Gebrüder Weiss in China: 20 years in the sign of growth

17 sites in China: turnover of Weiss-Röhlig forwarding increased by a thirty-fold in the last 10 years
 
In a ceremony at the Andaz Hotel Shanghai Xintiandi with about 250 international guests from business and politics, the Austrian transport and logistics company Gebrüder Weiss has lately celebrated the 20-years-jubilee of its branch in China. “Our success in the past 20 years was based on the great personal commitment of many people, and an unshakable faith in the country’s economic and political development,” Paul Senger-Weiss emphasized in his introductory remarks.
 
Today, Gebrüder Weiss is represented in 17 locations in China, since 2000 in a successful alliance with Air & Sea specialist Röhlig Logistics with its headquarters in Bremen. Around EUR 120 million annual turnover are being generated by 342 employees in China. “We have increased our turnover by a thirty-fold in the last 10 years alone,” remarked Yongquan Chen, General Manager of Weiss-Röhlig in China. He expressed his gratitude for the company’s ability to profit from the time period after the reform and the economic opening of China. “However, we are at least as thankful for the loyal support of our employees, colleagues overseas, clients and partners.”
 
Heinz Senger-Weiss described the personnel continuity as a key component of success as well. “Our current management team on-site consists of employees of the first hour.” This is how Weiss-Röhlig ensures a high degree of stability. At the same time, it enabled Gebrüder Weiss to embed the strong canon of its values in the distant China.
