Albatros

What Albatros does

Albatros spol. s r.o. is a privately held Slovak logistics company founded in 1993 in Dunajská Streda (Mliečany district), operating as a family enterprise under Managing Director Ing. Ivan Uher. The company provides container transportation services across all four transport modes — road, sea, rail, and air — using a fleet of 60 Euro 6-compliant trucks equipped with JENSET genset semi-trailers capable of handling 20-, 30-, 40-, and 45-foot containers. Headquartered strategically 24 km from the Hungarian border, 40 km from Austria, and 45 km from Bratislava, Albatros combines an owned-asset haulage model with freight forwarding and customs declaration services, public customs warehousing, and ancillary offerings including 3,000 m² of secured truck parking, GPS-based cargo monitoring, and an in-house workshop providing EU-wide tire and breakdown repair.

The company serves a roster of enterprise logistics and shipping customers, including Kühne+Nagel entities in Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary, DSV Slovakia, Schenker (SK and HU), DACHSER Slovakia, Panalpina Slovakia, GEFCO Forwarding Slovakia, Roland Spedition (AT), and ocean carriers Maersk, MSC, COSCO, ZIM, and HMM. Service categories encompass core container transport (transaction-based, quote-priced per shipment parameters), professional freight forwarding, customs declaration and clearance (export, import, public customs warehouses, Intrastat), and truck parking/storage. Customer engagement is B2B direct, with services quoted and confirmed in writing, supported by multilingual website presence and FIATA / Slovak freight forwarder association memberships. The firm holds AEO, STN EN ISO, and SHS certifications and CMR Convention Article 23 liability insurance, providing the regulatory credibility required to handle cross-border container flows.

Revenue mechanics are entirely service-based: per-shipment transport fees, customs declaration professional fees, and parking/storage fees. Albatros does not disclose revenue, has no external funding, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and operates with 11–50 employees. The company's stated strategic objectives are to expand the fleet by at least 10 vehicles annually, focus on environmentally compliant equipment, and grow freight forwarding presence beyond the EU into Asian markets — a measured, organically financed growth posture characteristic of a long-tenured regional specialist rather than a venture-backed logistics platform.
