This should be said upfront – 2013 was certainly not an easy year. I don’t just mean the economic environment in general and conditions in specific markets and in-dustries, but also the many – partly future-oriented – projects that we have had to work on and contend with. In addition to huge successes we have also had to deal with a few setbacks and then try to draw the right conclusions, learn the right lessons and face up to the consequences. Adjusting to constant change – the new normality – has in any event become a major task. In 2013, these issues along with many others have made up the mainstay of our work towards our medium-term strategy. In terms of finances, the last year has shown altogether satisfactory results. We were able to increase net sales to around EUR 1.2 billion and keep cashflow and equity ratios stable. Investment volume ac-counted for roughly EUR 60 million, which is even higher than the amount in 2012. Recently, the traditionally strong areas of land transport including logistics solutions, Air & Sea and CEP (courier, express and parcel) services have made the largest contribution to this development. We should also highlight the excellent performance of inet, xlvise and dicall, which complement and enhance our of-fer. Every day, across various countries and responsibili-ties, some 6,000 employees make sure that Gebrüder Weiss (GW) remains competitive and uphold the compa-ny’s good reputation. I would therefore like to take this opportunity to express my sincerest thanks to all colleagues in the “orange network”.

Looking forward, we have affirmed and redefined our corporate targets. GW has to continue growing steadily. To this end, we are concentrating on the one hand on the “East” and selected overseas markets, and on the other hand on specific and intermodal logistics solu-tions and innovative services. In doing so, however, we must not lose sight of traditional services such as gen-eral cargo and full truck load transport or air and sea freight. We focus first and foremost on the needs and expectations of our customers. We want to secure our competitiveness not only by providing top quality at a fair price, but by being proactive and creative and by maintaining our determination to keep improving. GW is and will remain a dependable partner that not only gets things moving but keeps them moving as well. This is how our strategy should be seen. Based on this solid foundation, we will develop further, combining tradition with innovation and ambition with a sense of propor-tion, making sure we act respectfully both externally and internally, abiding by rules and agreements, and striving for service excellence and customer enthusi-asm as our supreme goals. Before us lie some huge challenges, which can actu-ally be summarised in four key words: personnel, pro-cesses, portfolio and profitability. The importance of engaged, motivated employees – particularly in the ser-vice sector – goes without saying. The question rather is: how do we attract and retain good staff? What do we

Dear Reader,

have to do to remain an attractive employer for future generations? As far as processes are concerned, we have made great progress, but we need to keep this up. The pressure for higher productivity and precision is not going to decrease. We need to use state-of-the-art technology and new methods in order to achieve better efficiency.

GW’s product range is already extensive, but could still do with some adjustments. In expanding our net-work, we have sent out clear signals in the Black Sea/Central Asia region with the acquisition of the forwarder Far Freight, the establishment of our Turkish branch and the construction of the state-of-the-art facility in Tbilisi, Georgia. More are to follow.

The subject of transport modes should be highlighted – including the ecological aspects. We need to promote standardisation, while fulfilling increasingly complex supply chain demands. Furthermore, we must not lose sight of the growing B2C (business to consumer) busi-ness. In order to keep up with the pace and stay ahead of the game for our customers, we need to invest sub-stantially. This requires an appropriate rate of return so that we are not reliant on borrowed capital.

GW has a good starting point, from which we can look forward with confidence. If we can manage to maintain this course and develop further on the basis of our strengths, then we will continue to be successful. I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the GW team, to express special thanks to our business associ-ates, shareholders and supervisory board members for their cooperation so far and to ask them to keep up their tremendous support.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Niessner

By opening a strategically important terminal in Tbili-si, Georgia and taking over the forwarder Far Freight, Gebrüder Weiss has been expanding its network to-wards Central Asia. In November 2013, Gebrüder Weiss took over the freight forwarding company Far Freight which has many years of experience handling land, air and sea transport as well as project business in Russia, the Caucasus and Asia. With this special expertise, Far Freight makes a fantastic addition to the Gebrüder Weiss portfolio and can now develop services in countries such as Turkmenistan, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and South Russia. Far Freight was founded in 1995 in Vienna and has its headquarters there as well as a branch in Naberezhnye Chelny, Russia.

GW Georgia: Hub for the Caucasus region. For Gebrüder Weiss, the continuous expansion of its com-petence in Central Asia is of great strategic importance. In the summer of 2013, it officially opened a state-of-the-art logistics facility in the Georgian capital Tbilisi. GW is now in a position to offer its customers “improved access to the upcoming markets in the East,” said Wolf-ram Senger-Weiss, a member of the Gebrüder Weiss Board. The logistics facility in Tbilisi has 10,500 square metres of handling and logistics space. A further spe-cial feature of the new location is the regular groupage freight service from Passau to Tbilisi.

C Thanks to its central location and strong industrial tradition, the Czech Republic is one of the most important logistics markets in Central and Eastern Europe.

A modern handling centre in Jeneč and the new branch in Northern Bohemia expand Gebrüder Weiss Czech Republic’s extensive network. The new termi-nal opened in Jeneč in spring 2013 is easily accessi-ble as it is close to the international airport and major routes around Prague. This location, with its 10,000 square metre handling and logistics facility, forms the basis for further development in the Czech Republic. A special feature of the branch is the modern ADR depot, which allows hazardous goods to be stored according to the highest current standards.

Further steps were taken towards expansion in the Czech Republic in June 2013. A new facility has been opened in Jablonec nad Nisou close to Liberec in North-ern Bohemia. From here, it is possible to deliver goods within the Czech Republic and to all of Europe – par-ticularly Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Turkey. Gebrüder Weiss Czech Republic now has six locations close to the country’s most important economic centres.

Since the national organisation was founded in 1993, the Gebrüder Weiss network in Slovakia has devel-oped well – including continued expansion. At the start of September 2013, another two logistics buildings covering a total of 4,600 square metres went into oper-ation at the existing logistics terminal in Senec, near Bratislava. 7,000 additional pallet spaces complement the existing area ideally, allowing GW to keep up with the ever increasing number of orders whilst providing the same level of quality that its customers have come to expect. Moreover, customers of GW Slovakia benefit from many years of experience in partial and full loads – especially in the automotive sector – as well as in high- security transports of consumer electronics.

Gebrüder Weiss took its first steps into Slovakia in 1993 by opening its first office in Bratislava. Just a short while later, the first international groupage freight ser-vice started on the European network. At the start of the new millennium, further locations were opened in Žilina and Košice. In 2005, the new terminal in Senec began operations and the new building opened in 2010.

Since the beginning of the year, Gebrüder Weiss has been hard at work on its multimodal service port-folio in Istanbul. At the start of 2014, Gebrüder Weiss opened its first branch in Turkey. The new team in Istan-bul is offering services in the areas of overland trans-port, multimodal solutions and air and sea freight. Misel Yakop, who is responsible for land transport, and Rid-van Demirhan, who is responsible for air and sea freight, are jointly managing the new site. GW hopes that this dual leadership approach will emphasise and drive for-ward the new office’s multimodal direction. Gebrüder Weiss sees large economic potential in Turkey and good chances for positioning itself successfully as a full ser-vice logistics provider.

After more than a year’s construction work, Weiss-Röhlig has now officially opened two sites in Vietnam. Weiss-Rohlig’s first two branches in Vietnam are located at the country’s main hubs – in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Weiss-Röhlig Vietnam aims to seam-lessly integrate this economically thriving country into the two companies’ international logistics network and as a result expand the network on the South China Sea. A total of twenty people are employed in the two lo-cations, using their regional know-how to offer a wide range of services in the areas of Air & Sea freight as well as Projects & Break Bulk. What makes Vietnam a particularly attractive market for companies from west-ern industrialised nations is its need for industrial ma-chinery, replacement parts, highly specialist goods and niche products. In addition to the international market, the aim is to make an impact on domestic customers with our wide range of services.

As of the end of 2013, the freight forwarding company Diehl, with its headquarters in Esslingen near Stuttgart, has been operating under the Gebrüder Weiss brand. In addi-tion to the reorganisation of all busi-ness documents, this can also be seen in the company’s outward ap-pearance. All Diehl sites are to be adapted to the GW design. With the rebranding, the 350 employ-ee-strong forwarder is now also ex-ternally identifiable as an integral part of the global Gebrüder Weiss network.

At TRANSLOG Connect in Budapest in November 2013, Gebrüder Weiss took the CEE Logistics and Supply Chain Excellence Award. The award was given by the Events Group and European Logistics Association for outstanding logistics and supply chain solutions. Gebrüder Weiss stood out in the Service Provider Category for the “Control Tower” concept developed for its customer Hilti, and recognised as a highly in-novative approach to logistics and supply chain management.

In the summer of 2013, a new branch was opened in Györ offering the complete spectrum of Gebrüder Weiss services. The aim of opening this branch in Györ is to strengthen the company’s position in the region of Western Hungary – particularly in the automotive sector. The new GW branch at the Ipari Park in Györ has over 1,500 square metres of storage area, 1,000 pallet storage spaces and currently employs ten people.

Gebrüder Weiss developed the “Control Tower” logistics system for its customer Hilti, and won an award for this at Translog Connect.

The truck fleet of the former Diehl branches is being successively adapted to the GW design.

At the new location in Györ (Hungary), GW offers its complete range of services – from overland transport and air and sea freight to individual logistics solutions.


In the provinces of Salzburg, Tyrol and Vorarlberg, Gebrüder Weiss has been crowned one of the “best places to do an apprenticeship” by the Austrian Chamber of Commerce. The certificate is valid for three years and stands for outstanding work in training apprentic-es and employees. Employees from Gebrüder Weiss also excelled at the freight forwarding competition in 2013, which carried the slogan: “sustainable ecological and/or economic customer- and sector-specific solutions”. Nina Prochaska from Gebrüder Weiss parcel service (GWP) secured first place with her “Package Delivery 2.0” solution. Third place went to Mario Gräf from GWP for designing an innovative dis-posal system.

Analytical, strategic, smart: The “Logistics Expert” game app by Ge-brüder Weiss requires the player to reason quickly and in an error-free way. At the start of 2014, the sliding block puzzle underwent an impres-sive relaunch with 120 new levels and optimised graphics. The levels represent individual countries and have been enhanced to include new geographical features (desert, jun-gle, sea, etc.).

The portfolio of services offered by Gebrüder Weiss includes its core business of land transport, air and sea freight as well as logistics and a whole range of highly specialised business solutions and subsidiaries.

Gebrüder Weiss delivers top performance every day thanks to its experience and a passion for logistical challenges. We don’t aim to be the biggest, but we do want to be one of the best in the industry. This claim is based on a service concept that keeps its quality promises and is always aligned with the needs of our customers. The company’s focus has always been on reacting quickly and individually to the demands of to-day and the customers.

Today, Gebrüder Weiss sees itself as a full service logistics expert with considerable solution expertise for its customers’ entire supply chain. A service provider that doesn’t just operate systematically, but has the vi-sion to put itself in the customer’s position.

This flexibility and expertise are based on the glob-al presence of Gebrüder Weiss, its strong international network and around 6,000 highly qualified employees. The combined experience and opportunities offered by the different divisions and brands all come together to offer comprehensive solutions covering all logistical processes, not just customer-specific transport solu-tions by road, rail, water and air.

In a Europe without borders, the smooth and effi-cient transport of goods is key to economic success. Companies from all sectors have a strong partner in Gebrüder Weiss land transport services. With full coverage across Europe in terms of general cargo solu-tions and extensive expertise when it comes to partial and full loads, Gebrüder Weiss guarantees that it will serve the European markets reliably and in an econom-ically sustainable way – and in 2013 the Group always had its finger on the pulse. Gebrüder Weiss land trans-port processed a total of 10,190,000 consignments last year.

Multimodal transport solutions are becoming increas-ingly important. Gebrüder Weiss has been setting trends in sustainability and efficiency for five years thanks to the Orange Combi Cargo (OCC), the exclusive block train between Vienna, Hall in Tyrol and Bludenz. Walter Konzett, Head of Product Management for land trans-port, looks back at this success story: “We were able to shift more than 100,000 truck loads from road to rail, saving over 52,000 tonnes of CO2”. In 2013, Gebrüder Weiss expanded its OCC activities even further. Since September, REWE supermarkets in Tyrol and Vorarlberg have been supplied by OCC from the REWE central warehouse in Upper Austria.

The name of the game is “operational excellence” and with this in mind, 950 vehicles have been fitted with a

state-of-the-art telematics system for route optimisa-tion and a real-time track & trace system. In Austria, in 2013, Gebrüder Weiss land transport implemented pro.line home, the new B2C solution. To date, 120,000 consignments, including value-added services, such as unpacking and set-up, have been processed. Once more, numerous measures with regards to safety have been implemented. The orange land transport experts are continuously developing state-of-the-art distribu-tion solutions. Aside from 24/7 monitoring and a perma-nent track & trace service on all main routes and direct services, land transport also offer active, running status updates along with alarms in case of deviations, secure parking on Gebrüder Weiss sites and escorts for par-ticularly valuable freight.

As a founder member of System Alliance Europe (SAE), Gebrüder Weiss sees itself as bridge builder be-tween is partner companies located across 14 coun-tries. 3.5 million consignments with a total weight of 1.6 million tonnes were moved in 2013 – an increase of almost five per cent.

Efficient and flexible logistics is indispensable in modern business. Since 2013, Gebrüder Weiss ex-pertise has also helped companies in the Caucasus to continue low-ering fixed costs. Since July 2013, the logistics experts at Gebrüder Weiss have been running a modern logistics centre in Tbilisi, Georgia to the highest western European qual-ity standards. Gebrüder Weiss on-line wireless order picking has opened up new horizons for Geor-gia’s leading innovative companies across all sectors – highly efficient and completely paper-free. In logis-tics, quick processing allows for flexibility in terms of warehouse ca-pacity and web-based IT systems ensure the highest possible levels of transparency. Tried and tested process standards in storage logis-tics with specialised process man-agers in every location guarantee the quality that people have come to expect from the Gebrüder Weiss logistics division. “Efficient process planning, simulations and ongoing optimisation throughout the logis-

tics chain allow us to offer our cus-tomers real and, more importantly, sustainable added value,” says Har-ald Stiastny, Head of Corporate Logistics at Gebrüder Weiss.

Last year, the expansion of the or-ange logistics portfolio was also ap-parent from the number of employ-ees. In 2013, the number of employees in logistics increased by 19 per cent compared to the previ-ous year. In 2014, Stiastny and his team are turning their sights even further east. Automotive logistics is central in China where the Gebrüder Weiss logistics experts are develop-ing multi-user warehouse services to European process standards. “The ongoing development of our offer into full supply chain solutions is our core strategy for 2014,” says Stiastny.

Whether they’re dealing with bulky structural steel components, whole factories, yachts or specialist vehicles – the experts from Projects & Break Bulk will find the ideal transport solution. Watch the film here.

Gebrüder Weiss air and sea freight services ship sea freight world-wide and are reliable partners at global air freight hubs. The experi-ence of Gebrüder Weiss Air & Sea experts stands them in good stead, particularly when markets are vola-tile. “Although the market for imports to Europe was challenging, we were able to stabilise at a high level in 2013,” says Joe Lässer, Director of Air & Sea. This is also due to ongo-ing investment in the Gebrüder Weiss infrastructure. In 2013, the Wolfurt air freight terminal saw the entry into operation of an ultra-mod-ern screening facility, which com-plies with the highest security stand-ards. The newly established Procurement Department in the sea freight division has been concentrat-ing on rate agreements with ship owners and is able to react quickly and flexibly to changes. “Strong agreements have enabled us to con-tinue to weather the volatility,” says Vojislav Jevtic, Global Product Man-ager Sea Freight. In 2013, the focus was also on investment in Asia. For

this reason, a sea freight product management office was set up in Shanghai to implement group strate-gies in the region. In order to meet the high demand for less-than-con-tainer shipments, Jevtic and his team launched the groupage freight prod-uct, “GWconsolution”. In this con-text, new gateways opened up in Hamburg and Koper. Projects & Break Bulk, the department that deals with special transports, saw a 40 per cent increase in turnover in 2013. On top of this, the global network of Ge-brüder Weiss and Röhlig has been restructured. The legal structure, which has developed and grown over the past 15 years, was simpli-fied by dispensing with most of the joint ventures. At the same time, steps were taken to ensure an even stronger alignment of shared opera-tions processes with customer re-quirements.

In 2014, Lässer and his air freight team are planning a reorientation of their tried and tested aviation prod-ucts: “We want to raise the bar for

the quality guarantees we offer our customers,” says Lässer. The sea freight division is planning on sharp-ening the GWconsolution product profile and expanding geographical-ly, for instance towards Singapore, in 2014. “We want to increase our productivity by relying on individual IT solutions for our customers,” says Jevtic.

A Currently, DPD runs over 300 parcel shops in Austria.By the end of 2014, the number of B2C shops is expected to reach 800.

B In 2013, more than 150,000 parcels were sent by DPD every day.

C New, more flexible hardware and software solutions for parcel sorting make sure items get to their destination faster.


The Gebrüder Weiss parcel service (GWP) has per-formed impressively this year with its first-rate cus-tomer service and a new B2C strategy. DPD, the parcel delivery service founded and operated by Gebrüder Weiss, Lagermax and Schachinger, offers a complete 24-hour service for parcels up to 31.5 kg throughout Austria. In 2013, its 25th year operating in this country, DPD moved more than 150,000 parcels on a daily basis. In 1988, when DPD came into the market, this number stood at 2,700. A fleet of 900 vehicles and the know-how of 1,500 dedicated employees have made this success story possible.

As of 2013, every DPD depot had at least one environ-mentally friendly, sustainable gas-powered vehicle. An-dreas Winkelmayer, Head of the Gebrüder Weiss parcel service (GWP), explains that in 2013, DPD invested further in its service: “New, more flexible hardware and software solutions for parcel sorting and new technology at the main hub in Hörsching near Linz help us get valuable freight to where it needs to be even faster and more effi-ciently.” Since FlexDelivery was launched in June 2013, recipients have been able to choose for themselves what day they want their parcel delivering and opt for a specific time-slot for the delivery. People have been talking about DPD’s high-end quality for a long time. The Israeli soda producer SodaStream has been relying totally on DPD since 2010 for warehousing, picking and shipping, all in the name of sustainability. DPD and primetime work to-gether to exchange empty CO2 canisters for full ones and

then ship the empty goods off to SodaStream’s European head office in Germany. But Austria’s market leader in B2B parcel services has no intention of resting on its lau-rels. Quite the opposite: in 2014, Winkelmayer and his team want to start applying themselves more and more to DPD’s B2C strategy. “We want to get new customers on board with our service, and to deepen and further develop the existing shop structure.”

Our brands and subsidiaries play a major part in our success. They help us to strengthen our transport and logistics expertise so that, by applying sector-spe-cific know-how and exploiting synergies, we are able to meet our customers’ complex requirements even more effectively – faster, more efficiently and more flexibly.

In 2013, Gebrüder Weiss RailCargo was once again a driving force in environmentally friendly and sus-tainable goods transport by rail. Managing Director Walter Dolezal’s team was able to increase the amount of goods transported by more than 10 per cent last year. As a result, the turnover of this rail transport organisa-tion – an autonomous subsidiary since 1993 – increased by 14 per cent. Aside from transporting kerosene from the Slovenian port of Koper to Vienna-Schwechat and Munich airports, Gebrüder Weiss RailCargo current-ly operates more than 400 different routes. In 2013, the services to and from Slovenia have been perform-ing particularly impressively. “Long-term partnerships with national railways, along with cooperation with private rail transport service providers, allow us to of-fer our customers the highest security possible at the same time as providing outstanding flexibility,” Dolezal explains. In 2014, together with his staff, he aims to continue responding quickly to changes in the market. “That way, we can always deliver the optimum solutions to our customers for their rail transport requirements.”

The technology sector relies on tectraxx’s special solutions. Bernd Breugem, Head of the tectraxx Busi-ness Unit, looks back at a successful 2013. More than 110,000 consignments with on-site services were pro-cessed by tectraxx in the fields of home delivery and technical distribution. tectraxx now delivers large digital printers for an international provider of IT equipment. “We were able to offer our customer a true all-round package thanks to our TENESO network. We do not simply deliver the equipment to end-customers across Europe; we actually take it, pre-installed, to the exact place that it needs to be.” In order to exploit synergies, tectraxx and Gebrüder Weiss have analysed home de-livery transport flows and bundled together even more deliveries. Breugem says that, thanks to tectraxx, tech-nology companies will again be able to focus all their at-tention on their core competencies in 2014. “We want to continue to develop our technical distribution portfolio.”

Flexible on the rails

High-tech expertise

Every year, GW Rail Cargo Ges.m.b.H. – an autonomous subsidiary of Gebrüder Weiss since 1993 – transports almost a milliontonnes of freight throughout Austria and the whole of Europe by an environmentally friendly, low-carbon method.

tectraxx offers specialist solutions for the sensitive and logistically complex high-tech sector. This allows technology companies to focus on their core competencies while the experts from tectraxx combine their technical know-how and project management experience to create efficient solutions.


dicall – the specialist in tailor-made communication services. At dicall, the focus in 2013 was squarely on service excellence – from sales preparation and advice to order and complaints logging and employee train-ing. The Gebrüder Weiss subsidiary offers its custom-ers flexible and personalised all-round telephone com-munication packages: “In 2013, because we were also able to offer services like shipping and data capture, the trend was clearly moving towards offering complete solutions,” says Managing Director Florian Maurer. More than one million calls were taken at the in-house call centre. In 2013, Maurer and his team launched the ‘dicall certified’ quality seal. “We analyse the quality of our customers’ communications and then carry out personalised training sessions on theory and practice.” Last year, dicall, which opened another office in Maria Saal, took over the premium service agendas for French cosmetics company L’Oreal. In 2014, this segment will be developed with as much ambition as the complete solution sector and market research.

x|vise offers comprehensive consulting for individual logistics solutions. In 2013, x|vise successfully under-took 48 different projects – from initial consultation on warehouse planning to installing the appropriate soft-ware. A special focus was put on e-commerce. “Things have turned out well for us in this first year of business and we have made a good start,” says Managing Direc-tor Harry Stiastny. The company has developed a B2B shop for British car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover and designed a B2C web shop for office services provider S.M.S. Ruf in Vorarlberg. x|vise made wood-based prod-uct manufacturer Egger fit for the future with the aid of a smart logistics facility in Hexham England. In 2014, Sti-astny and his team will be focusing on further training for their customers. The x|vise experts train employees at Knapp, a logistics company based in Styria, Austria, by using real examples of projects and customer pitches relating to supply chain management. “By directly and actively applying what has been learned it can be im-plemented instantaneously in daily business life,” says Stiastny.

Always the right number

Good advice going into the future

Since 2002, dicall, the specialist call centre for the logistics sector, has played an essential role in the area of communications in terms of reliability, customer orientation and professionalism.

The experts at x|vise provide companies with intelligent consulting for logistics systems of a more demanding kind – from an initial consultation to logistics management support. The core business is planning storage facilities and installing the appropriate logistics software.


The global Transport Management Systems (TMS) from inet-logistics are very popular. The Gebrüder Weiss subsidiary founded in 1999 recorded a 10 per cent growth in turnover in 2013. Last year, CEO Oswald Werle and his employees focused primarily on the au-tomotive industry. The Dornbirn-based company suc-ceeded in winning a prestigious new customer: Volvo Cars. The automotive division of the traditional car manufacturer, originally Swedish, but now in Chinese ownership, has been using the inet TMS as its central software solution for automating strategic, operational and administrative tasks since May 2013. “In eight short months we have implemented a complete, multi-modal Transport Management System,” says Werle. In 2014, inet Asia will jump into view as well – with its sights set on China. “Economic and ecological sus-tainability is an intrinsic part of inet systems. Our soft-ware solutions mean that our customers can reduce transport costs by up to 20 per cent,” says Werle.

Creating values

>

From parcels for end-customers to heavy loads for in-dustry: customised solutions from Gebrüder Weiss and the company’s constant striving for optimisation really make an impression on customers. Every consignment is handled with the aim of finding the best possible method of transport.

After all, in a highly digitised world based on the di-vision of labour, transporting goods involves far more than simply shipping the cargo from A to B, from the consignor to the consignee. Modern logistics compa-nies create added value for their customers by offer-ing efficient goods handling and mobile data capture. Time is money – and transporting goods as efficiently as possible is every customer’s prime concern. At the same time, the absolute safety of the cargo must be guaranteed and the route that the goods follow must be completely traceable. With GW pro.line, Gebrüder Weiss has developed a unified Europe-wide system for general cargo ship-ments. The aim is to make the most of every truck’s cargo space. The customer can also avoid unnecessary waiting times thanks to precisely defined delivery times because the goods are bundled together for shipment and transported – and delivered – at specific times. So how does this work exactly? Haulage trucks col-lect the general cargo from the sender and take it to

the nearest GW hub. Here, the goods are loaded, as required, onto larger main-leg trucks, which operate a daily scheduled shuttle service between the individual GW locations across the whole of Europe. The cargo is then taken by smaller trucks to the right destination at guaranteed delivery times. Thanks to digital data cap-ture, the shipping process can be tracked by the cus-tomer every step of the way. In the transfer and control of logistically relevant data, Gebrüder Weiss bets on state-of-the-art technologies – from a global Transport Management System (TMS), Track & Trace and Control Tower solutions to intelligent functional units for vehi-cles (on-board units). Each transport is made transparent for consignor and consignee alike, irrespective of whether the main transport line only runs from Basel to Stuttgart or from Passau to Tbilisi. The advantages of groupage trans-port over the more costly individual transport are plain to see. The customer saves time and money. Planning security is increased, resources are saved and the envi-ronment stays protected.

Customised transports by sea. With GWconsolution, Gebrüder Weiss brings the benefits of groupage freight to the sea freight sector as well. With own LCL gate-ways at the most significant ports worldwide, the co-ordination and consolidation of shipments is realised in accordance with uniform service criteria.

More than transport

Sustainable logistics companies create added value by offering efficient goods handling – all part of the service for their customers.


A Whether it’s a barcode system, track & trace or online shipment processing: the latest IT technology is not only used for monitoring and data tracking, but also to increase transparency for the customer.

B With GW pro.line, Gebrüder Weiss is able to offer its customers a unique general cargo shipment service with daily departures, defined transit times and definite quality standards.

C Reliable sea freight services and a global network of own logistics terminals with a highly modern infrastructure: GWconsolution offers individual concepts for groupage freight(LCL) via ship which are flexible and sustainable.

To find the best transport solution, Gebrüder Weiss takes advantage of its 150 locations worldwide, its fleet of 3,500 trucks and 1,179 regular routes throughout Europe. With 56 partners in 29 countries, the transport company is able to build upon a strong network of lead-ing groupage freight forwarders. Needless to say, as an innovative freight forwarder, GW doesn’t limit itself to just the transport business. Customers have good reasons for increasingly choosing to incorporate GW’s logistics expertise into their production processes.

Operational logistics for the automotive industry. A smart division of labour is in everyone’s interests. The cooperation with automotive supplier Bosch Mahle Tur-bo Systems (BMTS) in St. Michael ob Bleiburg in Carin-thia, Austria is a good example of an in-house logistics model developed by GW. Since 2011, 32 GW employees have been responsible for the whole logistics process from goods inwards to warehouse management and dispatch. The advantage: because of this partnership, BMTS is able to focus all of its energy on its core busi-ness as an automotive supplier – leaving the in-plant logistics to the experts, its partners at GW.

At Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems, Gebrüder Weiss provides the materials for production and modifies the storage logistics accordingly. This allows the customer to concentrate entirely on the production process.


51

Effective communication is the key to success within any team. Above all else, it is an efficient IT structure, specifically attuned to the internal processes, that cre-ates added value for the customer in the case of the BMTS logistics developed by GW. The path of each workpiece needs be 100 per cent traceable. Whether using a barcode system for seamless shipment track-ing, Track & Trace, EDI (electronic data interchange) or online shipment processing, the latest IT technology not only optimises monitoring and data tracking, but also increases transparency for the customer.

The highest possible flexibility, personal advice and open communication with customers have always set Gebrüder Weiss apart. Even when GW became a glob-ally active concern following the development of its worldwide network, the traditional company still re-mained true to its roots and its values.

When it comes to serving its customers, GW knows no bounds. It might not want to be the biggest trans-port and logistics company in the world, but it certainly wants to be the best. Technology and challenges are constantly changing in the field of logistics. GW’s am-bition nonetheless remains the same: to surpass cus-tomer requirements, set new benchmarks in the quality of our service and create value. This is and always has been the Gebrüder Weiss credo.

A For many years, Gebrüder Weiss has been supporting schoolchildren in the Chernobyl region. Here: The schoolchil-dren in the High5 outdoor park in Lingenau, Vorarlberg.

B In 2013, Gebrüder Weiss also offered support to countless social projects. Here: 300 Christmas presents donated for Romanian children living on the streets were transported free of charge.

C Gebrüder Weiss offers all of its employees targeted in-house training sessions – whether they are an executive, a clerk or a freight forwarder.

D Gebrüder Weiss organised the transport of collected aid supplies from Vorarlberg to Senegalese children in Africa for the “Wissen macht stark” aid programme.

E In the summer of 2013, wide areas in central and eastern Europe were affected by flooding. Gebrüder Weiss assumed social responsibility, providing support through a large number of aid transports from northern Germany via the Czech Republic to western Austria.

F Christmas parcels filled with aid supplies for families in need in Eastern Europe. Gebrüder Weiss provides trucks and fuel for the Johanniter Christmas trucker campaign – the drivers work for free too.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Every year since 2009, Gebrüder Weiss has published a GRI-certified Sustain-ability Report. You can view the 2013 edition here.

We think in terms of generations – Gebrüder Weiss can look back on a history of more than 500 years. A legacy committed to vision, tra-dition and innovation. As an inde-pendent family business, Gebrüder Weiss aims to act consistently and in tune with its responsibilities and budget. For Gebrüder Weiss, “Cor-porate Social Responsibility” (CSR) is deeply embedded in corporate cul-ture and does not just apply to indi-vidual departments or employees. We see CSR as being an overarching and responsible corporate governance system that applies to every country in which Gebrüder Weiss is active. In line with this, we enable each branch of Gebrüder Weiss to invest a certain percentage of its turnover in social projects. In addition to the responsi-bility that we, as a company, take for our employees, the environment and society, we also allow our employees the scope to put their own slant on this.

A cause close to our heart is the support for people in our region, who

are living in a difficult environment or suffering hardships. For nine years now, Gebrüder Weiss has been work-ing for the children in the Belarusian village of Chatovna near Chernobyl, organising various fundraising cam-paigns and arranging for the children to take a holiday in Vorarlberg, Aus-tria. Another project that Gebrüder Weiss has been supporting for many years is DEBRA Austria and their “Butterfly Children”.

Alongside centrally managed aid projects and partnerships, many of our branches work to help with social projects: GW Salzburg is in partner-ship with the Child Protection Centre in Salzburg, supporting emergency aid for children and young people suf-fering abuse. As a partner of the chil-dren’s hospice in Plamienok, GW Slo-vakia helps sick children and children who have suffered personal loss in their families. GW also works all year round, organising a range of cost-free transports: whether this is delivering mattresses to Romania or trans-porting aid packages at Christmas.

These donations, sponsorships and voluntary work are an inherent part of the charitable activities that take place in the orange world. We aim to ensure that our resources are used to promote sustainable, positive de-velopment in our environment and to support our employees in their social engagement.

Compliance

As a family-run company, Gebrüder Weiss feels a traditional responsibility to define the core values that will serve as the cornerstones for its interactions with people inside and outside the company. Scan the QR code to view our Code of Conduct!


As a transport and logistics com-pany, we operate in a challeng-ing environment. Goods must be transported between the sender and recipient according to the customer’s demands and arrive in top condition. There are also many different standards that must be met. Conducting business internationally means contending with a complex set of rules based on legal requirements, cultural consid-erations and language differences. “Compliance” – acting properly and ethically – is, therefore, an essential but not self-evident factor in our in-ternational sector. Here at Gebrüder Weiss, we are aware of our social, ecological and economic respon-sibilities. Offering services in over 100 countries around the globe, we promise to adhere to rules, regula-tions and underlying conditions in both national and international busi-ness activities.

Our commitment to compliance is set out in our Code of Conduct, which is based on our core values of

Independence, Sustainability, Com-mitment and Service Excellence. These values guide our day-to-day business, partnerships and cor-porate focus. Anyone working for Gebrüder Weiss or one of its sub-sidiaries has to abide by this Code – no matter how far up the hierarchy they are, or in which business area or branch they work. This Code of Conduct is our promise to our cus-tomers that we will act transparent-ly and responsibly. Ultimately, it is or goal to provide service quality to our customers. With seamless or-ganisation, extending beyond inter-national borders, we have created the optimum conditions for this.

As part of the collaborative deliv-ery of our services, we work togeth-er with independent service provid-ers. First of all, we ensure that their capabilities as well as preliminary costings comply with our standards. As a general rule: for our customers, we shape complex processes and administrative burdens smoothly. This is ensured by the profession-

al team of Gebrüder Weiss with modern networking – easy, fast and reliable.

Communication

63

Information and transparency are key requirements for continued social and corporate development. On the basis of this conviction, Gebrüder Weiss engages in proactive corporate communication with its most important stakeholder groups – especially customers, partners, suppliers, employees and owners – next to classical communication in the operative business.

We do not follow a one-voice policy. We want inde-pendent employees who continue to adhere to the objec-tives and policies of their company, even after clocking off. We always communicate the background to our deci-sions – the why. This safeguards the long-term motiva-tion of our employees as well as the excellent image of our company. We maintain personal two-way communi-cation with our customers. This primarily occurs within the framework of our customer care concept, through sales representatives both in the office and in the field. This dialogue is supplemented by regular market re-search, particularly customer satisfaction surveys. One large-scale, representative customer survey found that 96 per cent of our customers would recommend us. Through over 60 channels, Corporate Marketing and Communications (MACOM) provides employees, part-ners, customers and other stakeholders with information about current events related to the company. The infor-mation on the various channels is tailored to specific tar-get groups and coordinated by a total of 18 employees in

the department. The information flow with stakeholders is seen as an ongoing, interactive communication pro-cess.

For internal communication, Gebrüder Weiss primarily uses the Intranet which is updated on a daily basis. We supply additional information and background details in our regular employee newsletter which we issue in both German and English. The core of our external communi-cation is based on regional and transregional press re-leases covering all topics related to the company. Since 2009, Gebrüder Weiss has published its Sustainability Report in compliance with the GRI standard. In 2014, we will be releasing our Sustainability Report online for the first time. In some regions and countries, customer news-letters with information of local interest are issued regu-larly. In 2013, printed versions in five countries were con-verted into an electronic format. This allows us to distribute our information more quickly and ecologically.

Communication

With the guiding theme “love of mobility”, the Gebrüder Weiss company magazine ATLAS dares to take a new, sometimes indirect but always entertaining look at the transport and logistics industry. Read the latest edition here.

External stakeholders such as part-ners, customers and suppliers can learn about recent developments, data, facts and the service portfolio offered by the company on our web-site at www.gw-world.com or at http://newsroom.gw-world.com. 14 national organisations maintain web-sites in various languages with the support of MACOM. Gebrüder Weiss subsidiaries are also represented on our website.

Through social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and so on, we maintain a direct dialogue with both existing and potential emplo-yees as well as any interested mem-bers of the public and industry speci-alists. The focus for social media includes topics such as employee stories, company history, new pro-ducts, event reports and CSR topics, the content of which cannot be ac-commodated in the regular press communications, but which never-theless provides a vivid and lively ac-count of our work within the compa-ny. Success proves us right: by the

end of 2013, over 6,000 fans on Fa-cebook were regular readers of this news. An excellent number for a B2B company, which we hope to double in 2014.
