Twenty-five years ago, Gebrüder Weiss opened its first branch in Croatia, just as the country was beginning its economic transformation. The international logistics company looks back on this journey with pride.
Wolfram Senger-Weiss, CEO of Gebrüder Weiss said, on the occasion of the company’s anniversary:
“We recognized Croatia’s potential early on, and that foresight has paid off. The country’s economic development since joining the EU, along with its integration into the Schengen area and the Eurozone, have been decisive catalysts for our business."
Since entering the Croatian market in 2000, Gebrüder Weiss has consistently invested in infrastructure, digitalization, and the expansion of its service portfolio. With three locations in Zagreb, Rijeka, and Split, the company offers comprehensive solutions in land transport, logistics solutions, and air & sea freight.
Established in 2019, the logistics terminal at its Zagreb headquarters has recently been expanded, increasing total capacity to more than 20,000 square meters.
This expansion addresses rising customer demand in both international and domestic freight forwarding.
Fuelled by the e-commerce boom, the home delivery segment has grown particularly rapidly, with demand for last-mile delivery remaining especially strong across Croatia’s Adriatic coast tourism hotspots.
To meet this need, an additional cross-docking facility is currently in planning near Split (Dalmatia).
Thomas Schauer, Regional Manager for Central and Southeast Europe at Gebrüder Weiss commented: “Croatia not only offers a strategically advantageous location for freight flows between the EU and the Western Balkans, but also provides an attractive investment climate. With access to major Adriatic ports such as Rijeka, Koper, and Trieste, and supported by solid transport infrastructure, Croatia is a high-performing logistics hub with significant growth potential for multimodal transport,”
Going forward, Croatia is expected to play an even greater role as a transit hub for shipments to neighbouring countries.
Modern, Digital, and Sustainable Logistics Solutions
To ensure long-term growth, Gebrüder Weiss is also combining economic performance with ecological responsibility in Croatia. This includes efficient building and energy management systems powered by photovoltaic systems and heat pumps, as well as further expansion of e-mobility. Currently, five electric vans are in operation in Zagreb, while two electric cargo tricycles serve the islands of Rab and Lošinj.
In addition, investments in digital services, automated processes, and workforce development continue to strengthen Gebrüder Weiss’s market position in Croatia.
Barbara Bujačić, Country Manager of Gebrüder Weiss Croatia said:
“Our goal is to deliver modern, digital, and sustainable logistics solutions to our customers while also creating attractive career opportunities in the region."
