Dachser acquires Spanish forwarder Transunion
Dachser is expanding its Air & Sea Logistics business field with 15 Transunion locations in five countries
Dachser is continuing to expand its global logistics network. Effective retroactively from the start of this year, the internationally operating logistics provider has acquired the Spanish air and sea freight forwarder Transunion S. A. The transaction is subject to approval by the antitrust authorities. The company with its head office in Valencia employs a staff of 235. In addition to nine offices on the Iberian Peninsula the forwarding enterprise is also represented in Turkey, Argentina, Peru and Mexico. Founded in 1978, Transunion is expected to post revenue of EUR 95 million in fiscal 2012.
Dachser now considers itself well-positioned in the Spanish market following the buyout of Azkar for the overland freight segment announced last month. “The acquisition of the complementary Transunion network allows us to offer our customers even better access to the Latin American market as well as an excellent presence in mainland Spain and Turkey,” Dachser managing director Thomas Reuter, responsible for the Air & Sea Logistics business field explains the acquisition. CEO Federico Camáñez will continue to be responsible for the management of the entire group and will report directly to Thomas Reuter.
