Global logistics company Dachser reports growing annual revenue

Dachser highlighted in a statement that the family-owned company also achieved significant annual growth in other key indicators, such as headcount (+3,300), number of locations (+56) and warehouse pallet spaces (+720,000).

Dachser also said that the growth was largely due to the acquisitions of DACHSER & FERCAM Italia, Frigoscandia and Brummer, which will appear on the balance sheet for the first time in 2024.

In purely organic terms, i.e. excluding acquisitions, Dachser grew by 4.7 percent compared to the previous year. This was driven by the flexibility of its European groupage network and the increase in prices for air and sea freight. The volume transported increased by 7.6 percent to around 83.2 million shipments, while the weight transported increased by 10.2 percent to around 44.1 million tons, the company said in a statement.

Dachser said that business development could have been more dynamic, but that Germany and Europe lacked the necessary momentum for growth.
