New national company with a presence in three locations

Kempten/Bucharest, 1 October 2009. The internationally operating logistics provider, Dachser, founds a new country organisation in Romania on 1 October 2009.

The new company, Dachser Romania S.R.L., offers intelligent transport logistics services to Romanian and international customers from both industry and retail. Daily services will link the first three branches to open – in the cities of Arad, Brasov and Bucharest – and connect them to Dachser’s Europe-wide overland freight network. The country manager, and manager of the Bucharest branch, will be the seasoned logistics professional, Traian Dumitrescu, who has nine years of experience of the Romanian market.

Romania is the fifth EU country between the Baltic and the Adriatic, after Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, to join Dachser’s own intercontinental logistics network.

“The speedy introduction of our harmonized European logistics standard in Romania will in future enable us to offer our customers access to a market that is rich in potential,” says Michael Schilling, Managing Director of Dachser European Logistics.

In 2008, the internationally operating logistics provider generated total sales of EUR 3.6 billion. 18,175 staff working in 305 profit centres worldwide handled 43.3 million consignments weighing a total of 29.1 million tonnes.
