Gebrüder Weiss opens Phoneix site

[ February 14, 2025   //   ]

Austrian-owned freight forwarder Gebrüder Weiss is opening a new location in Phoenix, Arizona, as part of its growth plan in the US. It will provide air and sea transport services including customs clearance and partial and full-load land transport.

Arizona is the most important state for transport to and from Mexico, while Phoenix itself is becoming increasingly important as a central transhipment point for trade across the southern border of the US with, nearly $20 billion worth of cargo moving in 2023.

Phoenix complements Gebrüder Weiss’ existing Texas locations in El Paso and Laredo, which specialize in the cross-border transport of goods to and from Mexico.

North America country manager Mark McCullough, said: “Our logistics services in Phoenix are a further building block in the development of Gebrüder Weiss and strengthen our position in this economically strong region. This allows us to offer our customers greater flexibility in their transports and more reliable supply chains.”

The forwarder now operates a network of 17 locations including the recently opened a logistics terminal in Elgin, Illinois, as well as branches in Miami, Florida, Denver, Colorado and Dallas, Texas. In Salt Lake City, the company acquired local forwarder Cargo-Link in 2024.
