Rail&Sea Logistics Group

What Rail&Sea Logistics Group does

Rail&Sea Logistics Group is a privately held, pan-European rail logistics provider founded in 1997 in Seekirchen, Austria by Robert Greisberger. The company operates across 18 locations in 9 European countries (Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia) with roughly 250 employees and reported annual revenue of €70 million on throughput of approximately 4.6 million tonnes. Its business is organized around three vertically integrated pillars — Transport (rail logistics management for block trains and single wagons), Terminal (own railports at Slawków, Maddaloni, Limburg, and Arad), and Traction (own EVU operations in Austria, Germany, Croatia, Romania, and Slovenia using a 25-unit locomotive fleet including Siemens Vectron multi-system electric units). Differentiated assets include the proprietary MULTIBOX container family (BULK, ECO, STONE, PW variants), silo containers, and digital tools nanoRail (wagon dispatch and GPS fleet management) and eWarehouse (realtime warehouse management).

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales delivered through local country offices with native-language account management. Pricing is quote-based under multi-year contracts tailored to industrial customer requirements; no public pricing tiers are disclosed. The customer base spans five primary verticals: paper and forest products (legacy core), raw materials and construction, mining and quarrying, waste management, and chemical powders, served primarily by industrial shippers requiring cross-border rail logistics. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and owns wholly-owned operating subsidiaries in each country, including MULTIBOX Logistik GmbH, Rail&Sea Traction GmbH, and Ten Rail d.o.o.

Revenue is generated through transaction fees on rail logistics management, terminal and railport operations, traction services, equipment rental (containers, wagons, reach stackers), and professional services for operating customer industrial rail connections (Anschlussbahnen). Capital is sourced entirely from founders and operations; no external investors, private equity, or venture capital is disclosed. Recent strategic activity includes obtaining EVU licenses in Austria and Germany (2024), opening Railport Arad (2024), and launching a regular MULTIBOX block train between Limburg and Italy in 2026.
