Southeast Asia is one of the world's most economically dynamic regions. With the opening of a new subsidiary in Thailand, Gebrüder Weiss is now active in nine countries in East and Southeast Asia and Oceania. The regional network now comprises 35 locations with approximately 800 employees.

Gebrüder Weiss is thus strengthening its existing market presence in Australia, Greater China, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam. "With the new country organization, we are closing a strategic gap and creating direct connections to key Asia-Pacific markets for our customers," says Lothar Thoma, Managing Director Air & Sea at Gebrüder Weiss.
Important economic location
"Thailand is a significant export location with strong trade relations with the USA, China, Japan, Australia and Singapore – markets in which we also have our own locations."
In 2024, Thailand's export volume reached approximately US$300 billion, five percent higher than the previous year. The main exports were industrial goods (86 percent of total exports), with electronics, vehicles, machinery, and foodstuffs being among the most important.

The 20-person team in Bangkok offers international air and sea freight, customs clearance, and national and cross-border land transport. "Our employees have many years of experience in international transport management. In the medium term, we want to expand our services in Thailand to include warehousing logistics, with a particular focus on the automotive and high-tech sectors," says Cristian Predan, Area Manager South-East Asia at Gebrüder Weiss.
