DACHSER country profile USA
The story of DACHSER perfectly illustrates how a dynamic company can develop and adapt in line with technological progress and the influence of globalization on the logistics industry. DACHSER recognized the emerging opportunities early on and seized them with both hands, transforming itself from a local freight forwarder into a leading logistics company.
Today we stand for cutting edge, efficient, and technology-driven logistic solutions. These solutions rely on the close integration of our global transport and warehouse networks, long-term partnerships, and consistent digital networking worldwide. By taking a multi-channel approach with all distribution channels successfully linked, we are able to offer our customers a secure and reliable system for their most demanding logistics requirements.
From the beginning, the DACHSER strategy has been geared towards the sustainable growth of its networks. New regions and markets have always been developed through the establishment of branches and country organizations, or the acquisition of companies that can be seamlessly integrated into the existing network. Our highest priority is to consistently uphold the corporate strategy and values.
