Gebrüder Weiss is expanding its network in Australia with the opening of a new Air & Sea office in Brisbane.
This is now the third location operated by the international logistics company in Australia, following on from Sydney and Melbourne.
The most important transshipment hub in Brisbane is the container port, which plays an important role in international trade with a record throughput of 1.56 million standard containers (2022).
Andrew Antonopoulos, managing director of Australia and New Zealand at Gebrüder Weiss, commented, “Opening a location in Brisbane represents another key step in our efforts to increase our presence in Australia. The services offered here are tailored particularly to customers from the engineering, agriculture and medical equipment sectors.”
He added, “The services include air & sea transports, customs clearance and a customized logistics mix for project orders.”
Most recently, Gebrüder Weiss organised the transport of an innovative solar car from Switzerland to Australia and back for the ETH Zurich’s aCentauri Solar Racing Team. The Swiss team managed to cover a distance of 3,000 km across the Australian outback using nothing but solar power.
Gebrüder Weiss has also plans to open additional locations in the north and west of Australia to provide blanket coverage for the whole continent. The logistics provider also has a foothold in New Zealand with two locations in Auckland and Christchurch, complementing its presence in Australia.
