What Transport and logistics Sirk does

T.L.Sirk d.o.o. is a privately held Slovenian logistics company headquartered in Ljubljana that delivers six integrated logistics activities — road transport, rail transport, sea/maritime transport, air transport, customs clearance, and warehousing — under a single provider. The company was founded in 1997 (per company history; firmographic data lists 2005) and operates through seven wholly-owned business units across Slovenia plus a customs warehouse subsidiary in Šimanovci, Serbia opened in June 2022. Its assets are strategically co-located with critical transport infrastructure: the Obrezje border crossing to Croatia (a primary EU-Balkans freight corridor, with 24/7 customs operations and reportedly 100-2,000 procedures daily), Luka Koper port (Adriatic container hub), and Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport at Brnik. The fleet comprises 174 EURO 6 vehicles, storage capacity stands at approximately 28,000 pallet positions in Slovenia plus a further 15,000 in Serbia, and the destination network spans 69 countries.

The business model is built on enterprise B2B logistics contracts, serving manufacturing customers across the automotive (Renault, Ad Plastika), consumer appliances (Hisense, Gorenje, Electrolux), steel/construction materials (Voestalpine, Trimo), pharmaceutical, and food industries. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue streams combine freight shipping (road, rail, sea, air) with professional services (customs brokerage and warehousing). The technology stack is conventional for the sector: a Warehouse Management System connected to Slovenian facilities, cross-docking capabilities, multimodal service packages (ROAD&AIR, ROAD&SEA, TRAIN&SEA, ROAD&TRAIN with China-Europe rail routing via Budapest to Xi'an), and participation in the Blockchain In Transport Alliance (BiTA) for digital custody tracking. Differentiators include the firm's AEOC customs authorization, GDP/HACCP/ISO 9001 certifications enabling pharma and food verticals, and its multilingual reach (operations in Slovenia, Serbia, and trade-fair presence at Transport Logistic Munich). The company reports a 20,000+ customer base and approximately 199 drivers alongside administrative headcount.
