Strength and efficiency

DACHSER UK is a logistics service provider which aims to combine all logistics functions of the supply chain in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

In addition to European road distribution and international air and sea freight logistics, Dachser provides its customers with contract logistics capabilities which include warehouse storage and a range of value-added services. This is combined with quality assurance, targeted IT support and the latest technology to provide a high quality service to customers.

Dachser’s customers also benefit significantly from being part of one of the strongest and most efficient transport networks in Europe. A homogenous network of Dachser branch locations, numerous subsidiaries and reliable local partners ensure a comprehensive service with efficient and flexible connections throughout Europe, North Africa and parts of the Middle East.

In March 2014, Dachser invested approximately ?26 million in their state-of-the-art Northampton Logistics Centre on Brackmills Industrial Estate. This facility provides 10,560 square metres of contract logistics warehouse space with capacity to store in excess of 20,000 pallets. The site also comprises a transhipment hall of 5,94 square metres and is home to the UK regional office. The branch in Northampton currently employs 250 staff, servicing contracts within a range of industry sectors including wine and spirits, food, packaging, industrial machinery and DIY.

Over recent years, the UK contract logistics division has achieved significant levels of growth. In support of both the company’s development and the growth of existing customers, Dachser made a substantial investment in opening a second dedicated multi-user contract logistics facility in January 2019. This new facility is strategically located adjacent to the existing Northampton Logistics Centre and provides customers with a further 15,272 square metres of warehousing capacity and 21,000 pallet spaces. Whilst developing and strengthening Dachser’s contract logistics presence in the UK market, the new facility enhances Dachser’s service offering and logistics supply chain capabilities.

The strategy and key focus of Dachser’s ongoing success is to continue to offer customers with an efficient, high quality and cost effective contract logistics platform through an integrated ‘one network’ approach.

Ian Brunt, UK Contract Logistics Manager at Dachser said: “Our customers really do appreciate our integrated approach which is ideally aligned to achieve the strategic requirements of their supply chain.”

Dachser aims to further develop its contract logistics presence in the UK, ensuring a customer oriented focus and high quality service.
