Ústí nad Labem sits on the D8 motorway right between Prague and Dresden — Saxony is closer from here than Prague.

Between Prague and Dresden

The D8 runs from Prague via Ústí nad Labem and the Ore Mountains to Saxony. At the Krásný Les–Breitenau crossing it joins the German A17, and Dresden is then about 30 km away. Shipments to Saxony and on to northern Germany take the shortest route from Ústí.

Industry and the river port

Ústí is home to the chemical company Spolchemie, and the surrounding area has engineering and building-materials production. The city has an Elbe port where cargo is transhipped from barges. We carry machinery with crane loading and other goods on pallets.

Děčín, Teplice and Litoměřice

Ústí, Děčín, Teplice and Litoměřice form one economic region. We combine shipments from these towns in one vehicle, so even smaller volumes are cost-effective. In winter we allow for the mountain section of the D8 across the Ore Mountains.

Pallet transport from Ústí nad Labem
