International transportation and logistics company Gebruder Weiss announced Thursday that it is expanding in Türkiye by acquiring a majority stake in Istanbul-based customs and warehouse logistics provider Sienzi Lojistik.

“The transaction is set to close in January 2026, subject to regulatory approval,” Austria-headquartered Gebruder Weiss said in a statement.

Operating as an independent entity, the company will trade under the name Sienzi Lojistik – a Company of Gebruder Weiss. Murat Dogan will remain managing director and continue to hold a stake in the business.

'Strategic step' to deliver integrated solutions

“This investment strengthens our foothold in the Turkish market and brings our partner’s customs warehousing expertise into the Gebruder Weiss network on a long-term basis,” said Wolfram Senger-Weiss, CEO of Gebruder Weiss. “It’s a strategic step to deliver integrated, one-stop logistics solutions for customers with demanding supply chain requirements.”

Dogan, who also serves as vice president of the Turkish Customs Warehouse Association, said the move enhances Sienzi Lojistik’s competitiveness.

“Joining forces with Gebruder Weiss, one of the industry’s most traditional logistics companies, allows us to broaden our service portfolio and promote Türkiye’s role in international trade,” Dogan said.

Gebruder Weiss and Sienzi Lojistik have worked together in Türkiye for about 10 years.

With the acquisition, Gebruder Weiss said it is strengthening its Istanbul hub as a full-service logistics center and exploring new business segments, including textiles and industrial clients.
