FERSPED AD SKOPJE

What FERSPED AD SKOPJE does

FERSPED AD Skopje is a North Macedonian freight forwarding and logistics operator, publicly listed on the Macedonian Stock Exchange (ISIN: MKFERS101018) with 18,113 ordinary shares outstanding and reported share capital of 677,426,200 MKD. Founded in 1968 as an independent unit within the Railway Organization of Macedonia and fully privatized in 1995, the company delivers an integrated suite of logistics services — multi-modal freight forwarding across rail, road, sea-container, and air transport; customs brokerage with licensed representation; public and bonded warehousing; a 45,000 m2 truck terminal; and supporting services including insurance brokerage and fuel retail under the OCTA brand. It serves major industrial enterprises in Macedonia and the broader Balkans (named customers include FENI Industries and TEC Negotino) and operates representative offices in Thessaloniki, Belgrade, Bar, and Pristina with customs offices at seven border crossings and internal Macedonian nodes.

The company's underlying technology is standard logistics IT rather than proprietary platforms: computer-based goods monitoring, the government-issued CDEPS/CIPS customs declaration processing systems (for which the company received a 2025 WCO Secretary General Certificate of Merit), and 24-hour physical video surveillance at the JCS Logistics Center in Skopje — strategically located at the intersection of corridors 8 and 10. Physical infrastructure is substantial: 30,000 m2 of closed storage, 50,000 m2 of open storage, 35 loading units, and a 1,500-vehicle annual-capacity carwash facility. Revenue mechanics are primarily transaction-fee based for freight and customs, managed-services for warehousing, and professional-services/transaction-fee for insurance and fuel — all delivered via direct enterprise sales through four logistics departments and two transportation departments. The company also holds equity stakes in adjacent sectors (banking, hotel management including Hotel Aleksandar Palace and Hotel Metropol Ohrid, wine production via Skovin, and gaming), indicating a holding-company dimension beyond core logistics. Governance is a single-tier Board of Directors (six members) with the Nakov family in control — Šterjo Nakov as Chairman and Dragan Nakov as General Director.

Broad incumbents

• Expeditors: US-headquartered global logistics provider focused on air and ocean freight forwarding with customs brokerage. Comparable customs documentation focus and asset-light operating philosophy, with broader geographic reach than Fersped.
• DSV: Global transport and logistics group offering road, air, sea, and customs services across Europe. Highly comparable multi-modal forwarding model with significant European footprint competing for the same Balkan industrial customers.
• Hellmann Worldwide Logistics: German family-owned global forwarder with road, air, sea, and customs capabilities. Similar family-influenced governance style and multi-modal forwarding model as Fersped, with strong European road and rail operations.
• DHL Global Forwarding: Division of Deutsche Post DHL handling international air, ocean, and road freight plus customs services. Closest large-scale analog to Fersped's integrated freight forwarding + customs model, and a direct competitor for enterprise shippers in the Balkans.
• DB Schenker: European-headquartered logistics provider offering integrated land transport, air/ocean freight, and contract logistics. Comparable to Fersped in combining rail, road, and contract logistics services for industrial clients in Central and Southeastern Europe.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Global freight forwarder with extensive road, rail, sea, and air operations and a strong Balkan presence. Comparable to Fersped across all transport modes and customs brokerage, but operating at vastly greater scale across multiple continents.
• CEVA Logistics: Global supply chain operator owned by CMA CGM, providing freight management, contract logistics, and customs services. Comparable integrated forwarding-plus-warehousing model with significant European presence.

Direct peers

• Gebrüder Weiss: Family-owned Austrian-headquartered logistics provider with strong Central and Southeastern European road, air, sea, and warehousing operations. Most direct regional comparable to Fersped in scale, ownership structure, and integrated service portfolio.

Regional players

• Delta Holding: Serbian diversified conglomerate with logistics, distribution, and forwarding operations serving the Western Balkans. Compares to Fersped as a regional, diversified business group with a material logistics forwarding arm and home-market dominance.
