Dachser India, the joint venture between AFL Cargo and Dachser GmbH & Co. KG, has successfully completed one year in February 2008. The strategic venture, which was formulated a year back has shown some exciting developments and has paved a new model in the global freight forwarding industry.
Operating on a unique business model of 50:50 partnership, one of its kind in the industry, the company has witnessed strong growth in the very first year of the venture. The company has not only met but also exceeded its ambitious targets. Over the last year, Dachser India has offered customized services to all its customers across the globe through its widespread domestic (36 locations) and international (256 locations) network.
On the occasion Cyrus Guzder (Chairman, Dachser India) stated, "The joint venture established last year has marked a new milestone in the history of Indian Freight Forwarding Industry. We offer our customers the best synergies of AFL and Dachser, together with greater capabilities from one source with a range of logistics solutions delivered worldwide."
Detlev Janik, CEO, Dachser India, is pleased with the joint venture's excellent performance. He said, "By sharing resources and capitalizing on our respective strengths, the joint venture allows Dachser India to achieve meaningful synergies. Our customers are getting the benefit of expanded capabilities and improved service levels from one source. We offer them 'uniform standards of service' throughout the network and across all products."
Speaking about the plans for next year, Janik said," We are strongly focusing on the development of trade lanes in cooperation with Dachser. Traditionally, Europe, US and Far East (including Japan) have been the strong trade lanes for us. In order to take the full advantage of globalization, the imperative measures are being taken to tap the potential of emerging markets in South America, Central Europe, Africa and Russia."
The powerhouse in global logistics is getting even stronger. In India, new branches have been opened, which will further expand the domestic reach and network of Dachser India to 36 locations. On the international front, also, Dachser has created new setups in Lisbon and Waddinxveen in the Netherlands, as well as in Mouscron in Belgium. In Shanghai, Dachser has made strategic investments and has created a state of the art warehouse.
The company continues to beef up its national and international network in the coming year as well as invest in technology and IT infrastructure to support the planned expansion and anticipations.
"Dachser India has propelled itself forward through a commitment to innovation, technological achievement and an ability to work with different cultures across the globe," says Thomas Reuter, MD, Dachser Air & Sea Logistics and Dachser India. "The joint venture enhances the competitiveness of both the partners, creating a long-term, strategic partnership. With our expanded network, we support our clients to reach their markets in India faster and more reliably and help to optimize their procurement in India", he added.
The AFL group is one of India's biggest logistics providers, and covers the entire country with over 400 locations, including 16 hubs and 50 high-tech warehouses. The family-owned company Dachser is one of Europe's leading logistics providers with its head office in Kempten in Germany. Dachser operates in the areas of Logistics, Air & Sea Logistics as well as Food Logistics and also offers the infrastructure for contract logistics. In addition to it, transport, warehousing and value added services are also offered.

At Dachser India, we believe that Technology is a big enabler of business and have therefore been amongst the Earliest Adopters of Technology in managing our business in the logistics industry.
