Delo Group and the Government of the Novosibirsk Region Agree on Joint Development of Transport Infrastructure and Social Initiatives

The Delo Group of Companies and the Government of the Novosibirsk Region have signed a cooperation agreement to jointly develop the region’s transport and logistics potential and advance social initiatives. The document was signed by Alexey Lebedev, CEO of Delo Management Company LLC, and Andrey Travnikov, Governor of the Novosibirsk Region.

The agreement outlines plans to expand the region’s transport and logistics capabilities, including increasing the efficiency of containerized rail transportation and containerization, assessing opportunities to enlarge terminal infrastructure, developing multimodal services, enhancing work with shippers, and coordinating efforts with regional authorities to create new logistics products and improve existing ones.

The parties also intend to exchange experience in implementing practices aimed at improving the demographic situation in the region. For the past three years, Delo Group has operated a comprehensive corporate demographic program aimed at improving the quality of life for employees with children, strengthening corporate social support measures, and contributing to the implementation of Russia’s demographic policy. Since the program’s launch, more than 2,000 employees have benefited from it, more than 500 children have been born into employee families, and 75 families have received corporate family capital of one million rubles upon the birth of a third or subsequent child.

“Delo Group systematically invests in logistics efficiency across the country. This agreement creates the foundation for the comprehensive development of container services and terminal infrastructure in the Novosibirsk Region. It will strengthen the region’s role as a transport hub, enhance supply chain reliability, and reduce delivery times,” said Alexey Lebedev, CEO of Delo Management Company LLC.

“Many call the Novosibirsk Region a ‘container cluster’ because every key player in this industry operates here — and, hopefully, all of them are implementing or planning investment projects to expand capacity and introduce new technologies for handling container cargo. This includes Delo Group. They have long operated at the Kleshchikha station, but the site is running out of space. They are therefore considering building a new terminal elsewhere. This is exactly what today’s agreement addresses, and we are now working on identifying the most suitable location,” said Andrey Travnikov, Governor of the Novosibirsk Region, noting the region’s status as a major Russian container hub.

In the Novosibirsk Region, Delo Group owns the Kleshchikha container terminal, a key hub in Western Siberia that connects Novosibirsk with Moscow, St. Petersburg, Zabaykalsk, Rostov-on-Don, and the Far East via regular services. In the first ten months of 2025, the Group accounted for more than 25% of the region’s profitable rail container transportation. < Back to list
