cargo‑partner Slovenia is marking 30 years since the start of its operations. Founded in 1996 with a small office at Ljubljana Airport, the company has grown into one of Slovenia’s established logistics providers and a key part of cargo‑partner’s network in Central and Eastern Europe.
Today, the organisation employs more than 150 people and provides air, sea, road, customs and contract logistics services. Its facilities comprise almost 50,000 m² of warehouse space across Ljubljana, Brnik and Logatec.
cargo‑partner Slovenia began with a focus on airfreight before expanding into seafreight, road transport, customs services and warehousing. The opening of an office in Koper in 2002 strengthened its connection to the Port of Koper and European markets. In 2013, the company launched its contract logistics activities and opened its first warehouse in Ljubljana.
A significant milestone came in 2019 with the opening of the iLogistics Center Ljubljana in Brnik. Initially covering 25,000 m², the site has since expanded to 39,100 m² and is now one of the largest logistics facilities in the cargo‑partner network. In 2025, the Slovenian organisation added further warehouse capacity in Logatec and opened a new customs office in Ljubljana.
Viktor Kastelic, managing director of cargo‑partner Slovenia and Director Cluster CEE Adriatic, said: “Over the past 30 years, our success has been built on committed teams, trusted partnerships, and a strong focus on our customers. As part of the Nippon Express Group since 2024, we can combine our local expertise with global capabilities and continue developing reliable, innovative solutions in Slovenia and beyond.”
Otto Zsivkovits, chief commercial officer at cargo‑partner Group, added: “Slovenia is an important market for cargo‑partner and the CEE region, thanks to its strategic location, the Port of Koper, and the strength of our local team. This anniversary reflects the strong foundation cargo‑partner Slovenia has built for its next phase of growth within the Nippon Express Group.”
