Gebrüder Weiss announces the appointment of Benjamin Schatzl as the new Product Manager Seafreight in Shanghai. According to the Austrian transport and logistics company the long-term logistics expert will be responsible for the service portfolio in the Asia-Pacific region.

With this appointment, Gebrüder Weiss is intensifying its proximity to the Asian market.
