DACHSER expands in Poland

2 July 2010 - The internationally operating logistics provider, DACHSER, is continuing to expand its global logistics network. The DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics business segment is setting up its own team in the Polish air and sea freight market.

The Polish country organization, DACHSER Sp.z.o.o., was integrated into DACHSER’s European Logistics transport network over four years ago. Now, the company will also be able to handle its customers’ intercontinental air and sea freight consignments. To this end, DACSHER’s Air & Sea Logistics business segment has opened a dedicated branch office at Warsaw Airport headed by ASL country manager Robert Pastryk.

“Polish foreign trade has shown a dynamic development over the past few years, both on the import and the export side. The prospects for growth are favourable,” Robert Pastryk says. Poland has also overcome the global financial and economic crisis relatively well. In 2009 it was the only EU member state to achieve positive growth. “Our intercontinental services allow us to offer our customers attractive logistics solutions to and from Poland, thus providing access to one of Europe’s strongest growth markets,” adds Thomas Reuter, managing director of DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics.

DACHSER’s European Logistics business segment operates at seven branch locations throughout Poland and now, with a new cross-docking-platform in Danzig, provides new connections serving the north of the country.

In 2009 DACHSER generated total revenue of EUR 3.2 billion. 17,500 staff working in 306 profit centres worldwide handled 41.8 million consignments weighing a total of 29.4 million tonnes.
