5 January , 2026  

First Logistics Company (FLC), a leader in grain transportation by rail, has demonstrated growth in freight traffic for the third consecutive year. In particular, in 2025, it increased the transportation of agricultural products by 8.1% and construction materials by 6.8% compared to 2024, according to the company’s press service.

“A year of challenges, a year of tension, a year of working in conditions of full-scale war. And at the same time, another year in which we proved that development is possible even in the most difficult conditions,” the company wrote on its Facebook page.

PLK specified that in 2025, it transported 2.26 million tons (48.7%) of grain cargo and 1.16 million tons (51.3%) of inert materials. Of this, 900,000 tons were delivered to Ukrainian seaports and 200,000 tons to the land border with the EU.

As the company noted, these results were made possible by the work of the team, the trust of customers and partners, and the defenders of Ukraine, who ensure the ability to work in wartime conditions.

PLC expressed its conviction that in 2026 it will be able to achieve even greater results — already in the conditions of recovery and development of a peaceful Ukraine.

First Logistics Company is one of the leaders in the Ukrainian market for the transportation of grain crops by rail. It cooperates with international traders ADM, Bunge, CHS, NCH, Louis Dreyfus, Glencore, Cargill, and others. It has its own rolling stock of over a thousand railway cars and leased cars of various modifications.

PLC provides a full range of services in the field of freight transportation by rail and is part of the MS Capital holding. MS Capital also includes Ukraine’s largest Audi dealership, Audi Center Odessa South, the Avtostrada group of companies, the Pryluky Agricultural Company, and the Bekhivsky Granite Quarry.

According to YouControl, the founder and beneficiary of First Logistics Company is Maxim Shkil.
