Logistics operator Dachser has opened a new office in Minneapolis. This is the fourth Dachser USA Air & Sea Logistics branch in the Midwestern United States, following Chicago, St. Louis, and Cincinnati. By 2020, Dachser plans to open 25 branches in 11 locations across the USA.
The Minneapolis airport is one of the 20 largest in the USA. It handles a vast number of international flights.
– Due to the continuous development of the market in the Midwestern United States, Minneapolis was the next logical step for Dachser’s expansion in the USA. Customers benefit from the proximity of the Minneapolis branch’s connection to our Chicago warehouse – comments Frank Guenzerodt, President and CEO of Dachser USA. – We are a service provider, and being close to the customer is key for us. Therefore, on one hand, we will continue to expand our network of branches in the USA, and on the other, we will offer innovative solutions that leverage all the advantages of the global Dachser network.
