Schmitz Cargobull Opens Subsidiary in Uzbekistan to Boost Regional Reach

Schmitz Cargobull has established a new subsidiary, Schmitz Cargobull SCA (South Central Asia), in Chirchik near Tashkent, Uzbekistan, as part of its strategy to expand in Central Asia and strengthen customer proximity. The move is aimed at offering tailored support and services to transport companies in Uzbekistan and neighboring markets.

The new location includes a 300 m² (approx. 3,230 ft²) spare parts warehouse and offers sales and display areas for both new and used trailers. The site will support various sectors, including refrigerated and fresh food transport, general cargo, construction, and agriculture. The company aims to generate up to €1 million (approx. $1.1 million) in turnover from spare parts within the first three years.

Customers will have access to comprehensive trailer services, including sales, financing, telematics, service contracts, and spare parts. Schmitz Cargobull also plans to expand its current network of three authorized service partners in Uzbekistan to enhance service accessibility.

“The opening of the subsidiary in Uzbekistan brings us another step closer to our customers in the Central Asia region and fulfils our brand promise ‘We are wherever our customers are’,” said Ralph Kleideiter, Chief Sales Officer of Schmitz Cargobull. “The new location will enable us to meet the needs of transport companies in Uzbekistan and in the neighbouring countries of Turkmenistan and Tajikistan even more effectively.”

Regional Context

This development follows the company’s 2023 subsidiary launch in Kazakhstan and underscores Schmitz Cargobull’s long-term focus on the STAN countries. Freight traffic in Uzbekistan reached 1,521.2 million tonnes in 2024, up over 11% from 2020. Road transport remains dominant, accounting for 92% of the total volume, or 1.4 billion tonnes.

The new Uzbekistan subsidiary reinforces Schmitz Cargobull’s commitment to expanding its global footprint through local support structures in strategically important logistics markets.
