Chinese New Year (CNY), which this year falls on 17 February, is the most important and most ceremonious holiday in Chinese culture. However, its rhythm affects not only social life in China, but also, in a very tangible way, the functioning of the global economy. The scale of China’s impact on global supply chains means that the effects of this period are felt on all continents. It is worth remembering that China is currently a key non-EU import partner for European markets, including the Central and Eastern Europe region. It is precisely this structural dependence that makes the impact of Chinese New Year clearly visible in our region. Rohlig SUUS Logistics operates through its subsidiaries, among others, in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Slovenia, which is why we observe these dependencies very clearly in our day-to-day operational activities.

As of 1 February 2026, the Polish National e-Invoicing System (KSeF) applies as the mandatory system for issuing and receiving invoices for entities registered in Poland. KSeF is a central government platform used to handle structured electronic invoices. 

Rohlig SUUS Logistics, a leading logistics operator in the CEE region, is further expanding its cooperation with Hisense Europe. The company launched a dedicated warehouse for spare parts used in household appliances and consumer electronics, providing end-to-end services, including storage, order picking, co-packing, and customs clearance. The project incorporates several client-specific solutions that support business growth and strengthen competitive advantage.

Budapest Airport is now one of the fastest-growing air cargo hubs in Central and Eastern Europe, and its role in regional supply chains has expanded significantly in recent years. After surpassing nearly 300,000 tonnes of handled freight in 2024, the airport continues to grow at a strong pace, and current projections indicate it may approach 400,000 tonnes this year. Such momentum is not merely the result of operational efficiency – it reflects Budapest’s strategic strengthening as one of the most important junctions linking Asia, especially China, with Central and Eastern Europe. The airport already outperforms many neighbouring facilities in terms of cargo volumes, supported by infrastructural development and an increasingly mature local logistics market.

As the Christmas holiday period approaches, we present below an overview of the last pre-Christmas and first post-Christmas departures of Rohlig SUUS Logistics’ international groupage lines.

Slovakia is one of the most industrialised economies in Europe. Manufacturing accounts for over 30% of the country’s GDP, with the automotive sector as its main pillar, generating around 9.2% of GDP and nearly half of all industrial revenues. Major automotive manufacturers such as Volkswagen, Kia, Stellantis and Jaguar Land Rover already operate in Slovakia. In 2024, Slovak factories produced close to 1 million cars, giving the country a world-leading position in terms of vehicles manufactured per capita.

Organization of crane services for loading oversized cargo onto trucks, unloading operations at the port yard and delivering shipments alongside the vessel as well as customs clearance – this was the scope of Rohlig SUUS Logistics’ support provided for large and heavy components of a gas separation installation.

On October 18th, a fire broke out at the cargo terminal of Dhaka international airport (DAC), the capital of Bangladesh, affecting the section handling import freight. This incident is causing delays in air transport to and from Bangladesh due to a significant reduction in both cargo and passenger flight operations. As a result, an increase in freight rates can be expected.

Booking an entire truck isn’t always necessary to ensure fast and secure delivery of larger shipments. When your cargo exceeds standard groupage limits but doesn’t require a full truckload, the most suitable solution is PTL – Part Truck Load.
