1. July 2021Gebrüder Weiss was awarded the Gold Export Prize in the category of Transport and Traffic by the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKO). The presentation of the prestigious award took place during the Exporters’ Nite at the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna. The award recognized the expansion strategy despite the challenging environment during the pandemic.
(Vienna/Lauterach) According to the jury’s reasoning, Gebrüder Weiss successfully expanded its international network under particularly difficult conditions.
“2020 was the year of our largest expansion to date. Therefore, we are particularly honored by this award from the WKO. Despite the Corona crisis, Gebrüder Weiss opened 24 new locations in 5 countries – all completely remote, without being physically present. The locations are now fully integrated, making a substantial contribution to our network and forming a crucial backbone for the success of our export-oriented customers,” says Lothar Thoma, Managing Director Air & Sea at Gebrüder Weiss.

Last year, Gebrüder Weiss strengthened its location structure in Germany by acquiring Ipsen Logistics and completed market entries in Poland, South Korea, Malaysia, Australia, and New Zealand. Today, 405 people are employed at the new locations. Overall, Gebrüder Weiss employs around 7,400 employees worldwide.
