Gebrüder Weiss strengthens its presence in Bavaria

With the opening of a new branch in Straubing at the beginning of October, the logistics service provider Gebrüder Weiss is taking a further step in the consolidation of its own land transportation network in southern Germany.

The basis for the location in the Lower Bavarian economic center is a newly acquired existing property in the Sachsenring industrial park with an area of 45,000 square meters. "Within our growing southern German land transportation network, we will develop Straubing into a hub where companies from the region can access the entire Gebrüder Weiss service portfolio," announces Wolfram Senger-Weiss, CEO of Gebrüder Weiss. In the medium term, his company will provide 60 to 80 new jobs in all areas of freight forwarding at the new Straubing site, and up to 120 in the long term.

The new location in Straubing complements Gebrüder Weiss' existing southern German branches in Aldingen, Esslingen, Lindau, Memmingen, Nuremberg and Passau, as well as the most recent location in Waldkraiburg following the takeover of the Lode forwarding company. "With the new location in Straubing, we are creating a dense network of overland transport locations from Nuremberg to the Czech Republic and Austria, thus offering customers from industry and trade a direct connection to the Europe-wide Gebrüder Weiss network," explains Werner Dettenthaler, Managing Director Land Transport Germany at Gebrüder Weiss.
