PKS Gdańsk-Oliwa

What PKS Gdańsk-Oliwa does

PKS Gdańsk Oliwa SA is a privately held Polish B2B transport and logistics integrator founded in 1966 and headquartered in Gdańsk, with 251-500 employees. The company operates as a 'Control Tower' providing single-point responsibility across road transport, sea freight, contract warehousing, customs clearance, ferry crossings, and specialized handling of strategic/dual-use goods. Its primary customers are manufacturing companies, importers/exporters, and corporations requiring integrated multi-leg supply chains across Poland, the DACH region, the United Kingdom, and broader Europe.

The operating model rests on a combination of own assets and tightly managed partners: 60 tractor units (Scania Next Gen, Volvo FH4, Mercedes Actros) supported by a vetted carrier network delivering ~150 vehicles per week on the UK lane, 70,000 m² of warehouse space across seven Polish cities (Gdańsk, Pruszcz Gdański, Łódź, Kraków, Lędziny, Mokrzec, Jasionka), and an in-house customs agency. Technology consists of a proprietary TMS for route optimization and carrier selection, 24/7 GPS tracking across the own fleet, a WMS for warehouse operations, and the OPTIcarrier platform for online carrier collaboration, document exchange, and settlement. The Promy24.com sub-brand (25 years old) provides contracted ferry booking capacity on UK routes, and the PGO Spedition brand extends reach into Hungary.

PKS Gdańsk Oliwa generates revenue through transaction-based road transport (international FTL/LTL, refrigerated, ADR), managed contract logistics (storage, cross-docking, fulfillment, co-packing), professional services (customs agency, freight forwarding), and add-on services such as cargo insurance (OCPD24.com) and international relocations. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is regulated across multiple frames (ISO 9001:2015, AEO, WSK, NATO NCAGE, HACCP, ADR classes 2-9, customs warehouse status), with WSK certification valid through November 2027 underpinning a niche positioning in strategic and defense-related cargo.
