Dachser, one of the world’s largest logistics operators, has launched a new direct connection from Gądki near Poznań to Himberg near Vienna. The daily line handles shipments for the operator’s customers between Poland and Austria in both directions.
– The new direct connection allows us to standardize and speed up delivery times between north-western Poland and Austria, as transport no longer takes place via transshipment centers in Germany or Slovakia. By reducing the number of transshipments, we also limit the possibility of potential damage to the transported products. Currently, shipments are sent daily and delivered to their destination in just two days. We provide deliveries in both directions, so companies from Poland and Austria exporting and importing goods between our countries will benefit from the new line – says Grzegorz Lichocik, President of Dachser in Poland.
Any Dachser customer, both from the Polish and Austrian side, can use the newly launched connection with Austria. Shipments are transported by two swap-body transport containers. On the return trip from Austria, the transport has an additional stop in Sosnowiec.
– Both the Polish and Austrian sides aimed to create a permanent Gądki-Himberg line. It is a connection that will certainly develop systematically, as many companies are interested in importing and shipping goods on this route – adds Grzegorz Lichocik.
