Rebranding in northern Europe
Some two and a half years after taking over the Haugsted group, DACHSER has now introduced uniform company names in northern Europe.
Since 15 June 2007, DACHSER has been trading under new names in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Prior to that, the company traded under the names of “DACHSER Haugsted A/S” in Denmark, “Continor AS” in Norway, and “Transportkonsulten AB” in Sweden.
Now, though, the national companies will be known as DACHSER Denmark A/S, DACHSER Sweden AB and DACHSER Norway AS respectively.
The rapid renaming of the companies and the adoption of the uniform brandname underline the intercultural integrative power of DACHSER as a truly transnational company, and also highlight the confidence the Scandinavian staff have in the parent company.
