Dachser implements full integration of its affilate in South Korea
Dachser Korea Ltd. aims for targeted expansion of its international forwarding business and expanding sea freight activities at the Busan location
When it says “Dachser“, it is 100 per cent Dachser now also in South Korea. The subsidiary is now doing business in the East Asian state as Dachser Korea Inc., effective July 1st. The global logistics provider has maintained a presence in the Republic of Korea (South Korea) since 2006. This past December, the group acquired the remaining 50 per cent of the MGI & Dachser Inc joint venture. Together with the renaming of the company, the company also moved into new offices – the headquarters – in Seoul.
Another office is located in Busan, where Dachser conducts its sea freight business. The enterprise also operates a warehouse for air freight handling at the airport in Incheon, South Korea’s most important hub. A specialized team is also at the ready there to take on the physical handling of air freight. In addition, the logistics provider offers professional loading services specifically for air freight pallets (consolidation) at their own warehouse facility on the airport grounds.
“Its high-powered economy and its tremendous technological capabilities make this nation of 50 million inhabitants one of Germany’s most important economic partners in East Asia,” says Thomas Reuter, COO Dachser Air & Sea Logistics.
“We plan to pursue the targeted expansion of our activities in the Korean market and to exploit the close logistical connection to Greater China, the USA, and Europe for our customers,” explains Roman Müller, Managing Director Dachser Korea. In the future, particular focus will also be placed on expanding sea freight activities at the Busan location.
