Dachser UK has introduced a new direct connection to Poland. The new line is a response to the increase in export orders to the Polish market from the UK, the seventh-largest manufacturer in the world.
Dachser logistics services for British exporters are based on the use of three warehouses in the UK and over 150 branches throughout Europe. The novelty is a direct line to Stryków in Poland, from where shipments are delivered across the entire country. It complements the existing Dachser connections and optimizes transit time to the Polish market. Exporters from the UK shipping to Poland can count on a high level of quality, reliability, and the use of the latest IT systems.
– Despite a slight strengthening of the pound against the euro a few months ago, British exporters remain very competitive in the European market – comments Nick Lowe, Managing Director of Dachser in the UK. – Of course, the decline in demand across almost all of Europe makes trade difficult, but our exporters still have a chance for market share. Dachser always strives to support trade by providing fast and reliable deliveries.
– Dachser, as always, reacted quickly to the needs of its customers, supplementing its European network with a new line – says Grzegorz Lichocik, President of Dachser in Poland. – According to data from the Central Statistical Office (GUS), in the first half of 2012, Polish exports recorded a 10 percent increase compared to the first half of 2011, which is a great result against the backdrop of all of Europe. We hope that, among other things, thanks to Dachser’s services for Polish exporters, our foreign trade will continue to be in such good condition.
In 2011, Dachser, an international logistics operator, generated a turnover of 4.3 billion Euros, employing 21,000 people in 315 branches worldwide. The company delivered 49.3 million shipments with a total weight of 37.1 million tons.
