In August 2024, Nyambaatar Purevdorj was appointed Managing Director of the new country unit M&M Militzer and Muench Mongolia LLC. In this interview, he talks about the Mongolian logistics market, the development of Militzer & Münch’s business in his country, and why logistics is his passion.
Mr. Purevdorj, in August last year you took on your new role, becoming one of the youngest Managing Directors of the Militzer & Münch Group at the age of 33. How have you been getting on in your first few months in the job?
As this is my first position as Managing Director, I have gained a lot of new experiences in the last few months. It was a big challenge at the beginning, but it has also been a very fulfilling task from the outset. I am grateful to my superiors and colleagues for providing me with valuable support during this time. Friends and family often describe me as a passionate person. Being passionate helps me to overcome all the challenges I face in my new role.
How would you describe the Mongolian logistics market?
Compared to the markets of the major global powers, Mongolia is a smaller market but offers numerous untapped opportunities. There are several well-established routes into and out of the country that importers and exporters are keen to use. Mongolia’s most important trade partners are its immediate neighbors. Since Mongolia is one of the countries with the largest mineral resources, some of its main export commodities are coal, fluorspar and iron ore, as well as cashmere wool. Key imports are petroleum products, machinery, vehicles, electronic products and foodstuff.
How does Militzer & Münch operate in Mongolia?
Militzer & Münch Germany has had an office in Ulaanbaatar since 1992. So, we have been operating in Mongolia for more than 30 years. So far, we have been particularly strong in the LTL transport sector. In July 2024, we expanded by opening our own country unit, M&M Militzer and Muench Mongolia LLC. Since then, we have expanded our services to include all modes of transport and are no longer limited to road freight and domestic services. We are currently in the process of establishing ourselves as experts in transit through Mongolia, adding this important field to Militzer & Münch’s already extensive global network. One of our main goals is to further expand our market share in traffics to and from Mongolia.
What do you particularly like about your work?
Logistics is a challenging field, and I see it as my profession and my calling at the same time. I always say that there are always opportunities in the midst of chaos.  Most of all, I enjoy the sense of achievement that comes when you overcome particularly difficult obstacles.
At Militzer & Münch, I particularly appreciate the company’s precise decision-making and ability of the M&M Group to take on any project, no matter how difficult. We have a remarkable 145 years of experience in logistics, and it shows. I am very proud to represent Militzer & Münch to our customers and to demonstrate our commitment to excellence. The corporate culture is perfectly aligned with my personal values. What counts here, is clear communication, and recognition for good performance.
