The international transport and logistics company Gebrüder Weiss is expanding in the United States with the acquisition of the sea and air freight forwarding company Cargo-Link.
Following the establishment of new locations in Laredo, Texas, and Miami last year, Gebrüder Weiss decided to enhance its presence in the country.
“We are continuously consolidating our presence in North America. With Cargo-Link’s services, we are targeting the logistics needs of small and medium-sized companies. We will continue to develop Salt Lake City in our network as a starting point for worldwide air & sea transportation with a focus on transpacific and transatlantic transports,” explains Lothar Thoma, member of the Gebrüder Weiss Management Board responsible for the Air & Sea business unit.
Cargo-Link was founded in 1976 and, with its 15 employees, is mainly active in the sea and air freight business segments. The company also offers customs clearance services. Cargo-Link operates a 2,000 square meter logistics warehouse close to Salt Lake City International Airport.
Gebrüder Weiss has been active in the US with its own country organization since 2017. Since then, the logistics service provider has successfully established itself on the market, supported by the continuous expansion of its network. A total of eleven locations now offer transportation and logistics services: the Chicago headquarters, as well as Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, El Paso, Laredo, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Francisco – and now Salt Lake City.
