Since the foundation of a national organization in 2004, the Gebrüder Weiss network in Serbia has developed very positively. At the transport and logistics conference TIL 2014 in Belgrade, Gebrüder Weiss has now been honoured with the “Brand Leader Award” for the best market position for international transports in the South-East region. The company convinced the jury with its high service quality, optimal logistics solutions and state-of-the-art technology. “From a present-day perspective, the last four years have been the most successful since we first set up in Serbia,” says Erich Schafer, Regional Manager South at Gebrüder Weiss, commenting on the positive development. “With great confidence in our home market, optimal logistics facilities and motivated employees, Gebrüder Weiss Serbia has succeeded in making the leap to become a top logistics provider.” Steady Site Expansion  The growth path will also be continued in 2014. The existing complex of the Dobanovci/Belgrade branch is to be extended by an area of 9,000 m2 for logistics as well as roughly 1,300 m2 of office and circulation space. “The expansion will ensure that we are well equipped to continue handling the growing number of customer orders with our usual high quality in the future,” says Dragan Simovic, Country Manager of Gebrüder Weiss in Serbia. The branch offers the complete service portfolio of the international transport and logistics company Gebrüder Weiss. Its workforce of over 150 employees generated turnover of approximately 18 million euros in 2013. Success Story in Serbia Gebrüder Weiss took the first step into Serbia in 2004 with the opening of the branch in Belgrade. Shortly after, groupage freight services were introduced in the Europe-wide network of the transport and logistics provider. With the takeover of freight forwarder Eurocargo in 2009, new logistics facilities in Dobanovci, a modern long-distance transport fleet as well as roughly 100 employees were added to Gebrüder Weiss Serbia.
