Transport and logistics company, Gebrüder Weiss, is defying China’s broader economic slowdown.
It has reported continued revenue growth across its Greater China operations in 2025 driven largely by booming cross-border e-commerce.
While national GDP growth eased to 4.8 per cent in Q3 amid trade tensions and weak domestic demand, the logistics provider says its expanded warehousing footprint and strengthened e-fulfilment capabilities are attracting new customers across key sectors including automotive, machinery and electronics.
The company closed its 2024 financial year with revenues of around €330 million, up 24 per cent from €265 million in 2023.
Cross-border parcel volumes remain a major growth engine, with Gebrüder Weiss Express China shipping 25 million parcels last year to destinations across Europe, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
“Our steady growth underlines the strategic importance of the Chinese market,” said Yongquan Chen, General Manager of Gebrüder Weiss China, noting strong performance across air and sea freight, multimodal transport, rail and warehousing.
Gebrüder Weiss has been active in China for more than three decades and now operates 19 locations with over 450 employees.
Several long-standing branches are marking major milestones this year, including 30 years in Qingdao and 25 years in Beijing, Tianjin and Ningbo.
