While many economists see China’s recent economic indicators as signs of a cooling period, Gebruder Weiss is confident about the country’s long-term prospects. China Logistics Company Organization Continues Strong Revenue Growth in 2025 The rapidly expanding e-commerce sector is the main driver behind this movement.

China’s GDP grew by 4.8 percent in the third quarter of 2025, down from 5.2 percent growth last year. Trade tensions with the United States, weak domestic demand, and a weak real estate sector are slowing the economy. For Gebruder Weiss, the picture looks different. By expanding its warehouse operations, including specialized online fulfillment and e-commerce solutions, the company secured new customers and strengthened its position as a full-service logistics provider. Major industries include automobiles, machinery and electronics.

The European Union remains the company’s largest market and strongest growth engine.

“Our steady growth underlines the strategic importance of the Chinese market for Gerberder Weiss, and shows how successfully we have grown in recent years,” says Yongquan Chen, general manager of Gerberder Weiss China. “We have strong capabilities in air and ocean freight, and are also well-positioned in intermodal transportation, rail services and warehouse logistics, where we deliver customized solutions quickly and accurately.”

Gebrüder Weiss has been operating in China for over 30 years, opening its first office in Shanghai in 1992. The company quickly expanded to major coastal cities and economic centers.
