Stand Q22
What is the most interesting thing about your business?
There are two answers:As a company, Gebruder Weiss is well over 500 years old. We are the oldest and still privately held logistics and transportation company. That history is well documented and we take a lot of pride being part of company with such a great heritage.
As an industry, the most interesting thing is the people and the friendships that I have made over the last 30 years. Project transportation is very much a relationship business today.
What made your company want to exhibit at Breakbulk Americas?
Gebruder Weiss has made a multi-million dollar investment in the United States and we have grown very quickly in the last 5 years. We are excited to have ten offices in the USA today and an important part of that business is the Industrial Projects division headed by Michael Ruediger. We want to be part of the Breakbulk community and exhibiting at Breakbulk Americas (and Europe) is important for us.What is your company’s outlook on project opportunities in the Americas at the moment?
There are tremendous opportunities in the Americas. We have customers who are developing large alternative / green energy projects and it is exciting to be part of the green economy. One in particular is building a plant to recycle electric car batteries. We are very diversified as a company and also in the project space so we are tracking traditional oil and gas projects as well. It is a great time to be in the project business!

40 years of family owned and operated, drayage and breakbulk expertise.What made your company want to exhibit at Breakbulk Americas?
We had a great experience visiting last year while a hurricane was looming back home. We saw how the global exposure was unmatched at Breakbulk Americas, so we decided to exhibit this year.What is your company’s outlook on project opportunities in the Americas at the moment?
It is great to see demand spread across the country and new shipping lanes get established outside of the traditional ports. We are excited for conditions to stabilize, and we are positioned nicely to grow new relationships on top of our longstanding partnerships..jpeg)
