Dachser has launched a new daily connection from Stryków to Munich. Thanks to this, goods shipped from Poland will be delivered directly to the south-eastern part of Germany. The new line will improve and streamline logistics processes within the operator’s European network.
As part of the new connection, shipments will be transported daily from Stryków to Munich and from Munich to Stryków. The line will serve as an alternative connection to Lozorno near Bratislava for Western Austria, Slovenia, and Italy.
– The new line to Munich is our fifteenth daily, direct connection to Germany, which perfectly illustrates the state of trade between Poland and its western neighbors – says Grzegorz Lichocik, President of the Management Board of Dachser in Poland. – We observe the increased export capabilities of Polish producers in the volume of transported shipments, which is growing year by year. We are pleased that our exporters, when looking for a logistics partner for Europe, decide to cooperate with Dachser. It is partly for them that we constantly strive to improve the quality of our services, which is why we are developing a network of connections that shorten delivery times to a minimum.
Dachser currently possesses one of the most extensive and efficient transport networks in Europe. In Poland, the company has 8 branches (2 in Warsaw and one each in Stryków, Szczecin, Wrocław, Gądki near Poznań, Sosnowiec near Katowice, and Gdańsk). The terminal in Stryków is the main transshipment point between Western and Eastern Europe. Dachser in Poland operates daily groupage lines for export and import to and from most European countries. In addition to Munich, the operator delivers shipments directly to German branches in Hamburg, Hanover, Bielefeld, Frankfurt, Kurnach, Malsch, Ueberherrn, Radeburg, Berlin, Cologne, Langenau, Hof, Landsberg, and Kornwestheim. Work is also currently underway on a new connection with Dortmund, which is scheduled to launch in the first half of 2015.
Since the beginning of the economic transformation in Poland, Germany has remained its main trading partner. Currently, they are the recipient of 1/4 of Polish goods sold abroad, and the value of this export in 2013 amounted to 38.2 billion euros. Meanwhile, Germany’s share in imports to Poland amounted to 21.5 percent, which accounted for approximately 33.3 billion euros. In 2013, trade between Poland and Germany was dominated by electromechanical products, machinery, mechanical and electrical equipment and their parts, motor vehicles and their parts and accessories, as well as apparatus and tools.
