New locations in Australia and New Zealand
Gebrüder Weiss now also Down Under
The transport and logistics company Gebrüder Weiss is opening national subsidiaries in Australia and New Zealand on July 1, 2020. This is the first time the company has been represented in the southern hemisphere.
The future Air & Sea locations are in the Australian cities of Sydney and Melbourne and in Auckland, New Zealand. The company is thus pursuing its global strategy of opening up new markets and expanding its network of locations in the Gebrüder Weiss region of East Asia/Oceania.
Closely networked with import markets
"With our market entry in Australia and New Zealand, we are mainly focusing on import business from Asian, American and European markets," says Michael Zankel, Regional Manager East Asia/Oceania at Gebrüder Weiss. The top trading partners include China, the USA, Japan, Germany and South Korea.
The company is also represented with its own locations in these countries. Vehicles and automotive parts in particular, but also machinery and electronics products or products from the food and chemical industries find their way down under from the USA, Europe and South East Asia.
The goal: establishing supply chains
"The aim here is to use our many years of logistics expertise to establish convincing supply chains on the market in future. In doing so, we also pay attention to links to the already rapidly growing traffic within Asia in order to achieve synergies in the efficient use of transport capacities," says Michael Zankel.
The company recently opened its own office in Seoul, South Korea. The new locations in Australia and New Zealand are therefore an important addition to the East Asia/Oceania region, which currently consists of 35 locations.
