The company that was founded in 1992 has come a long way in the last 30 years and grown into an international company offering end-to-end logistics solutions
Stori D.O.O., Conqueror member in Ljubljana, Slovenia, just celebrated its 30th anniversary. From humble beginnings with four employees, they have gradually grown into a modern international company with fourteen employees. They weren’t able to celebrate due to COVID19 restrictions. Nevertheless, they are looking forward to celebrating their anniversary later this year.
Their latest achievement was to obtain the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certificate. Moreover, they are one of the few freight agencies in Slovenia to acquire this certification on the top-level – AEO F (combined AEO C + AEO S). As a result, they are offering faster customs clearances and quicker handling of requests and goods.
To quote Mr. Leonardo Kos, from the Finance Department of Stori, “Our company was born in 1992 and we have been working since to offer more comprehensive and value-added services. Today we are offering a whole package of logistic solutions including customs clearance for import/export transit, multi-modal logistics, warehousing, cargo insurance, packaging, and INTRASTAT reporting. Professionalism, accuracy, loyalty, reliability, and fast services are some of the values our company tries to uphold.”
Congratulations to Stori D.O.O. and all the best for their upcoming projects!
The shipment that consisted of two heavy presses from the ceramic industry was transported from China to Germany
Sev Stante Overseas SRL, Conqueror member in Genoa and Venice, Italy, recently moved an OOG shipment of two heavy presses. They transported the machinery weighing 102 tonnes each from Guangzhou, China, to Leipzig, Germany. They required break bulk service and FCL service for moving the presses.
Conqueror Genoa & Venice used 3 x 40 HC and 1 x 20 containers for transporting this OOG cargo. Furthermore, they required a special truck with 7 axle lines and a length of 19.70 metres. They also had to hire the largest crane for lifting the heavy machinery.
To quote Mr. Riccardo Stocco, the Managing Director of Sev Stante, “Probably, the most challenging aspect of this project was finding a break bulk departure vessel to accept this heavy cargo and pick up the presses 40 days before the vessel departure. However, as a company with nearly 50 years of experience in international forwarding, our expert team managed to deliver the cargo to its destination on time.”
Congratulations to Sev Stante Overseas for successfully handling this complex shipment!

They shipped the bone marrow required for a transplant by air from Spain to Germany
Airtransa SA, Conqueror member in Barcelona, Spain, has recently moved a lifesaving shipment consisting of human bone marrow. They transported the delicate shipment via air freight from Barcelona to Frankfurt, Germany. The sensitive cargo was sent from the United States to Valencia, Spain, for additional treatment. Afterward, it was sent from Valencia to Madrid by an exclusive truck. Finally, from Madrid, Airtransa exported it to Frankfurt via Barcelona by air.
The shipment required a lot of effort on the part of CQR Barcelona who had to coordinate with different parties like the carrier, terminal, airline, etc. Additionally, they had to confirm with the terminal to not x-ray the cargo because of its delicate nature. For this, they had to obtain a letter from the clinic declaring the sensitivity of the cargo before requesting exemption from an x-ray.
As stated by Dimos Economeas, the Business Development Manager of Airtransa, “It was a complicated operation in terms of timing as there were too many things to consider. Nevertheless, we made it happen! We are delighted to have successfully executed a shipment that could potentially save a life.”
Congratulations to Airtransa for successfully moving this lifesaving shipment!

The cargo consisting of yellow and green lemon and orange slices was moved via Yangtze River Express
Domax Logistics Co Ltd, Conqueror member in Hangzhou, China, moved a delicate perishable shipment. They transported the cargo of slices of oranges and yellow and green lemons from Shanghai to Amsterdam via air freight.
As explained by Mr. Bruce Li, General Manager of Domax Logistics, “Although the concept of transporting perishables seems simple enough, it involves many complications. This is because the slightest loophole in the transportation process could spoil the food products. We believe time is the key factor in these kinds of shipments. For this reason, we made all the preparations round the clock to ensure the delivery professionally and safely. To make sure that the cargo stays fresh and intact, we had to take several things into account like packaging, temperature, humidity, and other factors.”
Additionally, Domax had to provide some specific documentation like Phytosanitary Certificate to the customs authorities. Phytosanitary certificates are issued to indicate that consignments of some regulated articles meet the specified phytosanitary import requirements. It also certifies that the goods conform with the certifying statement of the appropriate model certificate. These include commodities such as plants, bulbs, tubers, or seeds for propagation, fruits and vegetables, cut flowers and branches, grain, and growing medium.
“We are a young enterprise with an experienced team. Most of our staff have more than 10 years experience in the logistics industry. This combined with our precise and exclusive services allows us to efficiently handle delicate and complex shipments like this one,” adds Mr. Li.
Congratulations to Domax Logistics and all the best for their future endeavours!
