- Globaltrans Investment Plc Globaltrans Investment PLC (GLTR.IL) operates as a freight rail transportation group, providing rail freight services, railcar leasing, and ancillary logistics support primarily in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The company transports key commodities including metallurgical products, petroleum products and oil, coal, mining products, and construction materials via its fleet of gondola cars, rail tank cars, and other specialized railcars; it also offers rail vehicle rentals such as locomotives, wagons, tank wagons, and containers, alongside infrastructure management and block train operations. Globaltrans Investment Plc maintains a fleet comprising approximately 66,000 units, predominantly owned, with operations centered on serving blue-chip clients in metals, oil and gas, mining, and industrial sectors across Russia, which accounts for over 98% of sales, alongside limited activities in Estonia and Ukraine.
Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Cyprus with key operational addresses in Moscow, Russia, and more recently Al Sila Tower in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, the company employs around 1,800 staff and focuses on efficient cargo flow management through a centralized dispatching system to optimize fleet utilization and service reliability.
In April 2025, Globaltrans Investment Plc completed the sale of its five wholly-owned operating subsidiaries in Russia and Kazakhstan—BaltTransServis, GTI Management, New Forwarding Company, Ural Wagonrepair Company, and Adaptive Capital Ltd.—to KSP Capital Asset Management, the manager of the Transatlant fund, for USD 767 million in Russian roubles, marking a major strategic divestment of core assets. The proceeds funded a special dividend of RUB 335 per ordinary share, approved in April 2025 and payable to shareholders of record as of June 18, 2025. Additionally, the company voluntarily delisted its global depositary receipts from the Astana International Exchange in August 2025, while subsidiaries and affiliates repurchased over 28% of its share capital between October 2024 and January 2025 amid market challenges.
