In addition to ongoing global office and warehouse openings, the international transport and logistics provider is also strengthening its position in Austria. The new location in western Austria has enormous potential thanks to its location. The region is strategically of particular importance to the logistics provider as it shows economic growth above the Austrian average and offers favourable air, sea and road transport connections.
Vorarlberg, like Upper Austria, is one of the strongest production locations in the country, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein have also had a stable economy for years. With Zurich, Munich and Frankfurt, there are three major airports nearby, and as for sea freight, the site benefits from its own container terminal in Wolfurt, which makes it easier to procure empty equipment.
Martin Schenzel, Managing Director of cargo-partner in Austria, explains his motivation behind the expanded network: “We see great potential here, mainly because of the geographical location in the tri-border region of Austria-Germany-Switzerland. Our growth in Vorarlberg has been remarkable in recent years and the forecasts are promising. The next logical step was the opening of our own operational office.”
cargo-partner is a privately owned full-range info-logistics provider offering a comprehensive portfolio of air, sea, land transport and warehousing solutions. Founded in 1983, the group generated a turnover of EUR 753 million in 2018 and currently employs 3,000 people worldwide.
