Poland has become one of Central Europe’s most important logistics markets. Its geographic position at the crossroads of East-West and North-South European trade lanes, combined with rapidly growing infrastructure investment, makes Polish freight forwarders among the most valuable network partners for IFN members across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Poland’s logistics sector has grown significantly as a result of EU membership, manufacturing investment from Western European and Asian companies, and its role as a primary transshipment hub for goods moving between Western Europe and Eastern European/CIS markets.
For IFN members worldwide, a vetted Polish freight partner is essential for cargo moving to or through Central and Eastern Europe.
Polish freight forwarders handle high volumes on:
Poland sits at the western terminus of the China-Europe rail corridor — the fastest surface transport option connecting Asia to European markets. Rail freight from China arrives in Poland’s logistics hubs before distribution across the EU. Polish freight forwarders with rail freight expertise and China-Europe connections are among the most commercially relevant IFN partners for members handling cross-continental cargo.
Yes. IFN welcomes independent freight forwarding and logistics companies operating in Poland — including companies based in Warsaw, Gdańsk, Gdynia, Kraków, Wrocław, Łódź, Katowice, and Poznań. Polish members are strategically important to IFN given Poland’s position as a Central European logistics hub and its role in the China-Europe rail freight corridor.
Polish IFN members are most active on: intra-EU road freight (Poland to Germany, Netherlands, France, Benelux), China-Europe rail freight via Małaszewicze and Łódź, container freight via Gdańsk and Gdynia ports, and Eastern European distribution connecting Poland to Ukraine, Belarus corridor alternatives, and CIS markets.
