BGT Group

What BGT Group does

BGT Group is a privately held Polish international freight forwarder headquartered in Białystok, operating from the merger of BAGAT Sp. z o.o. (founded 2010) and BGT Sp. z o.o. into a unified holding structure at the end of 2024, with renewed operations from March 2025. The company provides multi-modal international transport services across road, rail, sea, air, and combined multimodal configurations, alongside customs clearance, cargo insurance, factory audits in Asia, and warehouse/terminal services. Its principal competitive asset is an owned transshipment terminal at Siemianówka on the Polish-Belarusian border, featuring 25,000 m² of terminal area, a 1,200 m² covered warehouse, 1,520mm gauge railway siding, and crane capacity up to 50 tons — infrastructure that enables efficient gauge conversion between European and CIS railway systems and underpins its Eurasian trade corridor business.

The company serves more than 12,000 corporate clients and executes over 1,000 international transports annually, with claimed coverage across 70+ countries and active operations in 40+ Eurasian markets. Customer segments span importers and distributors sourcing from Asia, e-commerce and marketplace sellers, SMEs initiating import operations, construction and industrial firms requiring project cargo, and FMCG shippers into Nordic markets. The GTM motion is sales-led with dedicated account managers providing 24/7 coordination, supported by referral flow from WCA and JCtrans international freight network memberships, an SEO-driven content blog, and active social channels including LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on freight forwarding and professional services fees on customs, warehousing, factory audits, and insurance — pricing is quote-based and customized per shipment with no public rate schedule. Reported annual turnover exceeds 45 million EUR, and the company holds ISO and GDP certifications supporting enterprise and pharmaceutical logistics compliance.
