Our Company was formed in 2004 when a group of like-minded entrepreneurs brought their freight rail businesses together to form Globaltrans, giving it the scale, governance and focus to become one of the leading players in the region.
In 2008, Globaltrans’ founders recognised the benefits of an international listing and undertook an Initial Public Offering on the London Stock Exchange, becoming the first freight rail company serving the CIS cargo flows to be listed internationally. In October 2020 Globaltrans' GDRs were admitted to trading on the Moscow Exchange.
Today, the majority of the Company’s shares are in the hands of the public with Globaltrans’ free float amounting to approximately 55.7% [1] of the issued share capital.
