume formulas and surcharges (fuel, security, ADR, holiday), warehousing is billed per pallet position and handling operation, and customs brokerage is charged per declaration. All pricing is quote-based with no public rate card. Cancellation policies vary by mode. The business has no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, and limited publicly verifiable financial data, consistent with its status as a privately held subsidiary of a larger international logistics group.

Revenue model

1. Road Freight Transport: Full truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) road transport services across Europe.

Additional charges apply for ADR (dangerous goods), thermotransport (refrigerated), and express deliveries. Cancellation fees apply per contract terms.
2. Sea Freight Transport: Full Container Load (FCL) and Less Container Load (LCL) global sea freight services. Revenue is driven by container fees, terminal handling charges (THC), and documentation fees. LCL consolidation offers volume-based pricing starting from 1 m³.
3. Air Freight Transport: Standard and express air freight services with global coverage. Pricing based on chargeable weight (actual vs volumetric). Additional charges for fuel surcharge (FSC) and security surcharge (SSC). Express/NFO services priced separately.
4. Warehousing and Fulfillment: Short- and long-term storage in a heated, monitored warehouse in Lehmja. Services include picking & packing, labeling, sorting, and last-mile distribution. Billing is flexible based on actual storage space used (per pallet/position) and handling volume.
5. Excise and Customs Warehousing: Licensed excise warehouse (EE1B001780101) for alcohol and tobacco products, and customs warehouse (EE1310EE) for third-country goods. Revenue from storage fees and customs/excise administration services.
