The Rhenus Group, a global logistics service provider headquartered in Germany, continues to strengthen its presence along the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route by opening a new office in Tbilisi, Georgia. With this step, Rhenus is now represented across all major markets of the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor – Türkiye, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan – achieving full operational presence along one of the most important emerging trade routes between Europe and Asia.
Strategic expansion along a growing Eurasian trade route
The expansion forms part of Rhenus Group’s long-term strategy to strengthen logistics infrastructure and operational capabilities across Central Asia and the South Caucasus. 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. With its full presence along the corridor, Rhenus now supports customers with integrated transport solutions spanning Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia.
Local Presence and Services
The office in Tbilisi serves as the operational base for Rhenus Group’s activities in Georgia and brings the company’s global logistics expertise directly into the local market. The new entity focuses on comprehensive freight forwarding and integrated transport solutions, including international road, rail, sea and air freight, multimodal and intermodal transport services, customs brokerage, cargo consolidation, route optimization and end-to-end supply chain coordination.
With strong expertise in intermodal transport, Rhenus connects rail, road and maritime services into seamless logistics chains, ensuring efficient transit times and high reliability along the Trans-Caspian Corridor. Customers benefit from tailored logistics concepts, transparent shipment monitoring and value-added services designed to enhance flexibility and resilience in Eurasian supply chains.
Andreas Stöckli, Member of the Management Board of Rhenus Group, emphasizes the strategic importance of this expansion: “With our strategy, we are committed to connecting Europe and Asia through the Trans-Caspian Transport Route in a reliable and sustainable way. Every country along this corridor contributes distinct value to the overall logistics chain – without each link, true connectivity and supply chain resilience cannot be achieved. With our physical presence and comprehensive logistics services in Georgia, we are now, as Rhenus Group, fully established along the entire Trans-Caspian Corridor, further strengthening our ability to deliver integrated and dependable transport solutions across Eurasia.”
