GERMAN logistics giant Dachser Air & Sea Logistics is expanding its Scandinavian network with a new office in Gothenburg.
The company previously offered Swedish road customers air and sea logistics services through its offices in Denmark and Finland, and partners in Sweden.
Linking its air, sea and road transport in Sweden, which Dachser calls 'concept interlocking,' will allow the company to manage its entire supply chain to ensure the flow of goods across all continents.
'Gothenburg is an important logistics hub in Sweden and has the largest export harbour in northern Europe,' said Dachser chief operations officer Jochen Mulle. 'Therefore, a strong local presence in the second largest Swedish city is an important step in optimising our network.'
The Gothenburg office is the company's latest venture. Dachser also opened an office in Atlanta, having already opened in Detroit and Mexico as well as in Kolding, Denmark, adding to existing Copenhagen and Helsinki operations.
Its 2018 results show that the company managed to increase its consolidated net revenue by 5.5 per cent to US$5.6 billion, reports New York's Air Cargo World.
Though Mr Muller acknowledged Dachser's global presence, he said that the company isn't currently focused on further expansion.
'Our main interest now is further increasing efficiency and standardisation of our operations in terms of processes and IT,' he said. 'At the same time, we are working on linking our air and sea network even closer to our road network - as we just did in Gothenburg.'
