In an era of globalization, the logistics industry is undergoing rapid transformation, particularly in emerging markets like Southeast Asia. On June 1, 2025, Gebrüder Weiss—the historic international transport and logistics company—will officially establish its country organization in Thailand, signaling both its commitment to the Southeast Asian market and its potential to energize the local business environment.
As one of the world's most economically dynamic regions, Southeast Asia presents abundant commercial opportunities. Gebrüder Weiss's entry into Thailand will help bridge strategic gaps in the market while strengthening connections between clients and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
Thailand: The Emerging Logistics Hub
Thailand, known for its vibrant culture and strategic geographic position, is poised to become a crucial node in international trade. With Gebrüder Weiss's new presence, businesses will gain access to more efficient and streamlined logistics services.
The company's confidence in Thailand's logistics market reflects broader recognition of the country's growth potential. As the economic heart of Southeast Asia, Thailand has demonstrated robust economic expansion in recent years.
Market Potential and Strategic Focus
Projections indicate Thailand's exports will reach $300 billion in 2024, marking a 5% year-over-year increase. Industrial goods dominate this export volume, accounting for 86% of shipments. Key categories include electronics, automotive products, machinery, and food—sectors where Gebrüder Weiss's expertise promises significant value.
From precision transport solutions for electronics to specialized logistics for the automotive industry, the company plans to leverage its international experience to deliver customized services.
Building Local Expertise
In Bangkok, Gebrüder Weiss has already assembled a 20-member professional team focused on international air and sea freight, customs clearance, and domestic and cross-border road transport services.
This strategic direction demonstrates both industry foresight and deep understanding of client needs.
Regional Network Expansion
With its Thai operations, Gebrüder Weiss now covers nine countries across East and Southeast Asia, including Australia, Greater China, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam. The regional network comprises 35 locations staffed by approximately 800 employees delivering comprehensive logistics solutions.
The company is also implementing digital transformation initiatives to enhance service efficiency through advanced technologies. Real-time tracking and transparent logistics processes will form the cornerstone of its customer experience philosophy.
As Gebrüder Weiss expands its footprint, Thailand is set to evolve from a traditional goods distribution center into a thriving hub for international trade. The partnership between Southeast Asia's growing market and the logistics provider may redefine industry standards in the region.
