Detroit is best known as the center of the U.S. automotive industry, with the "Big Three" auto manufacturers headquartered in Metro Detroit. The new location provides DACHSER with the ability to work with another sizeable U.S. airport that services a large number of international flights. This expansion will further meet the demand of DACHSER’s customers as the company becomes even more integrated into the automotive industry.

After recently expanding the Cincinnati and Minneapolis offices, Detroit was the next logical step for our Midwest expansion.

While we are trying our best to keep the operation as smooth as possible, please note that most of the factories in China are still closed; trucking services, flights and terminals are operating at minimum service level. Delays and other operational issues are to be expected.
