As one of the global leaders in the logistics industry, DACHSER has successfully proven for decades that a family-owned company can achieve much with committed employees and innovative thinking.

The foundation for this corporate thinking and acting rests on the initiative of the founder, Thomas Dachser. The company, headquartered in Kempten, was established in 1930 and is one of the global leaders in the field of system logistics today. A seamless, global transport network and exemplary IT solutions guarantee the most intelligent combination and integration of logistics network competences worldwide.

The DACHSER business model comprises transport logistics, warehousing and customer-specific services in three business divisions: DACHSER European Logistics, DACHSER Food-Logistics and DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics. The offering is rounded out by services that span across business divisions, such as DACHSER Contract Logistics and Consulting, as well as industry-specific solutions for the chemical industry and the DIY sector.

DACHSER is much more than a perfectly-functioning logistics services provider. Here at DACHSER, we see ourselves predominantly as a family-owned business rich in tradition, that draws its commitment and innovative power from the trusting and constructive cooperation of its employees. Our culture is characterized by solid values, the spirit of humanity, tolerance and sustainable corporate management.

Only those who treat their fellow human beings, customers and the environment with respect and mindfulness can operate credibly and successfully in international markets long-term. We are very proud of our employees in all areas of the world who live this "DACHSER SPIRIT" with passion and conviction, and also carry it to the outside. All these things allow us to be a reliable partner for logistics customers from industry and commerce.
