Global logistics provider, Gebrüder Weiss, is reinforcing its position in Southeast Asia with the launch of a new country organization in Thailand on 01JUN25. This strategic move deepens the company’s reach into one of the world’s fastest-growing economic regions. In 2024, Thailand’s exports surged to approximately USD 300 billion, marking a 5% year-on-year increase. The bulk of these exports – 86% – are industrial goods such as electronics, vehicles, machinery, and food products. A dedicated team of 20 professionals based in Bangkok will manage international air and sea freight, customs clearance, and both domestic and cross-border land transport operations.
With its expansion into Thailand, Gebrüder Weiss now operates in nine countries throughout East and Southeast Asia as well as Oceania, including Australia, Greater China, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam. The regional network boasts 35 locations and a workforce of about 800 employees.
Lothar Thoma, Managing Director Air & Sea at Gebrüder Weiss, said: “The new country organization allows us to close a strategic gap and create direct connections to central Asia-Pacific markets for our customers. Thailand is an important export location with strong trade links to the USA, 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, added: “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.”
