What The ILIOR does

The ILIOR (legal name SIA ILIOR) is a Latvian private limited company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Riga, operating as an integrated international logistics and customs services provider. The company runs a 20,000 sqm, three-warehouse complex (Class A, B, C) in the Riga seaport area equipped with a customs warehouse license, GDP-certified temperature-controlled chambers at three temperature ranges, and ADR certification for dangerous goods handling. Its service portfolio spans four pillars: (i) international freight forwarding across road, sea, rail, air, and multimodal modes including LCL/FCL/groupage cargo; (ii) warehousing and value-added services (sorting, labeling, repacking, scanning, cold storage); (iii) full customs brokerage covering import/export, temporary admission, transit, customs guarantees, and fiscal representation for non-EU companies; and (iv) e-commerce fulfillment including order processing, picking and packing, B2B/B2C delivery via a parcel locker network in EU and CIS, COD services, and returns management. All four pillars are delivered through a proprietary IT warehouse management system with an electronic interface enabling integration with client IT systems for order processing and status tracking.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and direct to B2B enterprise clients, with services priced on a quote-based, customized per-shipment basis rather than standardized tiers. The customer base is segmented vertically across e-commerce businesses, pharmaceutical companies (served via the GDP-certified cold-chain capability), and import/export companies requiring general freight and dangerous goods handling. Geographic reach spans the Baltic states, CIS countries, broader Europe, and weekly consolidated cargo services to/from China, Vietnam, India, Korea, and the USA, with the Riga facility functioning as a consolidation hub for CIS re-export flows to Europe and beyond. Quality and compliance positioning rests on ISO 9001:2015, GDP certification from the Latvian State Agency of Medicines, EU customs broker status, customs warehouse license, and fiscal representative status — collectively creating a regulated, multi-vertical logistics platform. The company has received Latvian government grants for international exhibition participation (2012, LIAA) and sustainability/CO2 reduction projects (2014, Environmental Investment Fund), but has no disclosed external institutional investors, parent company, or acquisition activity.

The product portfolio includes specialized sub-services such as cargo insurance, fiscal representative services for non-EU companies, groupage cargo delivery, and full fulfillment services for online stores. The company operates as a single integrated platform where these services work together—e-commerce clients can utilize warehouse storage, customs clearance, picking and packing, B2B/B2C delivery, and returns management as a unified offering. The transport sub-product enables all shipping modes while the comprehensive warehousing service provides software integration and order processing capabilities. All services can be combined to provide door-to-door logistics solutions.
