DACHSER establishes national company in Brazil
DACHSER and Logimasters are reorganizing the business segments in Brazil. Their joint venture ended with effect from 31 March 2009. Both companies are continuing to cooperate as partners.
DACHSER has taken over all international business from the joint venture, which has been consolidated in the newly founded “DACHSER Brasil Logística Ltda.” headquartered in Indaiatuba. From there, the internationally operating logistics provider manages air and sea freight business, including existing partner connections. Furthermore, DACHSER Brasil is to acquire 100 percent of the shares in Logiprojects and will thus also coordinate international special and project business from and to Brazil.
With the new company, DACHSER is directly connecting the Brazilian market to its international air and sea freight network. DACHSER Brasil will in future forge ahead with the further development of national forwarding and logistics operations.
Dachser Brasil is managed by Richard Frank Schües, a locally and internationally versed logistics manager. Schües was latterly employed with Volkswagen Transport of South America and the shipping line CSAV.
“With this step, we are reinforcing our global air and sea freight network and consolidating our position in the Brazilian growth market. This also paves the way for the important pending integration of our logistics systems,“ says Thomas Reuter, managing director Air & Sea Logistics at Dachser.
