Global transport and logistics company Gebrüder Weiss has extended its logistics terminal in Tbilisi, Georgia, by some 13,000 m² aiming to further expand its capacities in the Caucasus region.
“This expansion is our response to the rising demand for transport and logistics services in the region, which are growing largely due to the increase in trade between the European Union, Georgia, and its neighbors Armenia and Azerbaijan,” explains Wolfram Senger-Weiss, CEO at Gebrüder Weiss.
This is the third time Gebrüder Weiss has expanded the logistics center since it opened twelve years ago. With this move, the first expansion in 2019, and the location’s connection to the railway network the following year, Gebrüder Weiss now has a total of 142,000 m² of warehousing, handling space, railway, parking and open area at Tbilisi, with over 177 staff members.
Thomas Moser, Regional Manager Black Sea/CIS at Gebrüder Weiss, said, “We are also using this expansion as an opportunity to further build out our transport services in the Caucasus region and to ramp up our collaboration with Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and other Central Asian countries.”
The latest investment of €11.5 million (US$12.6 million) in the Tbilisi terminal brings the company’s total investment in the location to more than €25 million (US$27.4 million) since its inception.
