RALU Logistika, the largest independent integrated logistics and 3PL company in the region, has celebrated 35 years of successful business and announced a new investment cycle that will double its capacities and invest in further growth.

RALU Logistika was founded in 1989 and has grown from a small domestic carrier to the largest independent 3PL provider in the cold and frozen regime in the region. Today, it employs nearly 700 people, has over 150 permanent clients, and has invested a total of 80 million EUR to date with the aim of strong expansion and business development.

– RALU is special because it fully adapts very complex logistics operations to the specific requirements of clients. We are partners with all the largest retail chains and food companies in the region, and we are proud that our service concept creates the conditions for faster growth and business expansion. In addition to logistics services, our traditional segment of international transport operates at the highest standards of Western Europe, and I can proudly say that we contract more than 70% of these services through international tenders. Our clients in this segment are leading global food and pharmaceutical companies – said Mario Mesaroš, CEO of RALU Logistika, at the ceremony.

At the ceremonial marking of 35 years of RALU Logistika, a new investment cycle was also announced. Following the successful realization of the last investment amounting to 15 million EUR and the opening of the RUGVICA 2 warehouse, whose capacities were filled in record time, the company is launching a new investment cycle and the construction of RUGVICA 3. With this new investment, RALU is doubling its current capacities in the frozen regime, responding to the growing needs of clients and supporting their further growth. The Croatian Chamber of Economy presented a special recognition to RALU Logistika for its contribution to the development of the Croatian economy during the anniversary celebration.

– RALU Logistika is the oldest and important member of our group from which today’s LURA Group emerged. After a period in which it was a key component of the dairy industry and provided logistics services for it, RALU is now a successful independent company that grows every year and sets new standards in the logistics industry. We are extremely satisfied with the growth and development of RALU and the way it relates to its partners, respecting the highest ethical and moral principles; however, the greatest wealth of RALU Logistika is the company culture, which is particularly reflected in its relationship with its employees and customers – said Luka Rajić, investor and chairman of the Supervisory Board of RALU Logistika.
