From Bratislava and Trnava your goods are often in Moravia the same day — full load, part load or pallets.

Slovakia is right on our doorstep — we are based near Břeclav, a few minutes from the Lanžhot–Brodské motorway crossing. We can collect a shipment in Bratislava or Trnava in the morning and deliver it anywhere in Moravia in the afternoon.

Where we load in Slovakia — and what comes from where

  • Bratislava — Volkswagen Slovakia (SUVs and bodies for the group), Slovnaft refinery, distribution centres.
  • Trnava — Stellantis plant (Peugeot, Citroën) and its suppliers.
  • Nitra — Jaguar Land Rover plant (Defender, Discovery) and surrounding industrial zones.
  • Žilina — Kia Slovakia in Teplička nad Váhom, automotive suppliers in the Váh valley.
  • Banská Bystrica and central Slovakia — timber, engineering.
  • Košice — U. S. Steel Košice steelworks, IT and electronics; Volvo Cars is building a new plant here.

Route and transit time

From western Slovakia we drive on the D2 via Lanžhot–Brodské, from Žilina and the north via Mosty u Jablunkova or Starý Hrozenkov. Bratislava–Brno is about 130 km, Košice–Brno about 440 km.

Slovak motorway tolls are paid electronically and are included in the price.

How the import works

  1. Send us the supplier's address in Slovakia, quantity and required date.
  2. Within 30 minutes you get a price for the import from Slovakia and a proposed loading date.
  3. During transport you know where the truck is, and we confirm the unloading time the day before.
  4. After delivery you receive the signed CMR consignment note.

Full truckloads and single pallets

For large volumes we arrange a full truck (33 Euro pallets, 24 t). Smaller shipments go as a part load or join a groupage run — you pay only for the space they take. Chilled goods travel in a reefer trailer with monitored temperature.

Documents and customs

Slovakia is in the EU, so goods are not cleared through customs. An invoice and a CMR note are enough.
