Gebrüder Weiss opens a new rural organization in the Philippines
On August 1, Gebrüder Weiss created a new rural organization in the Philippines, and expanded its presence in Asia. This strategic move is responded by the International Transport and Logistics Company for the growing economic importance of the island and the expansion of its regional network. The logistics provider also recently announced the opening of a new rural operation in Thailand.
“The Philippines provides great economic potential,” says Michael Zankel, regional director of Gebrüder Weiss in East Asia and Oceania.
The Philippines is the largest economy in Asia in terms of gross domestic product. It has external trade relations with the United States, China, Japan, South Korea and Singapore, among other things – all countries where Gebrüder Weiss is a operational presence. In 2024, the country achieved an export volume of about 73 billion US dollars, while the total imports reached just less than 135 billion US dollars. Electronic products, consumer goods, raw materials and raw materials from the Philippines in the high demand.
The first Gebrüder Weiss site is located in the Philippines in the capital of Manila. From there, a 14 -year -old team will deal with the transportation of air and international sea freight, the management of customs operations, and the coordination of national land transport. “In the coming years, we aim to expand our services, especially the provision of logistical solutions to major industries such as high -tech, cars and consumer goods,” said regional director Michael Zankel.
The Manila Metropolitan region is the industrial and economic center of the Philippines, as it includes direct ties to international seaports and Nineveh Akino Airport. The central city location between free trade areas such as Clark, SubIC and Cavite makes the Philippine capital an ideal starting point for logistical activities.
The growing network in Asia and Oceania
As she entered the Philippine market, Gebrüder Weiss is now active in ten countries in East and Southeast Asia and Oceania. These include Australia, Greater China, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam. The regional network now includes 36 sites, with approximately 800 employees, including employees in the Philippines.
