As a dedicated sponsor of the Lithuanian Parateam, we believe in the power of resilience, determination, and teamwork. This week, we were honored to welcome Osvaldas Bareikis, a true embodiment of these values, to our office in Vilnius. Osvaldas, a bronze medalist in Judo at this year's Paralympics in Paris, shared his inspiring journey with our team. From his daily training routines to overcoming challenges, he emphasized the importance of setting clear goals and maintaining a strong mindset. His personal story is a reminder that success is not just about winning but about pushing your limits and striving to be the best version of yourself, both in sports and in life. We’re proud to offer our team unique opportunities to engage with such inspirational athletes and learn valuable lessons that extend beyond the workplace.

Career fairs provide a fantastic opportunity for in-person engagement, but there's something especially valuable about participating in student career fairs. It’s a chance to connect with the future generation of talents , understand their expectations, and, of course, share the career opportunities we have to offer.

Not only did we enjoy letting attendees take the 'driver’s seat' in exploring our industry, but we also gained valuable insights into the aspirations and challenges of tomorrow's professionals. These interactions help us better align our opportunities with the evolving needs of the next workforce generation. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth – we’re excited about the future and look forward to seeing where these connections lead!

As the holiday season approaches, so do the pre-holiday sales events, such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the rapidly growing in the e-commerce world 11.11 sale. What was once a single-day event has now expanded into a month-long shopping frenzy, putting unprecedented pressure on logistics and supply chains. As a logistics company, we understand the complexity and urgency that this extended shopping period brings, and we are here to ensure your business is ready to handle the surge. The surge in consumer demand during this time creates significant challenges for logistics operations. Shipping networks face immense strain with the sudden spike in orders, while managing product returns also requires highly efficient reverse logistics processes. Moreover, labor shortages further complicate operations as companies rush to scale their workforce to meet the heightened demand. In this dynamic environment, a reliable logistics partner is essential. With Girteka, you gain access to a well-prepared team, a vast fleet, and advanced technology to keep your supply chain moving smoothly. Whether it's managing increased freight volumes or ensuring timely international and domestic full truckload (FTL) deliveries, even on short notice, we are here to support your operations throughout Black Friday and beyond.

Empowering future professionals and sharing insights into our business is key to growing young talents. That’s why we’re proud to have participated in Profadienis 2024 — a dynamic event that brought together students from across Lithuania to tackle real-world business challenges. As part of this initiative, Girteka provided students the opportunity to test their skills in business case analysis, strengthening competencies in areas such as finance, customer service, and leadership. Through teamwork and problem-solving in realistic scenarios, participants gained hands-on experience in navigating today’s fast-paced, tech-driven business environment. Involvement in such events is essential for us, as it not only contributes to the growth of young talent but also helps bridge the gap between academia and real business practices. By sharing our expertise and industry insights, we are ensuring that the next generation is better prepared to thrive in the evolving job market.

When it comes to the advantages of being the bigger player in road transportation, we’re not just moving goods efficiently — we’re setting the standards. As our CEO, Jeroen Eijsink, explains in the recent interview for DVZ Deutsche Verkehrs-Zeitung, our ability to scale allows us to offer significant benefits to our clients: “We offer economies of scale. In the transport sector, companies want to reduce their overall costs by using as few suppliers as possible in order to achieve greater control and better quality. To do this, they need a partner who has the right size and can manage it.” By leveraging our size, we provide solutions that help simplify operations and improve quality for our customers. At the same time, we're committed to using our scale to drive positive changes, particularly in addressing the challenges of sustainability and logistics innovation.

Switching to alternative fuels might sound daunting, but it’s often more straightforward than expected. Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel is becoming a popular choice, thanks to its ability to significantly reduce emissions while being fully compatible with modern diesel trucks (EURO 6 standard). It works seamlessly with existing diesel engines, allowing logistics companies to adopt a more sustainable fuel without needing costly modifications. However, HVO does come with its own challenges, such as higher production costs. For a deeper dive into HVO, its market dynamics, and its real-world potential, check out our latest newsletter issue.
