In the record year of 2014 ROAD & RAIL carried 12,475 container shipments or about 21,100 TEU, generating more than EUR 12 million in turnover. “In 2015 we felt the cyclically-induced decline particularly with import traffic from the Northern ports to Austria and Eastern Europe“, says Norbert Grohmann, founder and CEO of the company. The more he is glad that “in the first quarter of this year we were able to beat the 2014 transport volume“.
