What Hatrans Logistics Sp. z o.o. does

Hatrans Logistics Sp. z o.o. is a family-owned Polish logistics provider founded in 1989 and headquartered in Łódź, operating from offices in Łódź (HQ), Gdynia, and Chengdu, China. The company delivers integrated multi-modal logistics services across three core pillars: customs agency operations (24/7 coverage with 80+ customs agents and simplified procedures enabling clearance in 30 minutes), warehousing (40,000-55,000 pallet spaces across A-class, WMS-managed facilities totaling 30,000+ sqm with 270,000+ annual In/Out operations), and transport (domestic road distribution, EU/international road freight, global sea freight via the Gdynia office, and express China-Poland-China rail freight with 14-16 day transit times via Kazakhstan, Russia, and Belarus). Supporting service lines include logistics outsourcing, e-commerce fulfillment, and individual project optimization.

The company runs on a Warehouse Management System with electronic inventory tracking and round-the-clock surveillance, and holds AEO, BRC Storage and Distribution, ISO 9001, and WSK certifications. Its China-Poland rail product is anchored by being the operator of the original Chengdu-Łódź freight train launched in 2012/2013 on the New Silk Road, and it extended its European footprint in 2020 via the Contargo Hatrans Łódź Sp. z o.o. joint venture with Contargo (which operates 24 intermodal terminals across Europe) to build a multimodal terminal in Łódź's Teofilów industrial zone, with cold-storage and Polish food export capabilities planned.

Hatrans is led by owner/CEO Anita Grzelak and owner/board member Filip Grzelak (third generation), supported by COO/Board Member Jarosław Żak and Director of Customs/Board Member Przemysław Olczyk. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a dedicated account manager assigned to each client, targeting import/export businesses, e-commerce companies, China-Europe trade firms, maritime shippers, and Polish food producers/exporters across a stated base of 15,000 customers. Revenue is generated via quote-based, project-tailored pricing across service lines and is not publicly disclosed.
