JAN 14, 2004 (newstodate): In 2003, Estonian transport and logistics provider IK Speditor Group did not manage to exploit the overall growth in the market.
-We were hampered by several organisational adjustments, so we were not as active sales-wise as we should have been, says Meelis Koitm�e, IK Speditor managing director.
-We will, however, still come out of the year in the black, and remaining among the country's top-six companies we have probably not lost market share, he says.
IK Speditor sees the three Baltic states' entry into the EU as a complex issue:
-There are great potentials, but the change will also generate many and significant challenges to us as to governance, economy and information systems. Also with the entry, revenues from customs clearance that earlier generated some 10 percent of our total revenues will disappear, requiring new types of business to compensate, he says.
IK Speditor employs a total of 20 people in Estonia, plus five in its Latvian subsidiary, and three in the recently established subsidiary in Lithuania.
