Rhenus Group.
Meanwhile, it is noted that the opening of the new office marks
an important milestone in the development of the company’s
logistics network along the Middle Corridor.
“This step is part of Rhenus Group’s long-term strategy aimed at
developing logistics infrastructure and expanding its operational

Once considered a peripheral route, the Trans-Caspian Corridor
is increasingly developing into a strategic artery for Eurasian
trade as companies seek reliable alternatives to traditional routes
between Europe and Asia," the information reads.
“The new office in Tbilisi will serve as Rhenus’s operational
hub in Georgia and enable the company to work directly with
customers in the local market. The company will provide a wide
range of logistics services, including international road, rail,
sea, and air transport,” the company notes.
According to the information, the service portfolio also
includes multimodal transport solutions, customs clearance, cargo
consolidation, route optimization, and comprehensive supply chain
management.
"With significant experience in organizing intermodal transport,
Rhenus integrates rail, road, and sea transport into a single
logistics system. This approach ensures reliable transportation and
optimal delivery times along the Trans-Caspian Corridor.
Customers gain access to flexible logistics solutions,
transparent cargo tracking, and additional services that help
enhance the resilience of supply chains between Europe and Asia,"
the company reports.
In addition, it is noted that Andreas Stöckli, a member of the
Rhenus Group Executive Board, highlighted the strategic importance
of this expansion:
"For the Rhenus Group, developing a sustainable logistics
infrastructure along the entire Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor is
a strategic priority. The opening of an office in Georgia marks an
important step in strengthening our presence along this route.
Today, the company is represented in all key countries of the
region, which allows us to provide customers with integrated
transport and logistics solutions and effectively connect the
markets of Europe, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia."
The Rhenus Group is one of the leading global logistics
operators. The company is present in more than 70 countries
worldwide and manages a network of 1,330 company-owned offices,
employing over 41,000 people. The group’s annual turnover is 8.2

The Middle Corridor is a transport and trade route passing
through a number of countries in the region and connecting Asia
with Europe. It serves as an alternative to the traditional
Northern and Southern Corridors
The route begins in China and passes through the countries of
Central Asia. It then crosses the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia,
and Türkiye, before reaching Europe. The Middle Corridor is a land
route that bypasses the longer sea routes, connecting the eastern
regions of Asia, including China, with Europe.
