The new solution with two logistics terminals in Bucharest makes distribution within and around the Capital more efficient. We are building the new cross-docking terminal to standards Gebruder Weiss to enable further business growth in the local distribution area and to expand the customer portfolio. Also, for the further development of home delivery services, we offer a suitable cross-docking area,” he said at for his part, Thomas Moser, Director and Regional Manager Black Sea/CIS Gebruder Weiss.
