DACHSER now at 100 percent in Chile

In April, DACHSER acquired all the shares in its Chilean subsidiary. The logistics provider had entered the Chilean market in 2009 as part of a joint venture.

DACHSER now at 100 percent in Chile.

“Chile is one of the most stable countries and strongest economies in South America, and plays a key role in intra-American trade along the Pacific coast,” explains Guido Gries, Managing Director DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics Americas. “We want to expand our presence there and closely integrate DACHSER Chile into our region and our global logistics network.”

Chile also has close economic and trade ties to Argentina, Brazil, Asia, Oceania, and Europe. Its main exports include copper, fish, fruit, paper, wine, and minerals.
