What Projecta does

Projecta is a privately held 3PL logistics integrator headquartered in Almaty, Kazakhstan, founded in 2014, that combines engineering-led cargo planning with multimodal freight forwarding. The company serves industrial shippers — mechanical engineering, greenhouse complexes, medical, forestry, metallurgy, and petrochemical — alongside equipment dealer and distributor networks, with a service portfolio organized around project logistics, oversized and heavy cargo transport, multimodal transportation (road, sea, rail, air), consolidated and complete cargo (FTL) delivery, and a dedicated air freight offering. Differentiated "logistics engineering" services include cargo securing schemes, route surveys, loading optimization with cargo plan visualization, dismantling for dimension reduction, and supervision during complex projects; these are supported by a partnership with Captain Anatoly Shmelev and OJSC NIIAT (Research Institute of Road Transport) for cargo safety methodology. Infrastructure comprises a 20,000 m2 consolidation hub in Blonie, Poland (with 9m clear height, 27 ramps, 7 Drive-In exits, and 30 units of specialized handling equipment), regional offices in Almaty and Tashkent, a Germany warehouse, and a managed fleet of 542+ vehicles on Europe-Central Asia and Europe-Russia routes, with direct contracts to leading shipping lines, A++-rated insurers, and stevedoring partners across five continents.
