Rhenus launches new warehouse in Kaunas
On 18 May 2026, Rhenus Group launched cross-docking operations at its new warehouse in Kaunas.
The 2,500 sqm warehouse will be used for transshipment of deliveries within Lithuania, as well as groupage shipments to other Baltic countries. Kaunas’ strategic location at the crossroad of major transport routes significantly enhances transport capacity in the region and optimizes delivery times. With the new cross-dock warehouse starts daily departures service to Germany, connecting Kaunas with Hilden (European Hub Rhenus Overland).
The Rhenus Group has been present in Lithuania since 1990 and has been steadily expanding its services in the market. Currently, the company conducts logistics operations in two locations: Vilnius and Kaunas. The 17,000 sqm warehouse in Vilnius combines the functions of a logistics center and a cross-dock warehouse for groupage, LTL, and FTL shipments. The newly opened warehouse in Kaunas perfectly complements existing operations and optimizes the distribution network in the region.
“The newly opened facility in Kaunas is a cross-dock warehouse with a dedicated racking area for storing more than 2,000 EUR pallets. This location will streamline distribution and improve delivery times to Lithuania and the other Baltic countries. This is another strategic step in the market, increasing the competitiveness of Rhenus’s offering to our customers,” emphasizes Audrius Sungaila, General Manager, Rhenus Logistics Lithuania.
Lithuania’s main overall economic and trade partners are Poland and Germany. Both markets consistently rank as the top destinations for Lithuanian export and the largest sources of import. Trade, investment, and business cooperation, reflects in growing expectations for the road transport services market in this direction. Lithuania is also Poland’s most important trading partner among the Baltic states.
“Modern logistics must flexibly respond to business needs, and sometimes even anticipate them. Thanks to the new location in Kaunas, we will integrate Lithuania even more effectively into the Rhenus international groupage network. Daily, direct connections via the German hub will ensure efficient distribution to Western Europe, while the expanding connections via the Polish hub will further strengthen service to Southern European destinations,” comments Paweł Trębicki, Managing Director of Rhenus Road Freight – Central East Region.
The Rhenus Group has a strong road distribution network in Europe, the new investment highlights Rhenus Baltics direction with its business potential, as important component for the development of Rhenus Overland.
