C.S.CARGO Celebrates 20 Years in the Transportation and Logistics Business
This year C.S.CARGO, provider of logistics and transport services, celebrates 20 years in the business. C.S.CARGO, a group with a turnover in the range of billions CZK, presently operates a proprietary fleet of 850 vehicles and employs 1,700 people. On Saturday 5 September, the company organised an unforgettable celebration for its employees at Castle Loučeň.
C.S.CARGO was founded twenty years ago in Jičín, Czech Republic, where it still has its headquarters today. Since its establishment, the company has been steadily increasing its turnover, number of employees and fleet size, and presently is among the leaders in Europe in the transport and logistics market.
“At present our group operates a proprietary fleet of 850 vehicles and additional 2,250 trucks drive for us under a contract with our partners. The demand for road transport is growing; we do our best to accommodate our customers, so we make ongoing investments in the renewal of our rolling stock. We are also planning investments in customer projects,” Aleš Willert, CEO C.S.CARGO, comments on the future of the company.
The jubilee celebration was in a truly grand style – the company invited all employees and their families to Castle Loučeň. In addition to the tour of the castle, guests could enjoy attractions such as a rope course, labyrinths and mazes, trampolines or fishing. The extensive programme also included entertaining shows such as parachute jumps, Long Vehicle Circus and a live performance by Xindl X.
“The party was meant as one big ‘Thank You’ to all our employees and their families, for the work they are doing and support they are giving, because without them C.S.CARGO would not be where we are today,” adds Aleš Willert.
