Gebrüder Weiss shifts up a gear in its Caucasus service

Starting immediately, Gebrüder Weiss is operating three weekly freight services from Passau to Tbilisi (Georgia), giving customers even better access to Caucasus region

Starting immediately, Gebrüder Weiss offers its customers three direct groupage freight services to Georgia every week. The international transport and logistics company transports goods from its customers all over Europe directly from Passau to Tbilisi and delivers them straight to the end customers (“carriage paid”). This makes the service unique in southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland, they state in a press release.

They carry mainly automobile parts, agricultural products and foodstuffs. Gebrüder Weiss covers the 3,800-kilometre route in a transit time of no more than eight working days, starting in Germany and taking in Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria and Turkey en route to Georgia.

The Caucasus region is developing into an internationally significant economic location: continuous expansion of the infrastructure, double-digit economic growth and favourable customs regulations make the area very attractive for foreign investors. Georgia, in particular, is of geostrategic importance as a transit country.

“Since the line was launched at the beginning of 2012, the volume of consignments has increased by some 40 per cent. By operating more frequent departures, we are providing our customers throughout Europe with even better access to the up-and-coming markets in the East,” says Thomas Moser, Regional Manager South-East/CIS at Gebrüder Weiss. From its 10,000 m² terminal in Tbilisi, the transport specialist serves customers in the Caucasus, especially in Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Since June 2014, the terminal has also been receiving deliveries on the East-West axis via the new Singapore-Tbilisi LCL route: Gebrüder Weiss combines the freight in Singapore and transports it weekly in consolidated containers via the Georgian port of Poti to Tbilisi.
