The globally active logistics company Gebruder Weiss launched a new network in Mersin, located in the South of Turkey also known to be the central organization hub on the Mediterranean Sea on March 28, 2022.
“We have our locations in most of the countries along the Middle Corridor and are familiar with the local legal and cultural particulars in these regions. We are also seeing increased demand from our customers for shipments on this route….Turkey is an emerging growth market and, with its location on the Mediterranean Sea, an important freight handling facility for transport between Asia and Europe. Mersin represents another region being developed by us for our customers, following on from Istanbul and Izmir. Favorable transport connections to the Mediterranean region as well as the proximity to industrial operations in the hinterland are all advantages offered by the new location” says Mr. Wolfram Senger-Weiss, CEO of Gebruder Weiss.
Clier Keskinel, Country Manager at Gebrüder Weiss also added “The key factor is the location’s immediate proximity to producers. In addition to air and sea freight services, we also offer local customers pharmaceutical and multimodal transports as well as warehouse organization and customs clearance,”
As Turkey becomes a major silk road hub, the country also serves an important gateway function on the so-called ‘Middle Corridor’ of the New Silk Road towards Central Asia and China which offers alternative transportation throughout Russia, Turkey (Istanbul), Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan to China and transit time usually takes around 35 to 45 days as the route also crosses the Caspian Sea.
Mersin is now the third Gebruder Weiss location in Turkey consisting of 75 employees that organize partial-load transports along with air and sea freight services. It is also connected to the Northern economic centers of Kahramanmaras, Konya, and Kayseri, from which mainly textile, agriculture, chemical, and mechanical engineering products are exported.
