What Proft Logistic does

Proft Logistic (Профт Лоджистик) is a Russian integrated logistics operator founded in 2000, specializing in consolidated cargo delivery from Europe (primarily Italy and Germany) and China/Southeast Asia to Russia. The company serves 5,000 regular clients — predominantly Russian small and medium importers of textiles, fabrics, furniture, and industrial goods — through an end-to-end service stack: international freight forwarding (road, air, sea, rail), in-house customs brokerage via licensed subsidiary OOO ProFTrade (FTS RF license No. 0446/01), bonded warehousing through AO InterLine at Remmash (SVKh No. 10013/200111/10109/5 with on-site Krasnozavodsky customs post), consolidation/deconsolidation at European hubs in Italy (Prato, Como via SET Falciani srl), Lithuania (Vilnius), and Germany (Neuss), and last-mile delivery using an own fleet (Mercedes, Ford, Gazelle) stationed at the Vidnoye logistics center. Pricing is transaction-based and quote-driven, with published unit rates such as €0.25/kg for consolidated road cargo from Europe, €1,500 per full truck, €3/kg air freight, $1,525 for a 20ft sea container from Shanghai, and €209/m³ for turnkey furniture delivery from Europe.

The company operates through a corporate group structure with OOO Proft Logistik as the parent operating entity, OOO ProFTrade as the customs brokerage subsidiary, AO InterLine as the bonded warehouse operator, and SET Falciani srl as the Italian consolidation warehouse. Core proprietary offerings include the 'Three Pillars of Warehouse' combined customs/temporary/commercial warehouse complex with customs payment deferral up to 3 years, a personal customer cabinet (cabinet.proft.ru) for shipment tracking, and a 27-year trade lane network supporting daily departures from Europe and multimodal access from China. Go-to-market combines direct field sales (dedicated account managers, specialized phone lines by service), inside sales via phone and email, and event-driven acquisition at Russian textile trade shows (Intertkan, CPM, Textile Salon, Textilexpo).

Revenue mechanics are diversified across five streams: international freight forwarding (transaction fees per shipment), customs brokerage (per declaration fees from 10,000 RUB), warehouse handling and storage (with 7-day free storage for deconsolidated cargo), trade agent services for non-FEA-registered Russian clients, and domestic road transport. Headcount stands at 100 permanent employees, monthly volume exceeds 1,000 consolidated shipments and 20 consolidated trucks, and the company is privately held with no disclosed venture capital or institutional ownership.

Regional players

• Sinotrans Limited: Sinotrans is China's largest logistics company with freight forwarding, shipping, and contract logistics across Asia and into Europe/Russia. Comparable to Proft on China-to-Russia corridors via rail and sea; Sinotrans is a state-backed regional giant operating from the origin side.
• TransContainer: TransContainer is Russia's largest intermodal container operator with rail and trucking services, particularly on Asia-to-Russia corridors. Comparable to Proft on rail/container international freight into Russia; TransContainer is much larger and asset-heavy.
• FESCO (Far Eastern Shipping Company): FESCO is a major Russian integrated logistics and shipping group operating container, rail, and port services between Asia and Russia. Comparable to Proft on Russia-bound international freight and customs/warehousing integration; FESCO is much larger and asset-heavy in rail/port infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• Expeditors International: Expeditors is a global logistics company focused on international freight forwarding (air and ocean) plus customs brokerage. Comparable to Proft's customs brokerage and multi-mode forwarding services; Expeditors operates globally without asset-heavy warehousing.
• DSV Panalpina: DSV is a major global transport and logistics provider with road, air, sea, and customs services. Directly comparable to Proft as an end-to-end forwarder; however DSV serves a global customer base rather than the specific Russia-import corridor.
• DHL Global Forwarding: DHL Global Forwarding is one of the world's largest air and ocean freight forwarders with customs brokerage and warehousing capabilities. Comparable as a multi-modal international freight forwarder with customs clearance; Proft is a much smaller, regionally focused competitor serving Russia-bound import flows from Europe and Asia.
• DB Schenker (DSV): DB Schenker is a global logistics provider offering European road freight, air/ocean forwarding, and contract logistics, with strong Europe-Russia historical presence. Comparable to Proft on Europe-to-Russia road freight forwarding and customs services; Schenker is a much larger global incumbent.
• C.H. Robinson: C.H. Robinson is a leading North American freight broker and global logistics provider with NAST (North American Surface Transportation) and global forwarding capabilities. Comparable as a freight arrangement/brokerage business serving SMB shippers; Proft is narrower in geographic and customer focus.
• GEODIS: GEODIS is a global transport and logistics provider with freight forwarding, contract logistics, and customs services across Europe and Asia. Comparable to Proft in cross-border forwarding + warehousing integration; GEODIS serves a much broader customer base.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Kuehne+Nagel is a top-3 global freight forwarder offering sea, air, road, and contract logistics with customs and warehousing services. Comparable to Proft on cross-border freight forwarding and customs brokerage; K+N operates at vastly greater scale and geographic breadth.
