With a mission to bridge tradition and innovation, the World Transport Overseas (WTO) Group is charting a clear path toward becoming a truly global logistics provider. In this exclusive interview, Managing Director Bogdan Gavrilović discusses the company’s ambitious Vision 2030 strategy, its latest international expansions, and its upcoming appearance at one of the industry’s leading trade fairs in Munich.
What are your key goals for the upcoming period, and how do you see your company’s role in the future of the transport industry in the region?
At WTO, we continuously merge tradition with innovation, offering tailored logistics solutions that help our clients navigate challenges with ease.
But we don’t stop there. Our goal is to evolve into a truly global logistics company—an ambition we are actively pursuing through our Vision 2030 strategic plan, which we’ve previously introduced in this magazine.
By expanding our reach, embracing cutting-edge technology, and remaining committed to sustainability, we are steadily growing to meet the needs of our clients around the world. With a strong customer-centric approach, we’re dedicated to delivering efficient and reliable logistics solutions on a global scale.
Your company recently opened offices in Montenegro and the U.S., strengthening your international presence. What were the key factors behind the decision to expand into these markets, and what opportunities do you see in these regions?
WTO USA, Inc. was officially launched at the Delmar Drive Business Campus, part of the Folcroft West Business Park. This strategic location—just minutes from Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) and Interstate 95—significantly boosts our capabilities in ocean freight, fast and secure air cargo, and efficient road transport solutions throughout the United States and Canada.
Opening this office is a vital step in realising our Vision 2030 strategy, as it positions us in one of the world’s key logistics hubs.
WTO plans to open a representative office in Germany by the end of this year
We’re proud to have Raymond Knott at the helm of our U.S. operations. With decades of experience and a strong reputation as one of the nation’s leading logistics professionals, Mr Knott is a perfect fit for our global team. His leadership will be crucial to ensuring our success in the region, and we warmly welcome him to the WTO family.
In addition to the U.S., we’ve recently opened an office in Montenegro, further strengthening our regional footprint. Vuko Jablan has been appointed Managing Director of WTO Montenegro. While Montenegro may be a small country, it holds great strategic importance for our regional growth due to its location and connectivity. We see significant potential in this new office.
How significant is your participation at the Transport & Logistic 2025 trade fair in Munich, and what can clients and partners expect?
We are proud to announce that WTO will be exhibiting at Transport & Logistic 2025—the world’s leading trade fair for logistics, mobility, IT, and supply chain management. The event will take place from 2 to 5 June 2025 at the Messe München exhibition centre in Munich.
This marks our consecutive appearance at the fair, and it’s especially noteworthy that our stand will host representatives from all 15 countries where WTO operates. We warmly invite our esteemed clients and partners to visit us at Stand 403 in Hall B2.
This event offers a unique opportunity to explore the latest industry trends, discuss innovative solutions, and strengthen our collaborations.
