Company history

BATIM International Transportation and Freight Forwarding was established as a private partnership in 1994 in Nowy Sącz. Our core business was freight forwarding. In April 1995, we relocated to nearby Stary Sącz. In 1997, due to changes in the Commercial Law, the private partnership was transformed into a general partnership and the BATIM logo was registered for the current company. Between 1997 and 1998, the company provided mainly transport services to the German and Italian markets, while in mid-1998 we added Great Britain to our offer, which has since then become our leading market.

Batim provides transport and freight forwarding services using its own or hired fleet.

During its twenty-seven years in business, BATIM has grown from a partnership with a few employees to a large company employing nearly 1,000 people, including 892 drivers. Thanks to the great commitment of all employees and the adopted business strategy, it can effectively compete not only in the domestic but also in the European market

At the heart of our success lies excellent quality of our services and the state-of-the-art fleet comprising SCANIA and MERCEDES EURO 6 vehicles. All units are fully equipped with telematics devices from the Belgian company Wabco-Transics, allowing free data transfer between the central office and the driver.

In the years 2008-2015, our presence in western markets was developing rapidly, increasing the company's prestige as a transport and freight forwarding services provider. During this period, the company gained wide recognition, as evidenced by numerous distinctions, nominations and awards. BATIM has an established position on the Polish and EU transport market and is perceived as a serious player.

Batim works with some of Europe's largest and most significant logistics operators and is highly regarded for exemplary partnership, high quality of service and punctual deliveries.

In 2015, the decision was made to build a modern office building, Central Office, with the main aim of increasing comfort and efficiency at work..

Our plans for the next few years include: fleet expansion, constant improvement of our service, conveying our knowledge to the next generation of drivers by creating a driving school for professional truck drivers and providing a friendly, comfortable and satisfying work environment for our employees.
