Detroit is best known as the center of the U.S. automotive industry, with the "Big Three" auto manufacturers headquartered in Metro Detroit. The new location provides DACHSER with the ability to work with another sizeable U.S. airport that services a large number of international flights. This expansion will further meet the demand of DACHSER’s customers as the company becomes even more integrated into the automotive industry.

After recently expanding the Cincinnati and Minneapolis offices, Detroit was the next logical step for our Midwest expansion.

“After recently expanding the Cincinnati and Minneapolis offices, Detroit was the next logical step for our Midwest expansion,” said Frank Guenzerodt, President and CEO of DACHSER USA Air & Sea Logistics Inc. “As a service provider, being close to our customers is vital. Therefore, we will continue to focus our efforts on expanding our physical footprint in the United States, as well as finding innovative ways to meet customers’ needs best.”

Expanding business

DACHSER combines its efficient European road transport and warehousing network with global air and sea logistics offering shippers integrated logistics solutions from a single source while optimizing their worldwide supply chains. Besides continuously focusing on the European and Asian trade lanes, DACHSER USA is also expanding business to and from Latin America.

“We are consistently searching for ways to improve our intelligent combination of logistics network competences to achieve the best possible connection between our markets. This expansion into Detroit will further our ability to serve the growing demands presented by the automotive industry”, said Guenzerodt.

Brexit: Important information for ASL customers

We face the possible event that the United Kingdom will leave the European Union by the end of October 2019. This will affect shipments from and to the UK and delays are to be expected. Reasons are amongst others that a higher percentage of shipments has to be processed by customs authorities and that European shippers might switch to Air Freight to avoid border controls. We expect delays particularly for shipments that do not move into the UK directly or out of the UK directly but via continental Europe. For example if Sea Freight shipments are unloaded in Rotterdam and then forwarded to the UK via truck and ferry: 

  • Fiscal representation in continental Europe will no longer be possible for goods to the UK. Instead, a transit procedure must be opened.
  • The expected problems in Calais/Dover will cause delays in the delivery of goods to the UK.
  • Incoterms for subsequent deliveries from the EU to the UK may also have to be converted if necessary, as costs for customs clearance have to be included.

Therefore we strongly suggest to ship directly to the UK whenever possible, at least for some time following the Brexit until things clear up.

In addition to that, you can also find our “Brexit checklist” here.
