Upex

What Upex does

Upex (legal entity UPEX LS OÜ) is a Tallinn-based, privately held Estonian logistics provider founded in 1998 and operating as the official Estonian representative of the Corstjens Worldwide Movers Group since 2002. The company delivers an integrated five-line service portfolio covering exhibition and trade-show forwarding, concert and event organization, international and domestic removals, 24/7 customs brokerage, and short- and long-term warehousing. Through its partnership with Corstjens, Upex accesses a European network of 30+ branch offices, 600+ employees, 185 vehicles, and approximately 1 million square feet of warehouse capacity, supporting an estimated 70,000 household goods transports per year and more than 2,000 events handled since inception across major European exhibition centers and concert tours.

The business is structured around project-based, quote-driven professional services sold to enterprises, trade-show organizers, concert promoters, relocating individuals, and import/export businesses. Pricing is custom per engagement, billed against multi-year contracts in some cases, with lead capture handled through a price-request form on a multilingual website (Estonian, English, Russian). The technology layer is conventional: logistics management, customs documentation (EUR, TIR, ATA, T1, Intrastat, CMR, AWB, BL, veterinary and phytosanitary certificates), and warehouse operations with forklifts and dock levelers. There is no AI/ML capability disclosed, no proprietary software platform, and no app or API surface.

Upex is 100% locally owned, with no venture capital, private equity, institutional investors, parent entity, or subsidiaries. Headcount of the Estonian direct entity is undisclosed; the 600+ figure refers to the Corstjens partner network rather than Upex employees. The company is a member of the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (since 2000) and the Estonian Forwarders Association (since 2002). No revenue is disclosed, and the operating footprint is concentrated in Estonia with European reach via the partner network.
