International Transport Company Legion

What International Transport Company Legion does

International Transport Company Legion is a private Belarusian holding company founded in 2011 that specializes in international transportation of oversized, heavy-weight, and project cargoes. The group operates through two principal subsidiaries — LLC "Legion-Express" in Belarus and LEGION Cargo GmbH in Germany — with offices in Brest and Lübeck, and maintains consolidation warehouses in Poland and Lithuania. Its service portfolio covers conventional cargo, dangerous goods, oversized/heavy loads, multimodal transport, and groupage (consolidated) cargo, with operations spanning Western and Eastern Europe, CIS countries, and Central Asia.

The company runs a sales-led B2B go-to-market model targeting enterprise clients across energy (renewable wind turbines, oil refinery equipment), manufacturing (ZTE Radom), food/consumer goods (Brest Dairy, Slutsk Sugar Refinery), and government/military logistics (a U.S. military base in Kyrgyzstan). Its specialized asset base includes superpower trucks with 2-3 driving axles and multi-axle semi-trailers engineered for oversized and project loads. A differentiating credential is the special pilot certification from Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs, a permitting layer that is difficult to obtain and creates a meaningful barrier for cross-border heavy-haul work in the CIS corridor. The company self-reports annual freight-traffic growth of 20-30%.
