What Kerseli OÜ does

Kerseli OÜ is an Estonian private limited company founded in 1997 with 100% Estonian capital, headquartered in Pikkjärve village, Palamuse municipality, Jõgevamaa county. The company operates across three integrated business lines: transportation services, agricultural production, and heavy equipment repair.

In transportation, Kerseli runs a fleet of 15 semi-trucks and one full trailer (capacities ranging from 28m³ to 93m³), moving agricultural products (grain, fertilizers, plant protection products) and bulk materials (peat, wood chips, gravel, crushed stone) across Estonia and into Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland. Transport operations follow HACCP principles and are backed by CMR carrier liability insurance. In agriculture, the company cultivates wheat, barley, and rapeseed on more than 1,500 hectares of arable land, part of which is leased, in the fertile Jõgevamaa region. It also offers tractor, combine, and telescopic loader services to third-party farms. A workshop led by a dedicated manager provides heavy equipment repair, truck tire mounting, welding (steel and aluminum), locksmith work, and basic electrical services.

The business operates on quote-based, transaction-fee pricing across all three service lines, with revenue generated from freight charges, crop sales, machinery services, and equipment repair contracts. Kerseli reaches customers primarily through direct B2B relationships and long-term cooperation agreements rather than structured digital marketing. Recent capital deployment has been directed at operational resilience — specifically a 50 kWh energy storage system and a 30,000-liter liquid fuel storage facility — partially co-financed under the EU Estonian Rural Development Plan (MAK 2014–2020).

Broad incumbents

• Cargotec: Cargotec is a Finnish provider of cargo and load handling solutions for trucks, terminals, and ports. Its terminal and heavy cargo handling focus is comparable to Kerseli's heavy-equipment handling and bulk materials transport in the Baltic-Nordic region.
• Archer Daniels Midland (ADM): ADM is a global grain trader and agricultural services company that buys cereals and oilseeds from regional producers and operates logistics in Europe. It is comparable to Kerseli as a counterparty in the European grain and oilseed supply chain.
• DSV A/S: DSV is a global freight forwarding and road transport provider with significant Baltic operations. It competes for the same international agricultural and bulk freight contracts that Kerseli serves across Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland.
• DB Schenker: DB Schenker is a global logistics and road freight operator active across Europe including the Baltics. It is a broader incumbent competing for the same cross-border bulk and agricultural freight work.

• Alexela: Alexela is an Estonian energy company operating fuel terminals, terminals logistics, and retail fuel stations. Its bulk liquid fuel handling and inland transport of petroleum products is comparable to Kerseli's fuel and bulk materials freight operations in Estonia.

Direct peers

• Linas Agro Group: Linas Agro is a Lithuanian agribusiness group active in crop production, grain trading, logistics, and agricultural inputs across the Baltics. Its vertically integrated farming-plus-logistics model is closely comparable to Kerseli.
