Gebrüder Weiss expands its presence in Turkey

The transport and logistics service provider Gebrüder Weiss has opened a new location in Mersin, expanding its network in Turkey, after Istanbul and Izmir.

Mersin is a central logistics hub on the Mediterranean Sea for shipments to the Caucasus, the Middle East, and Central Asia, and “an important freight handling facility for transports between Asia and Europe.”

“Favourable transport connections to the Mediterranean region, as well as the proximity to industrial operations in the hinterland, are all advantages offered by the new location,” commented Wolfram Senger-Weiss, CEO of Gebrüder Weiss.

The Turkish town is also connected to the northern economic centres of Kahramanmaras, Konya and Kayseri, from which mainly textile and agricultural products, chemical industry and mechanical engineering are exported.

“In addition to air and sea freight services, we also offer local customers pharmaceutical and multimodal transports, as well as warehouse logistics and customs clearance,” stated Çiler Keskinel, country manager of air & sea Turkey at Gebrüder Weiss.

Moreover, Turkey serves an important gateway function on the ‘Middle Corridor’ of the New Silk Road towards Central Asia and China, offering an alternative to the transports via the Northern Corridor through Russia, which runs from Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan to China, with a transit time between 35 and 45 days, as the route also crosses the Caspian Sea.

“We have our own locations in most of the countries along the Middle Corridor and are familiar with the local legal and cultural particulars in these regions,” said Senger-Weiss, who added that there is being observed an increased demand from the company’s customers in this route.
