DSV’s first half operating profit up 17%

DSV’s first half operating profit up 17% Danish freight forwarder and logistics group DSV A/S Friday reported a 17.3 percent rise in its half-year operating profit to 847 million Danish Krone ($155 million), from DKr723 million in the same six-month period last year.
   The Brondby-based company’s revenue improved 13.5 percent in the first six months of the year to DKr17 billion ($3.1 billion), due mainly attributable to the acquisition of Dutch forwarding, trucking and logistics service group Frans Maas at the start of 2006.
