DACHSER recently sent a clear signal of growth and stability in Germany and Europe. Its largest operating branch worldwide in Memmingen is being expanded once again. The logistics provider is investing around 30 million euros in a state-of-the-art transit terminal for industrial and consumer goods equipped with our award-winning @ILO digital twin technology and loading infrastructure for electric trucks.
This investment does not stand alone. It is part of a long-term, counter-cyclical strategy. We continuously invest in expanding and modernizing our European groupage network as quality, reliability, and long-term planning are the best responses to economic uncertainties. In the coming months alone, we will inaugurate new branches in Freiburg and Unna in Germany. In Steisslingen, not far from Lake Constance, we are currently building a new warehouse, while construction on a new Food Logistics branch is also set to begin in Bremen, Northern Germany, later this year.

Logistics as a growth factor
While it´s true that many companies in Germany and Europe, particularly in key industries, are undergoing deep transformation processes, there are many other companies that write success stories and leverage logistics as a major factor in their growth. Europe as a business location has immense potential—but it requires decisive action to unlock it.
We, for sure, are doing our part. And we are ready to grow together with our customers.
