Duesseldorf, 30.03.2022 – Despite the Ukraine crisis, XSTAFF GmbH continues to focus on growth: With the conclusion of a corporation contract with the Polish logistics service provider PST OST SPED SP. Z O.O.in mid-March, the purchasing platform, which now already includes more than 40 internationally active companies from industry and trade, is expanding its global network and also setting an important strategic signal for the future.
XSTAFF has already been active with its own location in Katowice, Poland, since September 2020. With the new partnership, the association not only strengthens its presence in one of Europe’s fastest-growing economies, but at the same time gives its members unrestricted access to PST OST SPED comprehensive portfolio of services. A strategic orientation that ultimately also meets the needs of many XSTAFF members, says Sebastian Gastecki, Managing Director XSTAFF Poland: “Our members are increasingly requesting on-site logistics services from us, which enable them to travel to destinations not only in Poland, but also in other countries in Eastern and Southeastern Europe. We can now fulfill this wish even better thanks to our cooperation with PST OST SPED.”
Comprehensive service portfolio
Originally founded as a customs agency, the polish company has developed over three decades into an important logistics provider in the domestic market. At its five locations in Poznan, Kalisz (container terminal), Wroclaw, Gliwice and Gdansk, PST OST SPED SP. Z O.O. offers its domestic and foreign customers services in the segments of land transport as well as, intermodal transport, special transport, warehousing and warehouse logistics, and distribution logistics, both as domestic transport and international transport. Over 100 trucks and trailers as well as a storage area of more than 50,000 square meters ensure that even comprehensive order volumes can be handled smoothly and safely. However, the handling of orders is not the only reason why companies choose PST OST SPED as a logistics partner, explains Mariusz Kąkol, Chairman of the Board of PST OST SPED SP. Z O.O.: “Nowadays, customers not only want fast and smooth processing, but also attach great importance to quality and safety. That’s why we also attach great importance to excellent quality management.”
A business orientation that is 100 percent in line with XSTAFF’s philosophy. This is another reason why Bodo Knop, chairman of the board of XSTAFF GmbH, is optimistic about the future, despite the current great uncertainty about how the situation in Eastern Europe will continue to develop: “The demand for logistics know-how and expertise will remain high in many Eastern and Southeastern European countries. It is therefore important to strengthen our network today, because only then will we be able to successfully meet the challenges of tomorrow.”
