The location of our office in Hanoi will allow us to work in closer proximity to our customers in this area,” added Michael Deisemann, Dachser Managing Director Air & Sea Logistics Vietnam.
   In addition, the company has relocated its regional India office to Mumbai in an effort be closer to its brand name customers and increase communication among internal departments. A total of 100 workers will be employed at the new office, including air, ocean, customs and operational staff.
