The company has set up a network of representative offices throughout Russia and abroad (Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Finland, Germany and China) and provides third-party logistics (3PL) services to its clients in Russia, the countries of the CIS and Eastern Europe. The Group is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Russia and consists of three companies, which closely cooperate with each other: Eurosib-Logistics (Freight Forwarding Services), Eurosib SPb-Transportation Systems (Rail Freight Operator Services) and Eurosib-Terminal (terminal, warehousing services and containerized shipments).

Eurosib is engaged in shipping, handling, warehousing and distribution of general cargo (including oversized and extra-weight loads), bulk cargo (including minerals, chemical products and metal industry products); shipping of car kits and car components, paper and cardboard; containerized cargo.
