Martoni Transport keeps the faith with Austria

Based in Gnas, Styria the Martoni transport company is specialised in bulk cargo transport using sliding floor trailers, and sees predictable fleet costs as an important factor of its future success.
Today the fleet comprises nine vehicles, including three Mercedes-Benz Actros with Euro 6 engines. 95 per cent of the transport performance is provided in Austria, and also the lion’s share of turnover is generated within the country.
Christoph Liebmann, who took over the company management from his father in 2010: “The company name Martoni is composed of my parents’
first names, Maria and Toni Liebmann, who established the transport enterprise in 1991.“ The company strategy has been clearly defined from the beginning, and remains unchanged also today: Sound growth without loosing sight of the costs.
The decision to buy Mercedes-Benz vehicles can be explained by their favourable consumption figures and the offered service. Christoph
Liebmann: “Given the size of our company, an own garage does not pay off, hence we signed a 5-years-maintenance contract for the entire operating life of the vehicles.“
This means fleet costs are fixed costs, and in addition there is a weekend-service, meaning no working days are blocked for maintenance, explains Christoph Liebmann. Another advantage is the pick-up and delivery of the vehicles by the maintenance company, as the entrepreneur points out.
Apart from precisely knowing the fleet costs, the Martoni family enterprise also attaches importance to a small ecologic footprint.
Therefore all drivers are trained regularly, and familiarised with the latest technology. This means there is an internal competition among the drivers, which is at the same time increasing the safety but also reducing the consumption of the fleet. Moreover Martoni is particularly proud of beeing a partner of the „Klima:Aktiv“ campaign.
The company aims to pursue its way also in the future. Christoph Liebmann: “We will keep the faith with Austria as a business location and count on sound growth.”
