On 1 August, Alexander Eberharter assumed the management of the West region for the international transport and logistics company Gebrüder Weiss.
He succeeds Hannes Mayr, who is retiring after a remarkable 41-year career with the company. Mayr joined Gebrüder Weiss in 1983 and served in various management roles.
“Hannes Mayr and his team have made a significant contribution to the success of Gebrüder Weiss in our home region. Thanks to his commitment and professionalism, we continue to be the number one logistics partner for the majority of industrial and commercial companies,” stated Wolfram Senger-Weiss, CEO of Gebrüder Weiss.
The West region of Gebrüder Weiss includes the Austrian states of Vorarlberg and Tyrol, as well as Switzerland. Salzburg and Carinthia were added to this region at the beginning of 2024.
Eberharter has been with Gebrüder Weiss for 22 years. After holding several management positions at the Hall in Tyrol site, he became the branch manager in Nuremberg in 2017 and later oversaw the company’s strategic business development in Germany.
Now, he manages 1,100 employees across 25 logistics locations, with plans to expand six sites in the coming years: Pratteln near Basel, Wolfurt in Vorarlberg, Salzburg, Hall and Langkampfen in Tyrol, and Maria Saal in Carinthia.
“The local economies in the western region are very different, but they do have one thing in common: industrial and commercial companies need a logistics provider nearby that gives them access to a global transportation network with high-quality standards. We meet this need by tailoring the services of each branch specifically to the needs of regional consignors and integrating them into our global network,” states Eberharter.
