Gebrüder Weiss to take over Turkish forwarding company

The international transport and logistics service provider Gebrüder Weiss will take over the Istanbul-based company 3S Transport & Logistics on 1 January 2022.

The Turkish forwarding company specialises in partial load transports between Turkey and its key trading partner Germany. With this step, Gebrüder Weiss Turkey is therefore doubling its transport volume and “boosting itself as a transport player with Germany, Austria and Switzerland.”

The acquisition also entails that 22 employees of 3S Transport & Logistics will move under the umbrella of Gebrüder Weiss Turkey, as well as the establishment of an operational location in the Düsseldorf area with seven employees.

Thomas Moser, Director and Regional Manager Black Sea/CIS at Gebrüder Weiss stated that 3S Transport & Logistics acquisition will strengthen the position of the company’s location in Istanbul as a strategic anchor, “linking Europe and Asia and the New Silk Road.”

“Our customers will have the benefit of access to a much broader range of services, and our employees have new prospects for the future,” said Ilhami Seval and Sehel Zenbil, the two former Managing Directors of 3S Transport & Logistics, who will be both on hand to support Gebrüder Weiss Turkey as consultants during the integration process.

Gebrüder Weiss has had a presence in Turkey since 2012 and currently has locations in Istanbul and Izmir. Its main activities include partial load transports as well as air and sea freight services.
