¡Hola España! – DACHSER reinforces its presence in Spain

DACHSER has acquired a ten percent share in the Spanish logistics provider Azkar. With this, the two companies are stabilizing the excellent partnership entered into two years ago.

DACHSER and Azkar launched their cooperation on 15 December 2006. The partnership between the two family-owned enterprises has developed to such a positive degree over the past two years that the managements of both companies have decided to set their business relations on a more stable footing. For this reason, Dachser has acquired a ten percent stake in the Spanish market leader. Azkar has established a good reputation beyond the Spanish borders as a specialist in particular for full-coverage Spanish and international groupage services and contract logistics.
