BRACKMILLS-based logistics service provider, Dachser, has continued its growth in European road export services, having seen a 15 per cent increase in sales turnover in 2016.
Daily connections to a wide range of key hub locations across Dachser’s European network ensure a fast, reliable and competitive service for manufacturers exporting to the European market. The network comprises over 400 locations in a total of 37 countries: 24 of those countries are the responsibility of Dachser’s own country organisations and branch offices, and the remaining 13 countries are served by strategic partners.
All in all, comprehensive IT connectivity and integration within the network provide full transparency in cargo tracking and quality monitoring, giving manufacturers peace of mind and comfort that their cargo is in safe hands en route to their European customers.
“We recognise that manufacturing exporters need to rest assured that their customers’ orders are delivered on time and in-full without exception,” said Nick Lowe, Dachser’s UK Managing Director. “This is true regardless of where the goods are heading, whether in the UK, Europe or further afield. It’s our mission to ensure that companies can rely on us to fulfil these expectations on an on-going basis, building up their own confidence and creating a solid platform from which to develop further growth in their export sales.”
With Brexit now clearly on the horizon, there are more and more questions coming up regarding the shape of UK/European supply chains in the future and the degree to which UK exporters will be able to compete with their peers located in the EU itself. Nick Lowe is upbeat about the prospects.
“It’s true that there many open questions about such matters as customs clearance and application of product standards,” he said. “But for us it’s a question of keeping close to our customers and listening to their evolving needs as things become clearer, re-engineering our services to whichever extent is necessary. Our AEO accreditation is a good and reliable basis for further development of our customs clearance services for EU consignments, something which could well become very important to consider as the EU/UK negotiations progress. We can also offer a full contract logistics service, both in the UK and within Europe, should customers decide to build up local and/or European warehoused stock holdings to serve their different markets in the future.”
Looking further afield, through its global interlocking programme, Dachser is also able to offer global air and sea freight logistics solutions, helping its customers to reach new markets with ease and to further develop existing ones.
