History

From a messenger service across the Alps to the global transport and logistics company.

Gebrüder Weiss is Austria's oldest forwarding company and still family-owned (Weiss and Jerie families). For more than 500 years, the company has constantly developed and by now it ranks among global players in the transport and logistics market.

Its history reflects the political and economic development of the region, of Austria and Europe. It all started in Fussach in the Lake Constance region. This small village was once an important port of transit for the North-South trade of the commercial towns in the South of Germany with Lombardy and beyond.
