Dachser grows through acquisitions
The transport company grew sales by 13% lifting revenue above the 8 billion mark to 8.027 billion euros.
THE COMPANY also recorded significant year-over-year increases in other key figures such as headcount (+3,300), locations (+56), and pallet spaces in its warehouses (+720,000).
Growth is largely due to the acquisitions of DACHSER & FERCAM Italia, Frigoscandia, and Brummer. In purely organic terms, Dachser grew by 4.7% compared to the previous year. This was driven by resilience in its European groupage network and rate increases in air and sea freight. Transported volumes rose by 7.6% to approximately 83.2 million shipments, while tonnage increased by 10.2% to some 44.1 million.
Dachser CEO Burkhard Eling, says: “High costs, weak industrial production, and a decline in personal consumption have had an impact on our business. Moreover, the many crises we face around the world today have been a constant stress test for our customers, and hence also for us.”
