TIGGES advises Laude Smart Intermodal SA on market entry in Germany

Laude Smart Intermodal SA, one of the market leaders in the Polish intermodal transport market, began its expansion into the German market at the beginning of the year and established its own corporate structure for this purpose with Laude Assets GmbH and Laude GmbH, both based in Duisburg. This foreign investment is co-financed by the Polish Development Fund (PFR TFI S.A.). More than 40 million euros will be invested in the project called "Time For Revolution".

Laude already operates several intermodal transport routes to Eastern Europe and Russia. The investment in Germany is a significant step in the implementation of the long-term strategy to expand the offer of innovative intermodal transport solutions on the Western European markets and proves the trend towards dynamic development of intermodal transport in Europe.

The trend towards direct investments from Poland has been continuing for several years now. NRW in particular represents an important and frequent target region.

The TIGGES Polish Desk, which also has a proven focus on the transport and logistics sector, provided comprehensive advice and support to the Laude Group during the preparation and implementation of the investment project.
