IMS with the highest transport volume in 2011

Vienna, 4. January 2012 - 2011 IMS has handled the highest volume ever

With nearly 145,000 TEUs handled and a consolidated turnover of EUR 45 million the fiscal year 2011 comes to an end for IMS.
Additional 14,000 TEUs were handled in the train management for other combi operators.

"We may have less in absolute numbers compared to 2010, around 6 million less in sales and 32,000 TEUs, but we have decided in April 2011, to divide us from the train management for other combi operator, since this branch was very lossy.", explains Wolfgang Tomassovich, CEO of IMS. "Adjusted we had, in comparison to 2010, an increase of around 20%, the highest volume since the establishment of IMS in 1993."

From the perspective of combined transport, 2012 will be certainly more difficult than 2011. Based on the current Euro-crisis and the loss in purchasing power in some EU countries, 2012 determined to be a difficult year. First tendencies were already apparent beginning in fall of 2011, the import was clearly in decline.

"At the margin trend I see for 2012 is no improvement," continued Tomassovich, "some of our market companion try, as also as 2011, to generate with low prices the volumes, which in view of the massive losses of these companies and the underlying shareholders, will harm the economy and can harm the private companies, also.
