Who We Are

30 Years of Cold-Chain
Excellence

Founded in 1994, Alex International Transport is Romania's leading specialist in temperature-controlled road logistics. For three decades we have built our entire operation around one purpose: keeping pharmaceutical and food products safe, compliant, and on time.

Today we operate as part of Yusen Logistics Group — a global top-20 third-party logistics provider present in 47 countries worldwide — following Yusen's acquisition of Walden Group. This gives our clients the intimacy of a local specialist with the infrastructure, technology, and investment of a world-class logistics network.

Our headquarters in Bucharest serves as the hub for a nationwide and international temperature-controlled road network covering the EU, Balkans, and CIS corridors.
