Dachser established its first branch office in the South East in 2005 and has now extended this capability by acquiring a fit for purpose 2,700m2 new cross-dock terminal with 25 docking stations and five-level access doors. The combination of the two sites on Crossways Business Park now enables opportunities for production and service improvements for both cross-dock activities and contract logistics.
On top of Dachser’s main import and export activities, there are many additional benefits for customers in the region including contract logistics and value-added warehousing, customs clearance and customs warehousing as well as optimising UK domestic distribution and providing a UK Gateway for North Africa, Turkey, and CIS traffic.
“This investment represents a unique development for our southern UK organisation, the Dachser European network, and all our customers," commented Mark Rollinson, Managing Director of Dachser UK. "After 15 years of successful growth, we are now even better equipped to adapt and react to any future market challenges and maintain the service levels that our customers have come to expect."
"By offering our customers a full range of integrated services through this new 'Dartford Logistics Centre' we continue to fulfill our mission to create the most intelligent combination of integrated logistical services." Patrice Ollivier, General Manager – South of Dachser UK, concluded.
