Acquisitions of the Spanish logistics providers Azkar and Transunion set initial growth impulses for 2013 with Dachser
 
Dachser closed the 2012 financial year with new record highs in terms of overall revenue and staff numbers. The international logistics provider moved 49.8 million consignments weighing 37.5 million tonnes, increasing group revenue in 2012 to EUR 4.41 billion, which is 3.7 per cent higher than 2011. At the end of 2012 Dachser employed 21,650 staff members at 347 locations worldwide.
 
Bernhard Simon, head of the Dachser management board “In 2012 we increased our capital investment by around 10 per cent compared with 2011.” With capital investment totalling EUR 148 million, Dachser continued to strengthen its logistics network last year and thus laid the foundation for further growth. Dachser has set initial growth impulses for 2013 with the acquisitions of the Spanish logistics providers Azkar and Transunion. Including revenues from these acquisitions and expected organic growth, the group aims to surpass the 5-billion-euro revenue threshold for the first time in the current fiscal year.
 
The business field European Logistics contributed to the group’s revenue in 2012 with EUR 2.661 billion, closing the fiscal year with a slight growth of 1.4 per cent. Dachser Food Logistics raised its revenues by 13.2 per cent to EUR 573 million. The Dachser Air & Sea Logistics business field generated EUR 1.305 billion, realizing a growth in revenues of 7.4 per cent. With Malaysia and Vietnam, the Air & Sea Logistics business field added two new Asian country organizations to the Dachser network.
