DACHSER consolidates sea freight activities
DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics said it has opened a new Swiss branch this month in Reinach near Basle to consolidate all its sea freight activities for Switzerland.
The new branch in Basle will also integrate the DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics sales office in Birsfelden.
In charge of the new branch is Andreas Ott who will also continue to head up the Zurich-based sales team responsible for all of Switzerland.
DACHSER said Basle has Switzerland’s biggest container terminals, and has excellent links to road, internal waterway and rail networks. Basle is also home to most shipping company agencies and therefore an important hub for local import and export activities.
Air freight activities continue to be handled in Zurich.
In 2007 DACHSER generated total sales of $5.1 billion. It has 17,100 staff.
