Gebrüder Weiss looks back on ten years of success in the Georgian market. Not only has the location in Tbilisi established itself as a central hub for the transport of goods between Europe and Central Asia, but it is also becoming increasingly important as a logistics center as the industrial and utilities sectors in the Caucasus region are growing and, with them, the import and export of goods. Gross domestic product per capita rose to around 17% in 2021, after the difficulties of the pandemic year 2020.

In the past five years, Gebrüder Weiss Georgia’s land transport operations have moved nearly 75,000 consignments with a total weight of 311,000 tons, and this amount keeps rising. A factor driving this development is the growing importance of the Middle Corridor as an alternative route to northern transport links via Russia. Gebrüder Weiss also announced in July its plans to expand its transport routes from Europe to China via Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. In response to the expected growth in freight volumes, the Tbilisi location is now being expanded for the second time after 2019 and will get more transshipment and office space.
