One year on and changes in the Girteka Group continue. Following the split up of the companies into independent entities back in November 2022, with a more customer-oriented approach, TNDM Trucking, one of the Group’s companies, has changed its leadership. From March 20th, Andrius Ivašauskas has taken the role of CEO of TNDM Trucking from Sigitas Meilūnas, who has develop TNDM Trucking from small 20 mln EUR business into well prospering 100 mln EURO logistics services provider.

Andrius Ivašauskas has lengthy experience in the logistics sector, serving as the Head of Freight Forwarding department at Finėjas and as the CEO of Motusbona, both companies belonging to the Finėjas Group, where he also held the position of a board member. In addition, A. Ivašauskas has more than 14 years of experience in different managerial positions at Luminor and Danske banks.

I am sure that his broad experience in logistics and banking sectors will strengthen our leadership. Together, we can firmly continue on the Group’s path towards becoming one of the TOP 10 logistics companies in Europe,” says Edvardas Liachovičius, CEO of Girteka Group.

TNDM Trucking (formerly known as Girteka Fleet) provides individual dedicated services for transport, spedition, and forwarding companies. The carrier offers tailored transportation services that include dedicated trucks, trailers and drivers for  round-trip deliveries in main European markets, like Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, and Spain. With the flexibility and reliability that comes with the capacity of their fleet, TNDM Trucking supports other logistics companies in stabilizing peaks and meeting the demand for road transportation services.

Now, with a new CEO, the company’s strategy remains the same, yet with a greater focus on strengthening relations with existing partners and fostering new potential areas of services, backed by digital solutions. In this way, TNDM, while operating as an independent company, with own management, fleet, support, and IT functions, greatly contributes to the development of the whole Girteka Group.
