Since then, he has developed the location into one of the largest and most successful in the European DACHSER network. In recent years, Fritsch has also managed the development of the branch in Kassel, which will complete DACHSER's European Logistics network in Germany from 2021. For over ten years, he has represented the interests of the decentralised operational units to DACHSER's Management Board as spokesman for the branch managers.

Continuing the long-standing, value-driven growth

As Managing Director European Logistics Germany, Andreas Fritsch will continue the long-standing, value-driven growth of the European Logistics business line in the German market, while at the same time anchoring and driving forward key topics such as digitalisation, climate protection and the recruitment of skilled staff in the business unit.

In his new position, Andreas Fritsch reports to the COO Road Logistics, Alexander Tonn. DACHSER's 40 European Logistics branches in Germany moved around 30.7 million consignments weighing 15.0 million tonnes in 2021.
