DACHSER expands its contract logistics capacities for Maas-Rhein logistics center

DACHSER wins contract to provide contract logistics for Emerson’s Climate Technologies division in Europe and invests in Alsdorf

The US conglomerate Emerson is expanding its collaboration with DACHSER. In view of the new European contract logistics mandate for Emerson’s Climate Technologies division, DACHSER expanded its capacities in Alsdorf by adding a 7,000-square-meter warehouse.

Over the past 30 years, Emerson’s Climate Technologies division has steadily grown its European business, which includes products from the heating, climate control, ventilation, and refrigeration technology sector. DACHSER has been providing transport services since 2003, but in the past Emerson relied on an in-house logistics solution for warehousing and packaging. What ultimately tipped the scales in favor of outsourcing the entire logistics process to DACHSER was the many years of successful collaboration between the companies. 

Having a comprehensive logistics process chain from a single source has long since become a factor in the success of manufacturing companies like Emerson. This is why DACHSER has been expanding its contract logistics services for some years now.

As part of the contract logistics agreement, DACHSER will handle not only storage and picking, but also the end-customer-specific packaging of the products as a value-added service. Until now, Emerson has supplied its customers directly from the factory—from Belgium, the Czech Republic, and Ireland. The new warehouse in Alsdorf is now to be established as a central warehouse and distribution center for Europe with a view to bundling shipments more effectively.

The warehouse in Alsdorf offers space for up to 10,000 pallets and around 5,500 shelf spaces over an area of around 7,000 square meters. It also features the necessary office space and social areas. Located only three kilometers from DACHSER’s Maas-Rhein logistics center, the distribution center for Emerson’s Climate Technologies division is also ideally connected to the DACHSER transport network. Alsdorf is an important regional hub in the German-Dutch-Belgian border region. From here, DACHSER operates direct routes to some 50 destinations in eleven countries. With its current workforce of more than 300, the location handles almost 85,000 shipments per month. European shipments dovetail with the services of DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics, which also maintains a presence at the Alsdorf branch.

DACHSER invests in expanding contract logistics

“Having a comprehensive logistics process chain from a single source has long since become a factor in the success of manufacturing companies like Emerson. This is why DACHSER has been expanding its contract logistics services for some years now,” says Alexander Tonn, Managing Director European Logistics Germany, who is responsible for DACHSER’s transport and storage business for industrial goods in Germany. “DACHSER’s European network offers a combination of warehousing expertise and short transportation times that is convincing more and more companies to enter into tailored contract logistics partnerships covering functions such as transportation, terminal handling, storage, and additional services. Our contract logistics concepts aim to increase the responsiveness and flexibility of our customers in terms of warehousing and transport. We’re sure that we will succeed in doing the same for Emerson,” Tonn says.

Lockdown in Santos, Brazil

With this update DACHSER would like to inform you about the lockdown instituted since yesterday, March 23, 2021, of the entire city of Santos, Brazil and the adjacent region.

Concerning sea freight, we have noticed the operations in the Port of Santos slowing down in the loading and unloading of cargo. The Santos maritime terminals, even before the lockdown, had some processes stopped and a wait time of more than 24 hours for cargo handling operations.

The lockdown brings restrictions of circulation for vehicles and people and therefore hampers the transport of port employees from their homes to their workplace. Another issue is that several companies have reduced the staff in their local facilities. Unfortunately, the local situation appears to become worse as days go by.

The reality is that there is a long delay in services provided by the maritime terminals, which impacts collection and delivery and all other connected maritime operations.

We hope that the situation will be resolved soon and we thank everyone for their patience and understanding.

For any questions, please contact your local DACHSER representative.
