Galambos Trans Kft.

What Galambos Trans Kft. does

Galambos Trans Kft. is a 100% Hungarian-owned, family-operated freight transport and logistics company founded in 1991 by Gyula Galambos and headquartered in Vép, Hungary (Kassai utca 73., 9751) on the M86 expressway. The company, now in its third generation of family leadership (Managing Director Galambos Balázs), operates as part of the broader Galambos Group (Galambos Cégcsoport), which spans logistics, freight forwarding, catering, and real estate. Its service portfolio centers on international and domestic freight transport — including an express service with a 2-hour dispatch guarantee within a 1,300 km radius covering Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Benelux, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, and additional European destinations — supplemented by freight forwarding with stand-by trailers, 24/7 domestic manufacturing support (six trucks in continuous shift), a 131-space guarded truck and bus parking facility, and value-added logistics such as warehousing, customs storage, returnable packaging cleaning and management, labeling, and shrink-wrapping.

The company maintains a fleet of 42 tractor units, 17 MEGA semi-trailers, 8x18t trucks, 2x7.5t trucks, and 1 van, with announced expansion of 5 additional MEGA Scania tractors and 5 SCHMITZ MEGA semi-trailers, plus a new-generation Mercedes-Benz Actros L ProCabin MEGA tractor introduced in 2024. Its technology layer is anchored by GPS-based real-time cargo tracking and Mercedes-Benz OEM safety systems (Active Brake Assist 6, Active Sideguard Assist 2). Revenue is generated through transaction-based fees across transport, parking (e.g., 15 EUR / 6,000 HUF per 24 hours for trucks), warehousing, and value-added services, with international freight priced by quote.

Galambos Trans serves enterprise customers concentrated in automotive supply chains — Aptiv, Audi, Magna, Autoliv, and Schaeffler are named references — alongside packaging (DS Smith, Paccor, Roto), electronics manufacturing (Flex), food (Nestlé), footwear (Legero), and industrial clients (Falco, Hirsch Porozell, AMES, ADA). Long-term just-in-time partnerships with manufacturers, integrated warehousing via sister company Galambos Logistic Kft., and full goods and liability insurance underpin the value proposition. The company was recognized as a top-150 Lovable Workplace (DreamJo.bs) among 1,834 SMEs in 2023 and uses sports sponsorships (rallycross driver Horváth Olivér) for regional brand visibility.
