Gebrüder Weiss will open a new country organization in Thailand on June 1 to strengthen its market presence in Southeast Asia and expand its network in one of the world’s most economically dynamic regions.
“The new country organization allows us to close a strategic gap and create direct connections to central Asia-Pacific markets for our customers,” said Lothar Thoma, Managing Director Air & Sea at Gebrüder Weiss. “Thailand is an important export location with strong trade links to the US, China, Japan, Australia, and Singapore – markets where we are also represented with locations of our own.”
Cristian Predan, Area Manager South-East Asia at Gebrüder Weiss, commented: “Our employees have many years of experience in international transport management. In the medium term, we are aiming to expand our services in Thailand to include warehouse logistics, with a particular focus on the automotive and high-tech sectors.”
With its entry into the Thai market, Gebrüder Weiss now has an active presence in nine countries across the East and South-East Asia region and Oceania. These include Australia, Greater China, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam. The regional network now spans 35 locations with around 800 employees.
