DACHSER USA grows in Dallas and Boston

In the first half of 2023, two DACHSER branches in the United States have moved to larger offices to accommodate their growth. Dallas office in Texas and Boston office in Massachusetts are now situated in larger, more strategic locations, responding to the company’s development in the respective regions.

Similar to the old branch, the new location of Dallas office (pictured) is only minutes away from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

While the move of the branch in Dallas itself has already been conducted in March, the relocation has now been completed with last finishing touches in the office. Similar to the previous location, the new facility is only minutes away from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. Located in a modern complex with an office space three times as big as the former one, the physical expansion is in line with the operational growth of the logistics provider in the area. With several large freight forwarders and fulfilment centers of global players in the vicinity, DACHSER Dallas is located right in the heart of the logistics and transportation hub of Texas.

Besides Dallas, Boston branch has moved to a new facility with several strategic advantages at the beginning of this year. The office is conveniently located in the city of Peabody in the Greater Boston area. On site, the premises provide capabilities to double the number of employees in comparison to the previous branch location.

In both Texas and Massachusetts, DACHSER can look back on a long and successful history. While a location in Boston has been existing since 2005, DACHSER had started its presence in the Lone Star State in September 2011. Out of only four employees that had established Dallas branch almost 12 years ago, three still work on site up until this day. In total, around 20 employees are working in Dallas as of June 2023.


 

Strong presence throughout the United States

Founded in 1974 with an office in New York, DACHSER USA Air & Sea Logistics Inc. is the US subsidiary of German logistics service provider DACHSER SE. With currently 11 branches and around 240 employees, 52,276 shipments were handled in 2022, equaling a tonnage of 69,211 tons.

Chinese New Year: Impact on logistics

In 2021, Chinese New Year falls on February 12, it is the biggest festival in China where people celebrate the beginning of a new year with their families. The week-long national public holiday has consequences on global supply chains.

The following information provides an overview of some key facts of the festival and its possible impacts on logistics.

Dates and key facts

  • February 12, 2021 marks the start of the Chinese New Year (the year of Ox).
  • Chinese national holiday begins on February 11 and ends on February 17, meaning that most of the businesses, including DACHSER branches in China, will be closed and resumes on February 18.
  • Factories and manufacturing sites used to be closed for a longer period of time. Production might pause already one week before Chinese New Year, some factories will only resume one month after.
  • The long holiday allows workers in the city to travel back to their hometown for a family reunion, though it might not be the case this year due to the pandemic.

Impact on supply chain

  • Extensive holidays in China can lead to delays to your shipments for up to one month.
  • Due to the abovementioned closing period of manufacturing industries, there will be no productions from China for at least a week. Even though factories will be restarting gradually, operations will not resume to full swing immediately.
  • Productions from other countries in Asia will also be impacted as some parts might come from China or the assembling processes are done there.
  • Most shippers will stock up inventories that are sufficient to cover the Chinese New Year period, this leads to a pre-holiday cargo rush; it will also take some time after the festival to normalize the market conditions.

Get prepared

To avoid unnecessary price hikes and delays, it is strongly recommended to place bookings well in advance. At DACHSER, our logistics experts can help you to plan together. Feel free to discuss with us about your needs and we can work out the best to maintain your supply chain uninterrupted throughout the Chinese New Year.
