DACHSER Opens Branch in Luxembourg - The Grevenmacher branch is located between Trier (Germany) and Luxembourg City.

Hong Kong, 10 February 2011. DACHSER is reinforcing its position in the Benelux countries. With a new branch in Luxembourg, the internationally operating logistics provider is now present with its own facilities in 17 countries across Europe.

Operating under the name DACHSER S.a.r.l. Luxembourg, the new company based in Grevenmacher is directly connected to the Eurohub in Überherrn, Saarland/Germany. "This enables us to offer all European facilities regular connections with standardized shipment times, even if they don’t run direct services to Luxembourg," says Michael Schilling, DACHSER managing director for European Network Management & Logistics Systems. European customers thus benefit from optimal access to the Luxembourg market.

The Grevenmacher branch is located between Trier (Germany) and Luxembourg City. The site encompasses a 2,600-square-metre transshipment hall with 18 bays, and 800 square metres of offices. Initially, DACHSER will employ a staff of 25 in Grevenmacher. Torsten Baasner, responsible for forwarding management at the Überherrn facility since 2006, will be manager of the new branch.

DACHSER is present in the Benelux countries with another nine branches, five in the Netherlands and four in Belgium. Via DACHSER’s Air & Sea Logistics business segment, five of these locations have connections to intercontinental markets.
