Broad incumbents

• Hellmann Worldwide Logistics: Germany-headquartered global logistics provider with air, sea, road and rail forwarding as well as contract logistics across 60+ countries. Operates across Türkiye/CIS regions and competes for the same multimodal freight customers as Marpro.
• DHL Global Forwarding: Deutsche Post DHL's air and ocean freight forwarding division, one of the largest global forwarders. Significant presence across Türkiye, Caucasus and CIS with multimodal solutions that directly overlap Marpro's value proposition, though at much greater scale.
• Geodis: France-based global freight forwarder and contract logistics provider with road, air, sea and rail services across 170+ countries. Competes on Türkiye-CIS trade flows and multimodal forwarding, though Marpro's deeper regional presence in Caucasus ports is a differentiator.
• Kuehne + Nagel: Global Top-3 freight forwarder with extensive sea, air and overland forwarding capabilities plus customs and contract logistics. Competes with Marpro for the same Türkiye/CIS shipper base but offers globally standardized IT, scale and enterprise contracts.
• CEVA Logistics: Global supply chain and freight forwarding operator (CMA CGM group) with multimodal capabilities and growing Türkiye/CIS exposure. Overlaps Marpro's service portfolio at significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• DSV A/S: One of the world's largest freight forwarders with global road, air, sea and project cargo capabilities and a growing Middle Corridor / Caspian transit presence. Overlaps with Marpro on multimodal freight forwarding but operates at vastly larger scale and breadth.
• Maersk Logistics & Services: Integrated container logistics arm of Maersk, offering end-to-end ocean, inland, customs and forwarding solutions with active Middle Corridor / Caspian Sea transit investment. Significantly broader than Marpro in ocean container capacity but tracks the same corridor shift.

Direct peers

• ADY Express: Logistics arm of Azerbaijan Railways operating transit cargo between Türkiye, Georgia and Central Asia through the Baku port and rail corridor. Direct peer as a state-backed multimodal operator on the same transit axis where Marpro runs Azerbaijani operations.
• AsstrA Associated Traffic AG: Switzerland-based international transport and logistics group with dense CIS/Türkiye/Caucasus operations across road, sea, rail and air freight, including project cargo. Comparable multimodal-forwarder business model targeting the same Türkiye-CIS trade corridor customers.

Direct peer given similar regional footprint, multimodal offering, and target exporter/importer customer base overlapping with Marpro's.
