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.

Current situation in Suzhou: impact on the operations of DACHSER

A COVID-19 outbreak has occurred in Suzhou, China. According to an emergency notice from the Suzhou authorities, several new cases were reported locally.

As the situation is not improving in Suzhou, the local government is launching the second round of tests in the city. Meanwhile, more and more entrances of highways connecting Suzhou to and from other cities and provinces have been closed or restricted. Therefore, delays in cargo pick-ups and deliveries are expected even though the ports are operating.

The DACHSER branch in Suzhou keeps open and the employees continue to provide customers with effective supply chain management.

Local representatives at DACHSER will be happy to provide information about shipments and possible alternatives.
