Ahead with foresight

Logistics - that also means accepting and mastering challenges again and again. Especially when things get difficult. That is why we at DACHSER are approaching 2024 with great confidence and drive, even though we are still confronted with weak, volatile markets and rising costs. Thoughts by CEO Burkhard Eling.

Burkhard Eling, CEO DACHSER

The cautious forecasts of economic researchers - the IMF is currently only predicting slow growth of 3.1 percent in the global economy - suggest that global trade will not really get going this year either.

This year, we will focus our efforts on both our operating business and our strategic focus programs: These include expanding and connecting our networks worldwide and further improving them and making them even more efficient through digitalization, climate protection and personnel development. Just some of the highlights in the coming weeks: Our new joint ventures DACHSER & Fercam Italia and DACHSER Japan are launching, we are finalizing the acquisition of Frigoscandia and starting the integration - as this is already successfully the case with Müller Fresh Food Logistics. We are also introducing our award-winning digital twin @ILO at several European branches. And the DACHSER platform will also be fully available to our customers over the course of the year. This will bring together the services of the Road Logistics and Air & Sea Logistics business fields in a user-friendly, modern interface.

Moving forward with a clear mission

These are very good prospects! In addition, we will continue to work on the development of globally integrated transport and contract logistics solutions - Global Groupage - in 2024. By seamlessly and efficiently connecting intercontinental LCL (Less than container load) and airfreight transports with our high-performance European groupage network, we want to offer our customers global door-to-door solutions with a high level of transparency. We are convinced that with Global Groupage we will fulfill our mission in the long term: To create the world's most intelligent combination and integration of logistics network competencies. This goal drives us and gives us motivation - far beyond short-term economic forecasts.

DACHSER's transport network is prepared for dynamic changes

DACHSER says thank you - over the past few weeks, our customers have informed us in good time about their current transport requirements and included us in their planning. This has enabled us to quickly adjust our capacities to the actual demand. Due to the sharp decline in transport volumes in recent weeks, we have temporarily reduced transport capacities and installed special schedules. 

The many measures taken to reduce new infections with the coronavirus have had a positive effect in many European countries in recent days. Initial easing measures, for example a partial reopening of retail outlets, are making everyday life easier for people. Since many industrial companies are also resuming production - albeit mostly at lower output levels - we expect transport volumes to remain volatile, but to increase again in principle.

With the active support of our customers, we are very well prepared for the coming period and will also be able to handle rising transport volumes again with the well-known DACHSER quality. It will continue to be very valuable for us in the future, too, that our customers continue to provide us with all the planning information that will enable us to adjust transport capacities and planning in line with demand. 

We would like to thank you for your active cooperation during this very challenging period and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration, in which you can continue to rely on DACHSER.
