Gebrüder Weiss announced it has relocated its U.S. headquarters to Wood Dale, Illinois.

The new facility accommodates the global logistics organization's North American growth with16,000 square feet of office space and a 45,000-square-foot warehouse. The expansion of Gebrüder Weiss U.S.'s head office accompanies the organization's fifth year in the Chicago area.

"As demand for custom international supply chain solutions continues to surge, and businesses' efforts to nearshore increase, we're dedicated to scaling our North American operations to efficiently meet our customers' needs," said Mark McCullough, CEO of Gebrüder Weiss USA.

Despite ongoing inflation and potential economic challenges, Gebrüder Weiss said it expects gains in retail, e-commerce, automotive, pharmaceutical, and high-tech industries.

"Events of the past few years, including the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, have put exceptional pressure on our customers' supply chains," McCullough said. "Our work is not merely shipping and freight forwarding; it's developing 360o solutions across the supply chain, from warehousing to procurement to distribution to international security."
