15 years of DACHSER in Poland

DACHSER, one of the largest logistics service providers in the world, celebrates this year the 15th anniversary of its operations in Poland. During this time, the company has gained a strong position in the Polish market in road export and in the transport of air and sea shipments. Since 2006, DACHSER Poland has transported nearly 13.5 million shipments with a total weight of over 5 million tonnes. Currently, the company employs 627 employees in nine branches located throughout Poland.

Window to Europe, window to the world

DACHSER Poland is successively expanding its network of connections, which currently includes deliveries to 52 countries, 16 of which are direct connections. In terms of volume of shipments, most deliveries from Poland are made to Germany, France, Denmark, the Czech Republic, and Austria. As part of the “entargo” product line, the operator offers time- and cost-efficient transport services throughout Europe. DACHSER Poland has its own customs agency for import and export clearance of goods, which significantly streamlines logistics processes. Since 2010, the company has also been developing the DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics division. During this time, it launched permanent groupage connections from China to Poland and built a team of high-class specialists in air and sea logistics integrated with the road transport network.

Continuous growth and development

Since the beginning of its operations in Poland, DACHSER has seen increases in revenue and the number of shipments. In the pandemic and challenging year 2020, the company generated a turnover of PLN 547 million, which is more than 10.5 percent more than in 2019, delivering 1.97 million shipments. Thanks to investments in the expansion of its domestic branch network, the company now has 25,000 sqm of handling space in Poland and nearly 33,000 sqm of high-quality warehouses for contract logistics.

“The ongoing pandemic, although it has brought many new challenges, has not stood in the way of DACHSER's development in Poland. We continue to set ourselves ambitious challenges and believe that we will be able to achieve them,” says Grzegorz Lichocik Ph.D., Managing Director of European Logistics at DACHSER Poland. 

“As a company that is part of a global logistics network we are also preparing our organization to be able to react faster to changes. Currently, we are focusing on further network expansion for groupage shipments, as well as the development of contract logistics and the sea and air section”
