Gebrüder Weiss posted net revenues of 2.73 billion euros in 2025, edging past the prior year despite a sluggish European economy, as the Austrian logistics group expanded into Southeast Asia, deepened its North American footprint, and pushed capital spending 16 percent higher.
The result, announced March 12, marks a modest rise from 2.71 billion euros in 2024 and underlines the company’s ability to hold ground in its core Central European markets while pursuing growth elsewhere. The equity ratio remained above 60 percent, a level management described as evidence of financial strength heading into an uncertain 2026.
Land Transport Holds, Air and Sea Rates Bite
European land transport, the group’s largest segment, generated revenues of 1.55 billion euros, up from 1.52 billion euros a year earlier. Germany, the group’s single largest market, saw revenues dip marginally, though the company said it gained additional market share there. Positions in Eastern Europe were also extended.
Home Delivery volumes continued to grow, with consignment numbers rising to 1.36 million from 1.31 million in 2024.
The Air and Sea division told a different story. Volumes on Europe to Asia corridors and within Asia climbed, with e-commerce flows between China and Europe driving much of the air freight increase. But rate compression in both air and ocean freight dragged divisional revenues down to 913 million euros from 929 million euros the year before, illustrating how volume gains can be offset when markets soften.
Contract logistics and supply chain management bucked the broader trend, posting a 7 percent revenue increase to 147 million euros. DPD Austria, in which Gebrüder Weiss holds a partial ownership stake, also grew, handling 64.6 million parcels, up 3.6 percent year on year.
Network Expansion Spans Three Continents
Capital investment reached 146 million euros in 2025, some 16 percent above the 126 million euros committed in 2024. The funds went toward network expansion, automation, and digitalization projects that management said allowed higher consignment volumes to be absorbed without a proportional increase in fixed costs.
In Southeast Asia, the company established new country organizations in Thailand and the Philippines. In Türkiye, a majority stake in Sienzi Lojistik strengthened customs handling and warehouse logistics capacity around Istanbul. In North America, a new office in Phoenix, Arizona extended the company’s regional reach.
“Our focus in North America is simple: help our customers move goods with confidence, even in uncertain conditions,” said Mark McCullough, CEO of Gebrüder Weiss North America.
In Europe, investment activity touched locations in Zagreb, Aldingen, and Wels, while work began on extending the Salzburg site. The new logistics and IT center in Wolfurt, Austria, entered operation during the year, anchoring a fully automated high-bay warehouse that the company said combines advanced logistics processes with high sustainability standards.
Sustainability Targets Drive Infrastructure Spending
Gebrüder Weiss continued to expand its photovoltaic capacity, bringing total installed power to 19.7 megawatt peak after adding modules at multiple sites. The 15,000 megawatt-hours generated annually now cover roughly half of the group’s global electricity requirements.
The company also added 14 electric trucks to its Austrian fleet and extended charging infrastructure in support of its commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative, which sets scientifically validated emissions reduction pathways. A Book and Claim model for sustainable aviation and marine fuels allows customers to allocate certified emission reductions to individual shipments.
CEO Wolfram Senger-Weiss pointed to continued geopolitical pressure as the defining challenge for the year ahead, citing recent Middle East escalation as a reminder of how quickly supply chain disruptions can materialize. “Stable transport networks and dependable partners have become imperatives,” he said, adding that the group’s financial position and ongoing investment in technology and infrastructure would support clients through the volatility ahead.
Gebrüder Weiss employs approximately 8,600 people, a figure unchanged from 2024.
