In 2011, GW achieved net sales of over a billion euros for the first time, representing a one hundred per cent increase over the last decade. The strategy behind this was never based on (relative) size, but on competitive-ness, sustainability and independence.

By independence we mean the freedom to take

business decisions autonomously and to deter-

mine the direction and rate of GW’s develop-

ment for ourselves, fully aware that we are

exposed to external factors and rely on the

support of all stakeholders.

Our current success is based on a solid founda-

tion and supported by many pillars. Domestic

and international land transport have recently

held their own in the face of tough competition,

the logistics solutions division is growing in

stature all the time, Air & Sea has shown great

strength in a volatile environment, CEP is

defending its excellent market position in Aus-

tria and business areas such as inet, dicall and

x|vise are making an impression through inno-

vative concepts and a high level of competency.

Individual examples of outstanding achieve-

ment at regional and divisional level also

deserve a special mention, as do ambitious

projects involving leading customers from

various sectors. Particular emphasis has

also been placed on sales structure and

Our success is built on many pillars

sustainability. Here, I would also like to high-

light the valuable contribution of all Corporate

services throughout the Group, which are

essential for the “orange network” to maintain

its customary standard.

Volatility and resilience are current terms that

are here to stay. For GW, this basically means

trying to find the right balance between stability

and continuity on the one hand, and dynamism

and courage on the other, despite the unpre-

dictability of the global economy. The greatest

challenges are to develop new markets, keep

pace with technology, make the “right” invest-

ment decisions, identify market requirements

promptly and respond appropriately, as well as

to make sure we always recruit and retain the

best staff.

The very encouraging results for 2011 spur

us on not only to maintain our course, but to

stay flexible in every respect in order to keep

meeting the expectations with regard to GW’s

Service Excellence.

We must make sure we always recruit and retain the best staff.

Sustainability at Gebrüder Weiss is more than just lip service. By retroactively purchasing a wind farm in April 2011, the company com-pleted a further sustainability project. And with this investment in renewable energy once again set a clear example in the compatibility of ecology and economy.

The wind farm in northern Germany consists of

four wind turbines with a nominal capacity of

two megawatts each. Around 20 gigawatt hours

of electricity will be produced per year, which

accounts for more than 100% of the Group’s

energy requirements. The purchased E-82 type

wind turbines with a hub height of 108 metres

(manufactured by Enercon) are at the cutting

edge of technology, gearless and consequently

low-maintenance and cost-efficient. Another

advantage: Wind energy makes an important

contribution to climate protection, since large

quantities of greenhouse gas emissions can

be avoided through this natural energy source.

In the case of the Gebrüder Weiss Wind Farm,

around 12,000 tonnes of CO² will be saved each

year. The reduction of CO² emissions is one of

the core goals of GW’s environmental manage-

ment. There are many applications where fossil

fuels, especially oil products, still cannot be

substituted. But Gebrüder Weiss is permanently

working to find alternatives and to be at the

cutting edge of technology. This applies to the

choice of vehicles, to the construction of logis-

tics systems, and also to the use of alternative

traffic carriers (e.g. rail).

Green logistics:Gebrüder Weiss relieson wind power

Investing in the future – the climate-neutral logistics hall in Wörgl.

The entire construction project was supported by ClimatePartner

Austria GmbH, international strategic consultants in voluntary

climate protection. In accordance with their approach of “pre-

vention is better than reduction is better than offset”, even the

building materials were chosen with climate-neutral aspects in

mind: the new hall was built entirely using a wood frame method

because by avoiding the usual metal panels, less CO² is gener-

ated. In addition, the use of an energy-saving heat pump as the

heat source will achieve a reduction in greenhouse gases of

around 59 tonnes per year. These structural measures to reduce

CO² are rounded off by a conversion of the entire logistics facility

to renewable energy. The new logistics warehouse created

1,300 m² of new handling and commissioning space, along with

an additional cold store with 150 pallet spaces.

Gebrüder Weiss is committed to sustainability, as proven once again by the construction of Austria’s first climate-neutral logistics hall at the Wörgl site.

Employer qualities:Gebrüder Weiss defendsleading position

A pleasing result for Gebrüder Weiss: 29th place in the image ranking.

Gebrüder Weiss is one of the best employers in Austria – this was confirmed in 2011 when the company was awarded once again in the Austria-wide “Great Place to Work” competition.

Moreover, Gebrüder Weiss received the special

prize as Austria’s “Best Employer for Appren-

tices”. According to the jury, the company’s

training concept is very sophisticated and they

offer numerous apprenticeships in various pro-

fessions. The extensive measures and special

training range from professional seminars to

apprentice camps, where both professional as

well as social skills are developed. What ulti-

mately convinced the jury was the standardised

quality testing which accompanies the training.

In the 2011 Swiss Employer Award competition,

Gebrüder Weiss was ranked 19th among 80

participants and reached an outstanding

6th place in the individual category “Personnel

Development”.

Gebrüder Weiss achieved a further success with its reputation: in the image ranking survey, annually held by the Austrian business magazine “GEWINN”, Gebrüder Weiss was ranked 29th from a total of 1,000 participating large companies.

This means that Gebrüder Weiss – despite a com-

paratively low advertising budget – has moved

up 17 places compared to the previous year and

now ranks among Austria’s best companies and

brands. The ranking is based on the results of

a questionnaire that had been sent out to more

than 3,000 Austrian Managers. The questions

were two-tier: on the one hand, the respondents

named the company they thought enjoyed the

best reputation in Austria; on the other hand,

questions included the name of the company with

the best image in eight categories: management

quality, financial strength of the company, repu-

tation as a career forger, marketing and advertis-

ing presence, innovativeness, responsibility for

the environment, product and service quality,

sustainability. In Vorarlberg, the company’s

“home base”, Gebrüder Weiss has an excellent

recognition degree of 99 per cent, as the “hit

parade of Vorarlberg brands 2011” showed.

Highlights 2011

America:Gebrüder Weiss Air & Seais expanding its network

Network expansion: customers can look forward to better connections from and to South America.

A key milestone in the past year was the expansion of the South American network by alliance partner Röhlig Logistics.

Professional structures for transport and logistics services are

now available in Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay as

well. As a result of the cooperation, the Gebrüder Weiss and

Röhlig global Air & Sea network has been extended by seven

branches. Also in northern America, the Weiss-Röhlig network

was expanded by means of company takeovers and the opening

of branch offices in Boston, Chicago and Miami. With continuing

growth, the Air & Sea network is playing an increasingly impor-

tant role in the Group. Sea freight, in particular, has seen strong

growth in recent years. Gebrüder Weiss Air & Sea intends to

continue to focus on the ongoing development of the Project and

Break Bulk segment.

Investment in Czech Republic: New location near Prague

First step into the Caucasus:GW and Tegeta Motors Ltd.establish joint venture

Gebrüder Weiss is increasing its presence on the Czech market. In Jeneč, located in the immediate vicinity of Prague, the transport and logistics company is building a new branch with an office complex and cross-docking facilities.

The terminal will be situated in a convenient location near the

international airport with easy access to major traffic routes

around the Czech capital. Investments will amount to approx.

15 million euro. The groundbreaking ceremony took place in

late November 2011. The terminal is built on an area of around

75,000 m². In a first phase, until the autumn of 2012, 10,000 m²

of handling and logistics space (a cross-docking warehouse with

61 gates) and 3,000 m² of office space are built. Depending on the

needs, further logistics areas will be added. Jeneč is the eighth

location of Gebrüder Weiss in the Czech Republic. Other branches

exist in Rudná, Říčany-Jažlovice, Ostrava, Modřice, České

Budějovice, Hradec Králové and Prague.

Gebrüder Weiss opened up new markets in 2011 and also laid the foundation for the first pioneering presence in the Caucasus region.

A joint venture has been established with Tegeta

Motors Ltd. with Gebrüder Weiss having a majority

stake. The joint venture operates under the name

Gebrüder Weiss and offers land transport, air and

sea freight services as well as logistics solutions.

By entering the market in Georgia, Gebrüder

Weiss is strengthening its regional organisation

and develops business in the Caucasus region

and the so-called “Stan” countries. Through the

joint venture, Gebrüder Weiss is building a stra-

tegically important platform in the Caucasus –

a region that is developing into a hub between

the booming markets in Asia and Europe. In

Tbilisi, logistics facilities with some 10,000 m²

of warehouse space will be completed in early

2013. Tegeta Motors Ltd. is the leading provider

of spare parts and service work (cars and trucks)

in Georgia and exclusive distributor for many

international brands in the automotive industry.

Highlights 2011

“Dual-fuel drive”: along with a diesel tank, the vehicle has two 150-litre gas tanks.

In normal operation the 40-tonne truck runs on a mixture of 70%

methane gas (35% climate-neutral biogas, 35% natural gas) and

30% diesel. This reduces annual CO² emissions by 58% com-

pared to all-diesel vehicles. The HGV travels regularly between

the sites of Gebrüder Weiss customer Siemens Austria in Vienna,

enabling environmentally friendly transport management. In

collaboration with project partners Salzburg AG and Siemens AG,

Gebrüder Weiss had the Volvo truck converted to a dual-fuel

system by Infinite GmbH in Salzburg in just two weeks. The vehicle

meets Enhanced Environmentally Friendly Vehicle (EEV) require-

ments, presently the strictest harmful emission regulations for

internal combustion engines.

Gebrüder Weiss has added the first gas-powered HGV fitted with a dual-fuel drive to its vehicle fleet at the Maria Lanzendorf (Vienna) site.

Alongside factors such as financial auton-omy, a long-term business strategy and strong, tried and tested corporate values, the business success of Gebrüder Weiss is guaranteed by its “courage to try something new”. The transport and logistics provider has always understood how to adapt to new circumstances in a flexible manner, combin-ing established practices with new ideas and constantly reviewing its portfolio.

The service range currently extends from inter-

national transport by road, rail, sea and air to

comprehensive logistics solutions covering the

entire supply chain of its customers. Apart

from many world-wide branches, also highly-

specialised brands contribute to this extensive

service portfolio: industry solutions such as

tectraxx, automotive logistics, leisure+sports

logistics and fashionet as well as subsidiaries

such as x|vise, inet-logistics, dicall, Gebrüder

Weiss parcel service GWP and Gebrüder Weiss

Rail Cargo make the Group one of the most

versatile in the market.

The company’s aim of continued growth and

becoming one of the best in the industry is

being pursued by all divisions. However, the

key to success mainly lies in the ability of the

individual divisions to interact, complement

and profit from each other effectively.

A carefully thought-out, flexible network has

thus been created, which enables Gebrüder

Weiss to face the growing challenges of the

logistics sector with innovative solutions and

to continue to optimise existing networks

and structures.

A love of mobility and the courage to try something new

Gebrüder Weiss is currently one of the most successful and versatile transport and logistics companies in the market.

Integral transport solutions

Turnover in the land transport sector increased yet again due to stable to positive economic development in Gebrüder Weiss’ core markets. Growth amounts to more than 10 per cent com-pared with the previous year. Gebrüder Weiss also made significant progress last year in terms of quality with GW pro.line.

What was the highlight of 2011? One of the obvious highlights was the launch of

GW pro.line in March 2011. This was an impor-

tant milestone in the continued improvement

of our general cargo services in Europe. Also

worth mentioning is the successful handling of

quantities during the extremely strong months

of October and November when unprecedented

daily quantities were processed. The GW organi-

sation displayed an excellent ability to work

under pressure during this period in various

locations in Austria.

The GW pro.line catchword: Can you provide an initial summary? Production associated with our wide range of

direct transport services has proven effective

and operates smoothly with the integration

of internal and external platforms. The costs

have been in line with the market. GW pro.line

provided additional impulses which support

the excellent development of our general cargo

transport services in Europe.

Land transport forms the backbone of the traditional com-pany Gebrüder Weiss. 70 per cent of the Group’s overall turnover was generated by this division in 2011 represent-ing over 706 million euros. 87 branches throughout Europe have contributed to this success, as well as a forward-looking, international focus, the continued development of platform transport and a large team of highly committed employees. Another key factor for success is the strong partner network: Gebrüder Weiss has been cooperating with the majority of its partners for several decades. In addition, the company is one of the founding members of the System Alliance Europe (SAE).

What does the term independence mean for your sector? It indicates the confidence of our customers in a highly competitive industry. It also refers to the financial success guaranteed by the highly professional employees working on a corpo-rate basis within the seamless GW organisa-tion. However, independence also signifies strong, long-term international partner rela-tionships and networks. Our high level of com-mitment to the network was acknowledged by the silver and bronze Partner of the Year 2010 awards granted by the SAE in May 2011.

What will 2012 bring? If only I knew! (laughs) Volatility will probably

remain in the markets but I believe that the situ-

ation will be significantly better than has been

predicted for 2012. Personally, I am convinced

that the land transport sector of Gebrüder

Weiss will be able to face the challenges of

2012 in an innovative, offensive manner.

Reference projectWith GW pro.line, Gebrüder Weiss has been

connecting its customers since 2011 to central

and peripheral areas throughout Europe in an

even more efficient manner. GW pro.line is the

new, high-quality product line in land transport

with daily departures, clearly defined tran-

sit times and specified quality standards. All

groupage transport is therefore united under

one single brand name throughout Europe. A

comprehensive network of branches and part-

ners guarantees a seamless service over 10.5

million square kilometres.

Walter KonzettHead of Product Management Land Transport

More than the sum of all the parts

Service excellence is one of the basic orange values, particularly in the logistics field where individual solutions are tailor-made for each customer. Gebrüder Weiss set new standards last year in the field of warehouse logistics, as confirmed in an interview with Harry Stiastny.

How do you see 2011? One of the highlights was definitely the consoli-

dation of warehouse logistics Product Manage-

ment in the second half of 2011. In this field, we

focussed in particular on the issue of process

optimisation in order to enhance the skills of

our branches. Within the framework of large

customer projects, we worked intensively with

IT tools for supply chain management and have

created a basic set-up in this area in order to

provide a clear presentation of customer

processes.

What is required in order to be successful even during periods of economic crisis? The most important requirement in the case of our individual logistics solutions is flex-ibility. We must remain flexible in order to be able to respond quickly to changing customer requirements. Stiff structures are restrictive in this respect. One of the secrets of Gebrüder Weiss’ success is the fact that we are able to guarantee satisfaction even during difficult times, thanks to our flexibility. It is also clear, however, that the partnership cooperation with our logistics customers is a success factor, as joint solutions can be developed on this basis under changing market conditions.

Things often have to be done quickly. In many cases, the difference between a successful business and a washout is simply a matter of a few minutes. The magic word is efficiency. From procurement to delivery and from individual consignments to mass distribution, orange logistics develops individual solutions for the entire supply chain. Carefully thought-out, tailor-made logistics solutions and a perfectly synchronised trans-port network guarantee decisive progress. Intelligent warehouse logistics ensures optimal stock levels as well as a rapid flow of goods. Targeted outsourcing of business processes increases efficiency. There are 1,000 possibilities. But they all come from one single source.

What does independence mean in the field of logistics? For us, independence means that we are able to create and implement tailor-made individual logistics solutions rapidly for our customers. It enables us to be flexible even in terms of required investments thanks to short decision-making processes.

What is your outlook for 2012? This year will certainly be marked by market

insecurity and a certain scepticism with regard

to the global economic situation. Emphasis will

be placed on sales, with an increased focus in

2012 on the customer value chain. Of course,

we will also continue to work on the optimisation

of existing business. Furthermore, one of our

core themes will be the continued development

of process know-how.

Reference project The distance between Lauterach and Singapore

is 10,220 kilometres as the crow flies. The

Vorarlberg high-tech company Tridonic, which

specialises in individual light installations,

adopted a “made in Austria” logistics solution

in 2011 in order to continue to succeed in the

booming Asian market in the future. Wolfgang

Brunner’s team created an individual warehouse

logistics system for the Tridonic branch in Sin-

gapore, the Asian hub of the company based

in Dornbirn. State-of-the-art warehouse man-

agement systems and intelligent IT processes

according to European standards help Tridonic

to respond effectively to the leading markets in

Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The assign-

ment in the southeast Asian city state is a first

for Gebrüder Weiss: For the first time outside

Europe, picking takes place voucherless.

28

Orange air and sea presence

Not only has Gebrüder Weiss Air & Sea fully recovered from the global economic and financial crisis, it has also emerged stronger: Based on the consolidated turnover of 236.8 million euros, 2011 was by far the best year in the division’s history. This corresponds to growth of 9.4 per cent. “This success has been possible thanks to the strength of our global network,” confirms Joe Lässer in the interview.

What was the highlight of 2011?An important milestone was the expansion of

the South American network through our global

business partner Röhlig Logistics. Our con-

stantly expanding Air & Sea network is playing

an increasingly important role within the Group.

Sea freight, in particular, has seen strong

growth in recent years. Transport volumes

increased significantly in 2011. This success

is also due to economic reasons: in the context

of our uncertain worldwide economic situation,

many companies have transferred their transport

routes from air to sea. The complete relocation

of the previous forms of transport has not yet

taken place as a result of the adaptation of the

supply chain. Many companies have remained

loyal to sea routes.

What is the situation with regard to the expansion of the orange network? We have expanded our service portfolio in the USA with the takeover of three companies: the new location in Boston is extremely important for transpacific transport between China and Europe. Our South American hub is in Miami. We are also now able to offer comprehensive customs services in the USA. With the acquisi-tion of the transport specialists JHB Express in Tokyo and Osaka, we have also become a fully-fledged, internationally aligned forwarder in Japan.

GW Air & Sea, the air and sea freight division of Gebrüder Weiss guarantees orange presence on the oceans and in the air. Whether it is Frankfurt, Chicago or Shanghai: all major air cargo hubs are covered by Gebrüder Weiss’ services. Sea freight can be shipped from any port - worldwide. GW charters fixed spaces on major routes and thus provides a reliable storage space guarantee. The monitoring of goods by means of modern IT systems and unified quality standards guarantee customers a high degree of transparency and planning security.

Independence is extremely important for Gebrüder Weiss. How can this value be applied in every-day business? Independence for me also relates to the indi-vidual within his decision-making area. As a service company, we rely on making quick decisions. We encourage our employees in this respect, in accordance with the regulation of approval powers. I am therefore convinced that our staff’s independence contributes sub-stantially to corporate success.

What are the plans for 2012? There are some exciting projects ahead. We will

continue to invest in the Far East and are cur-

rently developing Vietnam as a Weiss-Röhlig

country. We would also like to promote our

relatively new but already extremely success-

ful Project and Break Bulk business on a global

scale. In order to develop high-capacity trans-

port in south-eastern Europe, we also intend

to make more use of the Danube as a traffic

artery. I am also delighted that we are enjoying

increasing success in the area of global human

resources development. We have implemented

successful programmes in this context over

recent years and are currently inspiring a con-

siderable number of high-potential candidates

to join our company. We prepare existing

employees as far as possible to deal with the

increasingly complex tasks presented in our

international network.

Reference project The orange network created even closer links

in 2011 with the continent of the future, Asia.

The joint venture Weiss-Röhlig acquired the

Japanese logistics specialist JHB Express

based in Tokyo and Osaka. Weiss-Röhlig Japan

quickly integrated the company and is continuing

its air and sea freight business seamlessly. All

employees continue to work for the joint ven-

ture. In addition to boosting our inner-Asian

transport services, the increase in capacity will

be particularly beneficial for our major trading

partners in the USA and Europe.

30

Having a passion for providing excellent services

Parcel services are in vogue: the courier, express and parcel services (CEP) division was able to gain four per cent in 2011 with consolidated net sales of 122.1 million euros. These great results also reflect the high motivation of our staff, explains Andreas Winkelmayer in an interview.

What was your highlight in 2011?That was certainly our B2C project with BIPA,

where we are currently shipping 4,000 parcels

a month. We also strongly focussed on sustain-

ability in the past year. For example by sending

30 per cent of all invoices by e-mail and offering

regular fuel-saving training sessions for our truck

drivers. A further highlight for me was the Marco

Polo programme, offering our employees the

opportunity to gain valuable experiences abroad.

How important is independence in your field of work?Independence leaves us room for manoeuvre, which we use for creative and courageous decisions – always in the sense of customer service, as is the case with our “primetime” product. We can listen and respond to the market better than others, because we are free to act without any dependencies.

The Gebrüder Weiss parcel service (GWP) is the master of all classes. In the field of domestic parcel services, GWP provides a comprehensive 24-hour service for parcels up to 31.5 kilogrammes from Lake Constance to Lake Neusiedl. As a partner of DPD, GWP looks beyond the horizon and links Austria to the international parcel service. All service standards, such as online proof of delivery, seamless Track & Trace as well as automatic parcel insurance, are fulfilled by GWP with the same level of reliability as the Austrian market leader.

31

Can success only be measured in numbers?No, it can also be measured by the level of employee and customer satisfaction. Only happy employees contribute to the success of a company. We have a real passion for providing excellent services and for that reason there is nothing more valuable to us than positive customer feedback. And it seems we are doing things right.

What's coming in 2012?We intend to expand our B2C business, for

example by intensifying our successful coop-

eration with BIPA. And in a sustainable manner.

We want to increase our shipments by rail. But

above all, we are committed to our ethos of

“service first”. This means we will satisfy our

customers' needs to the last detail. What we

do, we do right – also in 2012.

Reference projectFrom shampoo and baby food to flip-flops:

Consistently good advice rather than continually wrong numbers

The orange Customer Care Centre offers online professional advice for all areas of business: from potential analysis, customer satisfaction surveys, sales preparation, con-sulting services and order processing through to complaints, info-hotlines, repair logistics and training for telephone service providers. Whether inbound or outbound, the customer’s wish is dicall’s command.

Florian Maurer on the successful expansion of dicall’s business:“The results in 2011 were very positive,” says

Florian Maurer. In the inbound sector, the previ-

ous year’s high standards were maintained. In

the outbound sector, new reference customers

could be won. “We were able to position our-

selves really well in 2011 because our services

Gebrüder Weiss’ sports industry solution

Manufacturers and retailers benefit from logistics know-how, platform logistics, returns management and IT solutions for the sporting goods industry.

Review and outlook from Klaus Bannwarth:“During 2011 we continued to expand our

customer base and win new business in

south-eastern Europe,” says Klaus Bann-

warth. “Turnover from existing customers of

leisure+sports logistics remained stable.” The

sports and leisure industry has not completely

escaped the effects of the economic crisis,

especially in Hungary, reports Bannwarth: “its

impact on people’s purchasing power is notice-

able.” The Gebrüder Weiss cycle team’s victory

in the Tchibo Cup did, however, help promote

leisure+sports logistics more widely. “We are

making very good progress and we will continue

to be systematic in our pursuit of success.”

In 2012 the main event will be the Olympic

Summer Games in London – a ‘home match’

for Bannwarth and his team.

In the Olympics, the most important thing is taking part. However, with leisure+sports logistics, the Gebrüder Weiss solution for the leisure and sports industries, customers are real winners – always.

GW removes the last barriers for customers

Decades of experience facilitates easy cross-border business. All customs formalities and goods declarations are handled promptly, reli-ably and in the most efficient way.

Thomas Zeillinger on the challenges facing the customs services division:“At Gebrüder Weiss Austria we crossed the

300,000 mark in 2011 with 313,672 electronic

customs declarations processed – a record

since the introduction of e-zoll in 2006,” Thom-

as Zeillinger is delighted to report. “This con-

solidates our position as market leader in the

customs clearance business and underlines the

outstanding work and expertise of all our sub-

sidiaries – without them, this success would not

have been possible.” A key topic over the past

year has been Croatia’s entry into the EU in July

2013. As Gebrüder Weiss is considered a model

business by the Austrian authorities, a delega-

tion consisting of high-ranking representatives

from the Croatian customs authorities visited

Gebrüder Weiss to look at customs procedures

from a business perspective. 2012 will be just

as challenging. “We want to raise the standard

of our services even higher, despite the eco-

nomic crisis,” says Zeillinger. “In 2012, too, we

will consolidate our reputation in the market,

due to our customs expertise.”

With Schengen Agreement, borders within Europe have been more or less abolished – but only more or less. For customers of Gebrüder Weiss’ customs experts, there are no more barriers – and that’s the case worldwide.

State-of-the-artlogistics solutions

When it comes to designing intelligent con-venience concepts or efficient warehouse logistics, the x|vise team has many years of experience to offer.

Review and outlook from Harry Stiastny: “2011 was an exciting year for us because we

were able to establish ourselves more firmly in

the field of production logistics consultation,”

says Harry Stiastny. For one Vorarlberg building

supplies manufacturer, we produced a tailor-

made simulation tool to optimise transport

costs. For the Vienna building supplier Sochor,

the x|vise team handled the entire warehouse

and process planning, including management of

traffic flow through the plant. In addition to pro-

duction logistics, the focus for 2012 is on the

development of our general planning services

for warehouse logistics, so that x|vise can guide

its customers through the whole process from

needs analysis through to project management

and implementation. The core Austrian market

will be extended, but also, as Stiastny explains:

“We want to look beyond borders and remain a

trendsetter in our field.”

Forward-looking businesses need state-of-the-art solutions. The logistics experts from x|vise advise firms at every stage of their projects, from initial planning and consultation through to logistics management support.

Wolfgang Erhart on the development of inet-logistics:“We were very successful in 2011, taking another

step towards increasing our international pres-

ence,” explains Wolfgang Erhart. On the one

hand, inet-logistics expanded our subsidiaries in

Thailand, which provide development, test and

support services, and gained an additional sales

subsidiary in China. On the other hand, firms

in Brazil, South Africa, Singapore, Italy and the

Netherlands are now using inet-logistics’ online

transport management system, which is based

in Vorarlberg. “In 2011 we managed the leap

over the Atlantic,” says Erhart. In 2012 Erhart

and team want to focus more on large customers

and a global rollout. To lift the business up to the

next level, this year inet-logistics is aiming for

exceptional reliability. “Our customers trust

us with their core business and we want to

further strengthen this confidence,” explains

the Managing Director.

In 80 countries around the globe, medium-sized businesses and large concerns rely on the trans-port management system TMS, produced by inet-logistics, a subsidiary of Gebrüder Weiss which was founded in 1999 and is based in Dornbirn, Austria.

Specialist solutions for the future

In addition to standard transport and distri-bution tasks, tectraxx brings added value to the hi-tech sector in the area of supply chain services. Add-on services such as call centres, consulting services and invoice processing all form part of the reliable tectraxx brand.

Bernd Breugem sums up the last year: In 2011 tectraxx focussed on further develop-

ing its high-value transport solutions through

comprehensive on-site services. tectraxx

has also refined its home delivery services.

“This confirms that, as experts in this area, we

offer our customers great added value,” says

Bernd Breugem. Together with partners from

the Teneso network, the technical distribution

branch was able to expand once again and in

2012 Breugem and his team want to further

advance their services in this area. Thanks to

tectraxx expertise and its own IT development,

this year the repair logistics team were also able

to offer improved transparency in the whole

delivery process. “The combination of services

offers an attractive package of unique, high-

value solutions. For tectraxx this will be another

stage in our development in 2012,” explains

Breugem.

Expert solutions for railway logistics

Every year since 1993, almost a million tons of freight have been transported by this en-vironmentally friendly, low-carbon method – not just in Austria, but in the whole of Europe. And completely unaffected by traffic jams.

Walter Dolezal on developments at GW Rail Cargo:For GW Rail Cargo, 2011 saw a large contract

from the oil industry, with 60,000 tons of the

aviation fuel kerosene being transported to

Schwechat near Vienna and 35,000 tons being

transported to Munich airport. The procedure

involved the exact coordination of loading times

at the Slovenian port of Koper, train routes

and unloading time slots at the storage facil-

ity in Munich. “Both contracts were carried out

to the complete satisfaction of the customer,”

Walter Dolezal is pleased to report. In 2011 a

total of 800,000 tons of freight were handled by

GW Rail Cargo. In 2012 Dolezal and his team

will focus again on southern and south-eastern

Europe, working closely with European rail

companies. “In 2012 GW Rail Cargo will con-

tinue to stand for expert solutions in the field

of railway logistics,” says Dolezal.

Making the railway the future is the motto of GW Rail Cargo, the rail transport member of the orange family.

Top-class modern logistics services

Europe’s most renowned manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers rely on its efficient supply chain management.

Review and outlook from Kurt Pichler:“In 2011 our priority was to retain and con-

solidate our existing position,” explains Kurt

Pichler. With plenty of new customers, new

markets are opening up for us, above all in

south-eastern Europe and in the area of full

truckload traffic (FTL). There have also been

interesting discussions in the areas of general

cargo and inbound traffic. For 2012, Gebrüder

Weiss automotive logistics is setting its sights

on increased business from existing customers.

Moreover, the focus will be on winning new

customers in central and eastern Europe, cross-

selling activities and key accounting. “We want

to penetrate more deeply into the automotive

sector and impress new customers with our

competence in this specific, challenging field

of business,” says Pichler.

There’s more to a modern car than just HP and cc; there is also a whole load of logistics involved. auto-motive logistics, Gebrüder Weiss’ competence and solutions centre for the automotive trade is leading the way for modern logistics services.

Everyone wants to be able to behave in a free and autonomous way. But what does indepen-dence actually mean? How does it manifest itself? And how can it be maintained?

Free at last! Everyone knows that great summer

feeling you get when the rippling sea you’ve

been eagerly anticipating suddenly appears

on the horizon after hours of driving. The mere

sight of that distant blue ribbon awakens long-

forgotten memories of past holidays. Likewise,

everyone knows and loves the exciting and

exotic scents of foreign cities, or the sense of

freedom you experience when you’re just a

stone’s throw from your mountain shelter in the

middle of nowhere, and can finally forget all

the stresses and strains of urban life and take

a rest from work. At last there’s no alarm clock

to interrupt your deep sleep every morning, no

set time to get to the office, no meetings, no

travel plans and no business trips – at least not

for a week or two. Independence and relaxation:

that’s what millions of Europeans want from

their summer holidays year after year. Holidays

are the loveliest time of year for many people

and the time when they generally succeed in

achieving the desired sense of independence

and relaxation. However, closer examination

shows that more and more people and organ-

isations are struggling to achieve the same in

their day-to-day lives and activities. Everyone

wants to be able to behave in a free and autono-

mous way. But what does independence actu-

ally mean? How does it manifest itself and how

does it become apparent? And what can you

do to achieve, protect and maintain your own

independence? It’s time to take a closer look at

a fundamental concept of modern life.

Freedom, not isolation“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man

is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.”

John Donne, an English poet who philosophised

about the metaphysical phenomena of human

existence in the 16th century, was already well

acquainted with the peculiar characteristic of

human freedom almost 500 years ago. Com-

plete independence is almost impossible in the

age of global networking, whether it is through

social networks on the internet, such as Face-

book, Twitter and Xing, or through economic

integration in the global market. And yet inde-

pendence is considered to be something of

fundamental value, not only in the national and

political sense, but also in an economic context.

Every company is striving to make a commercial

profit without being constrained by directives;

establish an organisational culture that enables

every link in the chain to function and work at

its best; and invest in long-term visions, rather

than having to respond to short-term currency

fluctuations.

It’s a marathon, not a sprintThe route to independence is generally not a sprint, but a marathon. Only people who save their strength and have something in reserve for times of need will be able to make the surge at the decisive moment and reach their goal. After all every freedom must be fought for. When Thomas Jefferson gained independence for his country in 1776 and made his preamble to the King of England, he was laying the foundations for what is today the most powerful and rich-

est nation in the world – the United States of America. He said that the dependence of the thirteen colonies on Great Britain was hindering trade, bringing corruption into the administra-tion, torpedoing justice and impeding the politi-cal process. Enough reasons to throw down the gauntlet to London, Jefferson decided, as he declared the USA to be independent in the mid-dle of the bloody chaos of war. In international law, sovereignty is defined as the fundamental independence of a country from other countries and its right to rule on matters relating to its own national constitution. Even today, nations are striving for independence and the right to con-trol their own future. The United Nations (UN) grants independence to every nation – at least in theory. Nonetheless independence has its own cost.

Remaining independent together Friction is created when the independence

of one party restricts the independence of

another. Violent conflicts are often the result

of this kind of activism. In the age of global

networking and the interconnection of nations

and societies, it’s the end of the road for the

old idea of the independent state. More and

more countries are giving up elements of their

sovereignty to supra-national organisations

such as the European Union (EU), the UN or,

in times of financial crisis, the World Bank.

Countries can often achieve more when they

work together rather than pursuing an isolated

desire for absolute independence. The more

we cooperate at international level and the

more intensive this is, the less independent

we are, but then there is also less danger of

violent conflicts being played out. The EU,

which comprises a group of independent

countries and economies, was established

in the wake of the horror of the Second World

War on the basis of just this belief.

The boundaries of independence Independence is not an end in itself. Like in an

orchestra, where every instrument gives up a

part of its independence for the benefit of musi-

cal harmony, countries must also make com-

promises from time to time like all other social

structures. Parliamentarians, for example, are

guaranteed an independent mandate in most

democratic countries. Whether they rely on this

in a vote or whether they feel the compulsion

to vote, depends on each individual. Philoso-

phers have been racking their brains about the

boundaries of independence for many hundreds

of years. Immanuel Kant, for example, saw

independence as the opportunity for people to

determine who and what they are in their capac-

ity as intelligent beings. Striving too hard for

independence can lead to self-determination

becoming a problem – particularly when it is

viewed from a social perspective such as isola-

tion. Living together is only possible when peo-

ple have the opportunity to play an independent

role in social processes. This has long been

true, not only in politics.

Independence isn’t given to us for free.Success is a prerequisite for independence.

Simply put, you can only act, live and manage

matters free from interventions if you can afford

to. When young adults gradually break away

from the parental home, they can only reach

their desired freedom in the long-term if they

can provide their own food, a roof over their

heads and everything else that comes with the

adult world.

A country is no more in a position to do without

partnerships, whether of a strategic, political

or commercial nature, than a company is. The

stronger the partnership, the more impressive

the external impact. Often all that is needed

is cooperation with competitors. In times of

densely networked international economies and

the eagerness for short-term profits in many

equity markets, the value of independence is

catching on more and more in people’s minds.

Anyone who doesn’t think in quarters but in

generations is no longer looking for a quick win

on the stock markets, but instead is looking for

sustainable solutions in order to preserve their

independence. Today, strong partnerships and

collaboration guarantee an individual’s inde-

pendence in more and more market sectors.

No independence without dependabilityAfter all independence also means being the

architect of your own good fortune. For exam-

ple, the more successful a division of a com-

pany is, the more customers it attracts or the

more turnover it generates, the more likely head

office will let it have a free rein with its projects.

It is also fair to conclude that a department

can demonstrate more success when it can act

independently and flexibly. Granting another

person independence has a lot to do with trust,

and not only when it involves a conflict situation

in a parent-child relationship. It also requires

dependability. Can I trust the other person with

enough personal responsibility to let them live

independently? Will I manage to leave my desire

for control to one side for a moment when the

other person is striving for independence?

Independence always takes two: one person

to enjoy it and another to allow it to happen.

It is not only to be found on the beach or in an

Alpine hut.

Anyone who thinks in generations is not looking for quick wins.

51

An independent person is someone who strives for freedom and autonomy, and who needs their own space in a partnership. However an independent person is also someone who has a partner by their side to give them encour-agement and complement their strengths. Effective partnerships profit from both.

For Gebrüder Weiss, independence and part-

nership are not contradictory. Autonomy has

given the company the opportunity to follow its

long-term vision. However joint partnerships,

collaborations and strategic alliances can also

make use of the synergies and strengths of a

collective group. This extra benefit is worth

taking a look at. Partnerships protect the com-

mercial strengths of the group and can improve

the profitability and competitiveness of the

cooperating companies. In this sense, the

concept of a partnership means extra freedom

to act and grow, as well as maintain a strong

presence on the market. This improves the

independence of all partners that are involved.

Over the last few decades, Gebrüder Weiss

has formed a tight partner network through-

out Europe that is as close to the market and

as flexible as possible, and, above all, offers

regional expertise. The objective for each

collaboration is to bring together the best

from all systems and divide up the activities

and areas of responsibility in a sensible

manner. That’s the only way for us to provide

an all-round and efficient service to our shared

customer base. On the following pages, four

long-standing partners, representing all GW

partners, give their thoughts on independence

and partnership, and present their experiences

of cooperating with Gebrüder Weiss.

35 years of working in partnership – a success story

Hellmann Worldwide Logistics GmbH & Co. KG Hellmann Worldwide Logis-tics is one of the leading global logistics providers. The company was estab-lished in 1871 by Carl Hein-rich Hellmann as a one-man operation and today is man-aged by the fourth genera-tion – Carl’s great-grandsons Jost and Klaus Hellmann. Hellmann owns 211 branch offices in 48 countries and employs 9,228 people world-wide. Its head office is in Osnabrück, Germany.

What makes a partnership of independent companies last over

many decades? It’s down to the many similarities between the

two companies. Gebrüder Weiss values entrepreneurial inde-

pendence in exactly the same way that Hellmann does. We are

proud to be a family-owned company in which sustainability

plays a hugely important role. The company will be passed on to

the next generation and that gives security to its employees and

customers. Swift decision-making processes and the ability to

operate the business freely make us successful in a market that

seems to be changing continuously and ever more quickly. We

have also been joint members of the System Alliance Europe

(SAE) since its foundation.

Such a long association creates confidence. The employees of

both companies know each other and take part in joint work-

shops to continually improve processes. The regular measure-

ment and evaluation of quality and development of common tar-

gets strengthens the sense of community and the unconditional

desire to give an outstanding performance. Over the years,

many friendships have emerged. What could be better than

continually working on this basis to make improvements for

the benefit of our customers.

Partners

Gebrüder Weiss and Hellmann Worldwide Logistics have been work-ing together since 1 October 1977. Initially they collaborated on trans-port operations from Hellmann’s offices in northern Germany to and from Austria.

Enough room for well-capitalised and long-established independent players

Davies Turner is one of the UK’s leading independent freight forward-ers. With headquarters in London and seventeen other branches across the UK and Ireland, the still family-owned company employs more than 750 people. Davies Turner was founded in 1870 by Alfred Davies and is now run by his great-grandsons Michael and Philip Stephenson.

We are both members of Systems Alliance Europe, a groupage

network of independent companies around Europe, sharing cer-

tain IT and ISO quality standards and communicating via an inter-

net-based track and trace system. This collective network enables

us to offer competitively priced global transport solutions, com-

bining market coverage as wide as any multinational competitor

whilst retaining the advantage of genuine local market knowledge.

The fact that we have worked with so many of our partners around

the world for many years suggests that independence within a co-

operative framework suits our business and suits our ever growing

customer base. The polarisation of the logistics industry is not

something that unduly worries us, because the more mergers and

acquisitions there are amongst international freight and logistics

companies, the more room it leaves for well-capitalised and long-

established independent players to offer services that customers

cannot get elsewhere. The essence of such companies is that

owners, staff and management are working closely together. This

makes for great motivation at all levels, and speed of decision-

making. The bigger the major multinationals become the better,

because they leave economic areas that are not suitable for them

to take on but which we can move into. Freight consolidations and

niche markets are just two examples. We believe that there are

going to be many such opportunities for us over the next few years.

Joint Managing Director

The recipe for success for companies that are built to last

Albini & Pitigliani SpA,generally known as the ALPI Group, is a leading inter-national freight forwarder based in Prato, Italy. With over 60 offices around the world and more than 400 destinations managed, the company ranks among the biggest Italian family-owned companies in the logistics industry. Albini & Pitigliani SpA has established best-practice standards in ground transportation, air and sea freight, customs services and supply chain management.

Growing our management from within may sound “old style”

today but it guarantees that our entrepreneurial spirit is shared

by all parties involved. Directors, managers and employees

alike are treated as a part of a special team and they are able to

communicate this emotional environment to our customers.

As a family company, we appreciate the importance of partner-

ships and collaboration. In reaching out for business partners

around the world, we always look for similarities in the business

model and attitude. What we have experienced in our longterm

relationship with Gebrüder Weiss is that “family touch” that

only great companies can keep for a long time; that mix of deep

competence and human understanding that can turn difficult

matters into simple solutions and tough decisions into smooth

agreements.

We are proud to be a partner of Gebrüder Weiss as we recognise

the same emotional environment, the same entrepreneurial

independence and the same long-term approach we express in

our business. That’s the recipe for success for companies that

are built to last.

Ferdinando Albini

CEO

The freight forwarder Albini & Pitigliani, founded/established in 1945, is now in its third generation of family ownership. The spirit of the found-ers is still alive and widespread among all parts of the company by its core management that is usually selected from within its own ranks: managers and directors have typically spent most of their professional life at the ALPI Group and completed many training sessions before getting their top positions.

Two traditional companies with a long history grow together

Röhlig & Co. Holding GmbH & Co. KGSince 1852, Röhlig has been tackling the challenge of the increasing complexity of global logistics. The core business of this owner-man-aged company is sea and air freight, as well as project logistics. More than 2,000 employees from over 70 nations work for Röhlig in 31 countries. The head office is in Bremen (Germany).

Why does independence play an important role in this partner-

ship? Röhlig believes that independence is a major asset. It

enables us to retain control over our future and to be free to

decide what direction to take. Neither banks nor shareholders

should be able to decide this. Gebrüder Weiss has retained its

independence even longer than Röhlig. During its history, Röhlig

has already experienced how difficult it can be to maintain the

status of an independent company when there are non-family

shareholders. The current majority shareholder, Thomas W.

Herwig, bought back this share of the company in 1994 with the

aim of being able to pass on a strong and independent company

to his sons. The very successful collaboration between the two

companies Gebrüder Weiss and Röhlig has also always been

characterised by the fact that we have both wanted to remain

independent. In my view, it is this that has made it so successful.

For me personally, independence principally means the freedom

to be able to preserve certain principles – to pursue long-term

goals as a family-led company and to promote the values of

trust and fairness. Independence allows us to give our employ-

ees a great deal of freedom in their decision-making and to

encourage them in their development.

Ulrike Baum

Chief Human Resource Officer

In 1999, owner-managed companies Gebrüder Weiss and Röhlig decided to enter into an alliance. This partnership has enabled both sides to build their network together and open joint venture sub-sidiaries in new countries. This exceptionally successful collaboration recently celebrated its ten-year anniversary.
