Dachser has been leading the “Immediate Shipments” category for seven consecutive months and credits this recognition to the optimizations made in recent years, such as the reduction in delivery time even during the current pandemic, meeting the demands of Tetra Pak's factories and end customers.

Being at the top of the ranking during these months is an honor, especially with the challenges imposed worldwide due to the coronavirus pandemic. This result is due not only to our fast services, but also to the assertiveness of the work done.

João Paulo Caldana, Managing Director, Dachser Brazil

"Our team is 100% committed to our clients and their shipments and, in addition to speed, also technical knowledge is a key factor for excellence."

Dachser is a Tetra Pak partner for import operations at Viracopos, Guarulhos and Afonso Pena airports, in addition to the ports of Santos and Paranaguá. Also, the company is responsible for Tetra Pak’s entire logistics chain, coordinating its logistics processes from shipments abroad to delivery at the Monte Mor and Ponta Grossa distribution centers.

During this partnership, Tetra Pak saw progress in the efficiency of its operations, achieving greater agility even in times of new challenges. “As solution providers for the food and beverage industry, our operations and those of our suppliers could not be impacted by the pandemic. In a challenging context, Dachser proved to be a highly strategic partner”, concludes Fernanda Gomes, Foreign Trade manager at Tetra Pak.

The “new normal” brought challenges to the entire logistics chain.

To continue with the delivery of its services and not cause interruptions in its customers' supply chain, Dachser adapted without giving up any precautions related to the pandemic. “Monitoring processes, identifying bottlenecks, and thinking about how to keep our employees 100% safe has been one of our main concerns. Together with Tetra Pak, we focus on optimizing operational processes and increasing the efficiency of the services provided. The recognition of our work is the result of a great partnership and the efforts of the entire Dachser team in Brazil”, says Caldana.

New regulatory requirements for lithium batteries and cells as of January 1, 2020

Before lithium batteries and cells can be transported, they must pass certain tests. These tests simulate various conditions with regard to, for example, pressure, temperature, crushing and impact that may arise during shipping.

On January 1, 2020, more stringent requirements concerning lithium batteries and cells will come into effect for all modes of transport worldwide. In future, a test summary compliant with UN 38.3.5 must be submitted for all lithium batteries and cells manufactured after June 30, 2003 (i.e. UN3480, UN3481, UN3091, UN3090), as well as for all battery-powered vehicles manufactured after June 30, 2003 (i.e. UN 3171). Doing so will be the joint responsibility of the manufacturers and the distributors of these goods.

According to the airlines, carriers and shipping companies, these documents can be requested from DACHSER. We therefore kindly ask our customers to make these documents available to us for all the lithium batteries and cells mentioned, so that we can, in turn, make them available throughout the entire supply chain.

We hereby inform our customers that, as of January 1, 2020, it will no longer be possible to load the affected goods without these documents. For further information, please click here.

Please contact your local DACHSER representative if you have any questions.

Statement by Dachser CEO Burkhard Eling on the military conflict in Ukraine

Peace and the free movement of goods are fundamental prerequisites for the positive, free development of all societies. In this spirit, Dachser has grown as an international logistics provider over the past decades. We therefore deeply regret the escalation of the military conflict in Ukraine. Among other things, the conflict will also have a substantial impact on supply chains in Eastern Europe. 

Our first priority is the safety of all drivers transporting consignments on behalf of Dachser. We have therefore today imposed an immediate takeover and loading stop for all shipments to Ukraine. This applies to all European transports of our Cargoplus service segment, which specializes in FTL and LTL transports to the CIS countries, among others, as well as to all transports from the European Logistics network that are handled in Ukraine by our partner ACE. Regular traffic from our platform Strykow (Poland) to Kiev will be discontinued. All trucks that are currently still on their way to Ukraine have to be returned in coordination with the customers. We are in close contact with our Ukrainian partner, who has also closed his warehouses.

In air freight, the airspace over Ukraine has been closed in a wide radius. Take-offs and landings are not possible here, so that congestion at the alternative airports is to be feared. 

Our European Logistics and Air & Sea Logistics teams are closely monitoring developments in the situation and are in close contact with our customers. This also applies in particular to restrictions on the movement of goods that may arise in the coming days as a result of the sanctions announced against Russia. 

  • Background - Dachser's activities in Ukraine and Russia. 

Dachser does not have its own locations in Ukraine, but works there with its partner ACE Logistics. The Estonian company is also Dachser's partner for the Baltic states and joint venture partner in Finland. The Cargoplus service segment handles additional full truckload services.

In Russia, Dachser has been represented by its own national company since 2008 and provides services in the Road Logistics and Air & Sea Logistics business segments. Around 160 staff are employed at seven locations. In 2020, Dachser Russia handled around 17,000 consignments and generated revenue of EUR 21.6 million.
