On October 1st, international transport and logistics provider Gebrüder Weiss will open a new location in Straubing, Germany, further consolidating its land transport network across southern Germany.

The branch in the lower Bavarian commercial center will be based at a newly acquired, 45,000 square-meter property in the Sachsenring industrial park, complementing the company’s existing southern German branches in Aldingen, Esslingen, Lindau, Memmingen, Nuremberg, Passau, and Waldkraiburg.

“We will be growing Straubing into a major hub within our expanding southern German land transport network, enabling regional companies to access the entire Gebrüder Weiss service portfolio,” said CEO Wolfram Senger-Weiss. The new facility will create up to 120 new jobs.

The new Straubing location will create “a tightly meshed land transport network extending from Nuremberg to Austria and the Czech Republic, offering customers from commerce and industry a direct link to the Pan-European Gebrüder Weiss network," explained Werner Dettenthaler, the company’s regional manager for Land Transport Germany.
