Dachser, one of the largest global logistics operators, has opened its office in Baltimore, USA. This is Dachser’s third location in the northeastern United States, following New York and Boston. By 2020, Dachser plans to launch a total of 25 Air & Sea Logistics branches in the USA.
The newly opened Dachser branch is located near the Helen Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore – one of the most important maritime container terminals in the USA, handling approximately 10 million tons of cargo annually. It is one of two East Coast ports capable of accommodating Post-Panamax class vessels. It plays a significant role in the American automotive industry and is also called the “gateway to the Midwest” – a region where Dachser has recently been recording very high growth. The convenient location of the new branch near the port of Baltimore gives Dachser a number of opportunities, including access to the largest maritime container terminal on the East Coast, twelve public terminals, and five private ones.
– Expanding our operations in the USA, we decided to open a branch in Baltimore due to the very high importance of trade in the Mid-Atlantic region – says Frank Guenzerodt, CEO of Dachser USA. – Baltimore is located closer to the Midwest than any other port on the East Coast. The office in this city will allow us to maintain the fast pace of growth that we are recording in this part of the United States. Dachser USA currently has four branches in the Midwest in Cincinnati, Chicago, Minneapolis, and St. Louis, which support our development in this region.
Dachser connects an efficient road network in Europe with air and sea transport services worldwide, offering customers comprehensive logistics service from a single operator and optimization of their global supply chains. Consistently focusing on European and Asian trade routes, Dachser USA is also expanding the operator’s activities by handling shipments to and from Latin America.
