New focus on the Turkish market with Dachser Cargoplus

Dachser’s Cargo Plus product line to be successively anchored all over Europe to complement the nationwide cargo network

Dachser Cargoplus consolidates its commitment in the Turkish growth market for transport. Dachser’s central branch office in Germany for pan-European full truck load freight services as well as transports to the CIS and the Maghreb has built up a dedicated team of specialists, who are developing the German market from Memmingen. From now on, Dachser consolidates its shipments to Turkey via Cargoplus Memmingen. “This enables us to provide more direct departures to customs offices outside of Istanbul, increase departure frequencies and reduce transit times,” explains Wolfgang Haase, Cargoplus division manager at Dachser. Only the Mannheim and Munich/Unterschleissheim branch offices will continue to conduct their traditionally strong business with Turkey on their own.

 “We believe services to Turkey offer enormous growth potential for Cargoplus,” Haase explains. “Customs stipulations and requirements, a greater need to coordinate and harmonise transport operations, together with local specificities demand a high degree of specialisation, communication and individual planning. These are precisely the strengths of Cargoplus.”

Cargoplus performs transport services that Dachser’s European groupage network is unable to provide, thus opening up new markets for the company. These include pan-European full load services for major customers within Europe as well as groupage and full/part load freight services to the CIS, the Maghreb and now also to Turkey. To make this possible, Dachser has since 2006 built up a European team of specialists who combine expertise in forwarding and charter business with specific local knowledge.

In Europe, Cargoplus is already represented with dedicated branch offices in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Sweden and the Czech Republic. As of 1 January 2012, Cargoplus services are also available to customers in Belgium. In the course of the year Poland will be added. “In addition to our full-coverage groupage network, our aim is to successively establish Cargoplus across Europe,” says Michael Schilling, managing director of Dachser’s European Network Management & Logistics Systems, giving an outlook to the next goals.
