As of 2024, the AsstrA Group operates through a network of offices in more than 23 countries, including Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Turkey, the United States, China, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. Its activities focus mainly on business-to-business (B2B) logistics services, including international freight transport and supply chain coordination.
History
AsstrA was founded in 1993 as a small road freight operator specializing in transport between Western Europe and the CIS region. During the late 1990s, the company expanded its activities within member states of the European Union, reflecting the growing demand for cross-border logistics services following market liberalization in Central and Eastern Europe.
In 2000, AsstrA introduced its own truck fleet and expanded into third-party logistics (3PL) services. A decade later, in 2010, the group was reorganized into several legally independent entities, including AsstrA Forwarding AG, AsstrA Transport AG, AsstrA Logistics AG, and EBS Partners AG.
From the mid-2010s, the company continued geographic expansion beyond Europe. In 2015, AsstrA opened its first office in East Asia, located in Shanghai, China. In 2019, the company entered the North American market with an office in New York City.
Corporate structure
The AsstrA Group operates as a holding structure comprising several specialized subsidiaries responsible for freight forwarding, transport operations, logistics coordination, and related services. This organizational model is intended to separate operational responsibilities by service type and region while maintaining centralized strategic management.
The group’s offices function as regional coordination centers, supporting international transport operations across road, rail, sea, and air corridors.
Services
AsstrA provides international transport and logistics services, including:[3]
- road freight transport
- rail freight transport
- maritime transport
- air freight
- multimodal and intermodal transport

The company is active in sectors such as chemicals, energy, construction, and manufacturing, where logistics operations often involve non-standard or oversized cargo.
Innovation and sustainability
In the 2020s, AsstrA has participated in initiatives related to transport decarbonization and fuel testing. In cooperation with energy and fuel suppliers, the company tested the use of HVO100 renewable diesel fuel in road transport operations in Poland, as part of broader efforts within the European logistics sector to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.[4]
The company has also been involved in EU-supported logistics corridors, including transport routes linked to the EU–Ukraine “Solidarity Lanes” initiative, aimed at maintaining supply chains during periods of geopolitical disruption.[5]
Certifications
AsstrA holds several international management and safety certifications, including ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), ISO 28000 (supply chain security), and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety). The company also holds certifications related to food transport and chemical logistics, including SQAS assessments for the handling of chemical goods.
Notable projects
According to industry publications, AsstrA has been involved in several large-scale logistics projects. In 2023, the company coordinated the transport of heavy industrial components for petrochemical infrastructure, including oversized cargo transported via inland waterways in Poland.
In 2024, AsstrA’s project logistics teams handled the transport of large industrial modules from Southeast Asia to Western Europe, as well as complex multimodal shipments involving road and air freight between the United States and Southeast Asia.
Social engagement and industry presence
AsstrA regularly participates in international logistics and project cargo exhibitions, including industry trade fairs focused on heavy and breakbulk transport. The company is also present in sector-specific discussions on supply chain resilience and sustainability.[6]
