Militzer & Münch further expanded its position on the Kazakhstan market in 2022; forwarding company M&M Kazakhstan as well as EMEX, the Militzer & Münch courier, express, and parcel (CEP) service, were able to achieve encouraging results this year, thanks to new projects and new customers.
The M&M Kazakhstan team successfully executed various projects in the solar sector this year, thus contributing to the positive development of the ME/CA (Middle East / Central Asia) region – although, due to sanctions, the logistic processes in the Eurasian Economic Union are becoming more complex.
“The current political situation also affects trade, and transport routes are changing”, says Nikolaus Kohler, Regional Managing Director Middle East / Central Asia, Business Development Switzerland, M&M Militzer & Münch International Holding AG. “We are pleased to see M&M Kazakhstan successfully mastering the challenges of the Kazakhstan market, and we are confident that the company will continue on its steady course in the future.”

The EMEX results are impressive, too: Spurred by the ongoing boom in e-commerce, the Militzer & Münch courier and express service in Kazakhstan was able to further expand its customer base this year, and now handles more than 100,000 parcels per month nationwide.
And EMEX is investing in its vehicle fleet: In response to the growing demand for parcel services, the number of courier vehicles at the twelve branch offices in the country has been more than doubled. Thus, almost 50 courier vehicles are now underway on the roads of Kazakhstan, branded with the logos of EMEX and partner FedEx.
“We owe our success not least to our strong team, whose commitment has made this vigorous development possible in the first place,” says Tatyana Vorobyeva, Managing Director of EMEX. “We want to continue on that path: Our goal is to handle 150,000 parcels a month in autumn.”
In view of the twofold good news, M&M Group Management Speaker Alexei Kovalenko and Nikolaus Kohler got an on-site impression by visiting the freight forwarder and the courier and express service at their headquarters in Almaty this summer. On this occasion, EMEX was able to welcome the guests in the recently redesigned reception area of the headquarters.
Says Nikolaus Kohler: “In both companies, all signs are pointing to growth. We are gratified by the consistently positive results, and wish both teams continued success in achieving their goals!”
