Erontrans

What Erontrans does

Erontrans Sp. z o.o. is a privately held, 100% family-owned Polish freight forwarder and contract logistics operator founded in 1989 and headquartered in Pruszcz Gdański, with a customs agency subsidiary (Erontrans - Agencja Celna Sp. z o.o.) and offices in Gdynia, Pruszcz Gdański, and Piotrków Trybunalski. The company delivers an integrated TSL (Transport-Spedition-Logistics) offering covering road, sea, air, intermodal (Huckepack vertical-loading trailers certified for rail and Ro-Ro), customs clearance, ferry crossings, groupage, project cargo (oversized/heavy lifts), jockey transport, and >80,000 m² of contract-logistics warehousing.

The technology stack is conventional for a mid-market European 3PL: GPS fleet monitoring, ATP-certified temperature-controlled trailers with recorders (-25°C to +25°C), the Apollo WebBooking online booking and Track & Trace platform, and KSeF (Krajowy System e-Faktur) national e-invoicing adopted from February 2026. Erontrans serves six industrial verticals — Automotive, FMCG, High Tech/Electronics, Retail, Food Service, and Paper — with a network of 15 Polish partner terminals, 42 European partners, 57 international partners, and global air/sea freight agents.

The business model is quote-based, transaction-fee revenue from transport services, customs agency fees, sea and air freight forwarding, managed-services contract logistics, and intermodal transport. Distribution is direct B2B sales to enterprise multinationals and SMBs with multi-year contracts; the carrier side is recruited via dedicated phone and email channels. EU co-financing under POIiŚ, POIS, POIG, and RPLD programs (cumulative ~43.6M PLN over 2012-2020) has funded the intermodal fleet, Wolbórz logistics center, and integrated management system — an unusual capital structure for a private family-owned operator.
