TLS-Cargo GmbH – High-performance project, freight and groupage logistics for Central Asia and key markets across Europe.
Central Asia is gaining increasing importance as a strategic economic and logistics hub between Europe and China. Companies from industry, energy, mechanical engineering, technology and trade require reliable transport solutions to a region where infrastructure conditions, customs regulations and transit routes demand advanced logistics expertise.
TLS-Cargo GmbH specializes in professional transport services from Germany, Switzerland and across Europe to all Central Asian countries:
- Kazakhstan
- Uzbekistan
- Kyrgyzstan
- Tajikistan
Together, these countries form the Central Asian region—a strategic growth market with rising import volumes, ongoing infrastructure projects and increasing demand for European machinery, industrial equipment, spare parts and technical goods.
As a Swiss freight forwarder with strong Eurasian expertise, we provide groupage transport (LTL), full truck loads (FTL), air freight, project logistics and oversized transport solutions to all Central Asian destinations—reliable, compliant and door-to-door.
1. Why Central Asia Is Becoming Increasingly Important for European CompaniesCentral Asia is developing into one of the most dynamic economic regions worldwide. Rich in natural resources, the region is investing heavily in energy, construction, infrastructure, digitalization and industrial production.
Key Import Hubs in Central Asia
- Almaty & Astana (Kazakhstan)
- Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara (Uzbekistan)
- Bishkek & Osh (Kyrgyzstan)
- Dushanbe & Khujand (Tajikistan)
For European exporters, this creates a stable and expanding market—but one that requires experienced logistics partners due to its complexity.
TLS-Cargo delivers fully integrated transport chains on these routes, tailored to the specific needs of industry, trade and mechanical engineering.
2. Groupage Transport (LTL) to Central Asia – Flexible, Efficient and ReliableNot every shipment fills a complete truck or container. This is why groupage transport (LTL) is one of the most frequently used solutions for Central Asia.
