Logistics company Gebrüder Weiss has expanded its network into Thailand, where the company is now providing the Southeast Asian country with air and sea freight transportation, customs handling and cross-border land transport.

According to a release from Gebrüder Weiss, the company opened for business in Thailand on June 1, with a team of 20 employees based out of Bangkok. Services provided by the freight forwarder in the country include warehouse logistics, with a focus on the automotive and high-tech sectors.

“The new country organization allows us to close a strategic gap and create direct connections to central Asia-Pacific markets for our customers,” said Gebrüder Weiss managing director Lothar Thoma. 

Thailand posted export volumes worth roughly $300 billion in 2024, marking a 5% increase from the previous year. Industrial goods made up around 86% of those volumes, including electronics, vehicles, machinery and food. Including Thailand, Gebrüder Weiss now operates in nine countries across East Asia, Southeast Asia and Oceania, including Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Vietnam.
