Gebrüder Weiss Builds in Romania

”We're excited about building on such a busy traffic junction. We’re planning on moving into the new terminal next spring," explains Thomas Moser, GW Regional Manager South East. Currently GW Romania employs more than 100 individuals. Last year they generated a turnover of 10.3 million euros. ”We place a strong focus on developing our national distribution network. In the past three months we've opened new offices for FTL in Constanţa, Cluj, Bacău and Sibiu. We are also creating additional cargo handling area in Bacău and Sibiu,” Moser continues. In the next two years he is expecting this to lead to both a doubling of turnover and the current number of staff.

Strong Eastern European Network 
The new construction project in Romania is an integral part of this year's 51-million-euro investment programme at GW. The goal is to achieve even closer customer proximity in Eastern Europe. ”We’re investing in Eastern Europe to provide our customers with solutions from within our integrated organisation,” explains Moser. For him the combination of a technically powerful logistics network along with the knowledge and experience of employees is what makes GW different. ”We do not only invest in facilities and technologies but, at the same time, we also invest in the qualification of our employees – this is how we guarantee the success of our customers.”

GW Romania
Viorel Leca has headed GW Romania since May 1st, 2007. The 34-year-old Romanian was formerly employed by ‘Henkel Romania’.

We offer our customers solutions in order to meet their requirements: Both as a partner and a service provider.”
