DANZAS ACQUIRES IRISH FORWARDER MEADOWSFREIGHT

    Danzas, the forwarding and logistics group owned by Deutsche Post, is continuing its acquisition binge by taking over the Irish logistics firm Meadowsfreight from Denmark’s DFDS.
    The terms of the purchase were not disclosed.
    Headquartered in Dublin, Meadowsfreight employs about 240 people and has annual revenues of about 50 million Euro ($48 million).              Meadowsfreight provides air freight, ocean freight, land transport and warehousing services and has hubs in Dublin, Cork, Shannon and Rosslare.
    Meadowsfreight has been working with Danzas for the last 25 years.
    Following the acquisition of Nedlloyd’s transport and distribution business and the purchase of the majority of ASG, the expansion to Ireland enables Danzas to offer its customers the broadest and densest network in Europe, a spokesman for Danzas said.
