Murska Transport d.o.o., based in Murska Sobota, has been providing high-quality logistics services for over three decades, including the delivery of locally produced food. With a modern vehicle fleet, dual-temperature transport options, and warehousing capacity, the company plays a key role in the supply chain for fresh, local food—especially for small producers, cooperatives, and food businesses in eastern Slovenia.
Local food producers often face challenges in organising efficient distribution of fresh and temperature-sensitive goods such as milk, meat, and vegetables. In rural areas especially, logistics is frequently improvised, which can affect product quality and the competitiveness of smaller suppliers.
Murska Transport d.o.o. offers solutions tailored to the needs of local suppliers and customers. Its fleet of 18 vehicles includes specialised transport options for temperature-sensitive goods, such as vans and trucks equipped with dual-temperature cooling systems (+5 °C / –20 °C), ensuring safe and reliable delivery of food products. Deliveries are carried out up to five times a week on the Murska Sobota – Maribor – Celje route, connecting local producers with retailers, public institutions, and other clients. The company thus serves a wide range of customers—from small farms like Majer Šinko in Murska Sobota to larger cooperatives such as Agraria Koper.
In addition to reliable transport services, Murska Transport d.o.o. operates a modern high-bay warehouse in the northern industrial zone of Murska Sobota, covering 5,000 m² with a capacity of 1,500 euro pallets, plus an additional 500 pallets in a heated area. The warehouse complies with the highest safety and hygiene standards, operating under HACCP and IFS systems. Services offered include short- and long-term storage, order picking, transshipment, regional and international distribution, and rental of storage units—either self-managed or operated by the company. Special care is given to sensitive goods, including animal feed, for which the company holds a phytosanitary permit and follows strict safety protocols. Clients benefit from fully customised logistics solutions, including secured storage and forklift handling.
The company facilitates sustainable and efficient connections between local producers and regional markets. Its logistics support significantly reduces food waste, maintains product quality, and strengthens short supply chains. In doing so, Murska Transport d.o.o. enhances access to local food for consumers and contributes to the vitality of the local economy.
The Murska Transport model is replicable in other regions where support for local food logistics is needed. The key lies in building strong partnerships and investing in well-equipped vehicles and warehouses.

Logistics centre:The company operates a modern 5,500 m² high-bay warehouse, offering flexible services such as short- and long-term storage, transshipment, order picking, distribution, and rental of storage units. This is especially valuable for local producers without their own infrastructure.
Reliability and flexibility: Beyond transport and storage, Murska Transport offers vehicle rental for self-managed deliveries, giving small producers greater operational independence and control over distribution. Available for rent are smaller vehicles like the Volkswagen Caddy, cargo vans, and refrigerated trailers.
Urgent and just-in-time transport:The company provides fast, on-demand deliveries and just-in-time logistics, which are critical for local producers dealing with highly perishable goods or seasonal peaks (e.g. fresh vegetables, fruit, dairy). This enables small suppliers to effectively meet the needs of restaurants, retailers, and cooperatives where timing is essential.
Tailored transport solutions: Murska Transport offers fully customised transport services to suit specific client needs—from the type of goods to preferred delivery time windows. This is particularly important for local producers with varying production volumes, seasonal fluctuations, and the need for a personalised logistics approach.
