Gebrüder Weiss expands connections on the New Silk Road

Gebrüder Weiss is expanding its transport connections on the New Silk Road for the movement of goods between Europe, Turkey, and China, to face the steady increase in demand.

The Austria-headquartered company said it focuses on routes along the Middle Corridor of the historic trade route that runs through Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan to China.

This route is geographically shorter and links up directly with services that Gebrüder Weiss operates every day between West and South-East Europe, Turkey and Tbilisi (Georgia), according to a statement.

The company’s logistics centers in Tbilisi and Almaty (Kazakhstan) will in the future serve as hubs for the transport of goods, where they will then be transported by road, sea or rail along the New Silk Road, among other routes, to countries in Central Asia or even as far as China.

“We expect demand for road transports to increase as China re-opens its borders, having closed them as a result of the coronavirus. The fact that we have long-term contracts with reliable regional partners means that we can offer our customers sufficient cargo space, regular services and acceptable transport times,” commented Thomas Moser, director and regional manager of the Black Sea/CIS at Gebrüder Weiss.
