Kiss: On the board, I am responsible for Marketing and Human Resources, as well as investment projects and the holdings in our subsidiaries. Pavel Pokorny is responsible for Finance and IT. Martin Horinek, who joined Metrans a few years before I did, heads the operational side. We are a team pursuing success. Looking towards 2020, I would say that we aim to be larger, faster, better, more efficient and more digital. Along with our clients, we seek to maintain profitable growth. We are therefore continually seeking fresh solutions and developing ideas to enable us to back our claim to perform with even higher quality.
PoHM: What really distinguishes Metrans’ contain- er block train system and which challenges do you foresee for multi-modal transport in the next few years?
Kiss: Metrans is the simple answer to the complexity of multi-modal transport: Close to our customers, op- erating port-to-door, and with all-embracing process management. For all this, our five hub terminals are one of our real assets. We aim to leave port rapidly and shift freight on into the hinterland, so that custom- ers receive their goods as rapidly as possible and feel well supported. If the customer wants, we offer an all-inclusive package, i.e., one featuring no more than one key-account contact.
PoHM: Is growth on the traditional Metrans routes still feasible or are you looking towards new re-
gional markets? Are services to China along the New Silk Road of interest there?
Kiss: For us, Europe has the major advantage that in al- most all regions, it is still growing. Nevertheless, con- ditions for growth vary from region to region. Naturally, we keep an eye on developments in other markets, one of these being the New Silk Road. Here too, we are right alongside our customers. ■
