Derby Trans Kft

Our History The mission of the Derby Group is to provide the highest quality service in forwarding and logistics for our international partners. Besides meeting or even exceeding the expectations of our clients, a chief goal of ours is to create a stable, long-term working environment for our colleagues, and to ensure, that in addition to the professional challenges, a proper work-life balance is enjoyed by all our employees. László Szvitek Owner, Managing Director Following careful preparations and planning we founded Derby Trans Kft, as a family enterprise in 1996. At that time, we started forwarding with only 2 employees and one 7.5 tonne tatuliner truck. One year later, we took a large step forward, thanks to our collaboration with Chemoldanzas we dealt closely with IBM. Our company used to deliver directly from Székesfehérvár to Frankfurt am Main, Airport. As a result of our high standard of performance and the confidence our partners placed in us, we could expand our fleet with six 7.5 ton trucks in order to serve increased demand. The next milestone was in when we acquired our first 40 tonne vehicle. This year our company was able to accomplish our first 1 Million forwarded kilometres, and we are still very proud of this achievement. As the new millennium dawned upon us, we further enlarged our large capacity fleet, this had grown to eight 40 tonne trucks by the end of 2004 all of which were available for utilisation by our partners. Hungary’s EU accession also happened during this year, which gave us free access to the European international forwarding market, which enabled us to build relationships with well-known and highly respected operators, such as Wallenborn and Kühne & Nagel. As a result of this increased business, our 40 tonne truck fleet grew to 15 vehicles. During the following 13 years of operation we decided, that besides expanding our fleet we needed to diversify our service, thus we implemented our first thermo trailers.
