“Our Mendoza-based team at Dachser Argentina understands how important the wine business is to this region’s economy. We are proud to partner with our customer, Halpern Riego, to contribute to the vitality of the vineyards by overseeing the transport of precision drip irrigation supplies into the country.”

With Dachser Argentina’s logistics expertise, innovative solutions, and global network, we serve our customers efficiently, transparently and seamlessly – helping them retain their competitive edge while meeting the demands of the marketplace.

Eduardo Fernandes, Country Manager, Dachser Argentina

Facing uncertain local equipment stock levels, Halpern Riego turned to Dachser Argentina to manage the logistics of importing drip irrigation equipment to the country. In fact, they entrusted Dachser Argentina to transport more than 12 containers from Spain, Turkey, Israel and other regions. As a result, Halpern Riego is able to offer irrigation solutions to their customers throughout Argentina without disruption or delay.

Interestingly, any visitor to Mendoza or Argentina's northwest interior will be surprised that it is possible to grow anything at all, much less world-class Malbec wines. The entire region resides in the shadow of the Andes mountain range resulting in a dusty, dry countryside where it rarely rains. A lack of water can reduce yields and crop quality or destroy whole harvests. In turn, this can have a devastating impact to producers, growers and the local economy. Given this challenging backdrop, drip irrigation equipment is essential in order to maintain consistent water flow to these unpredictable arid climates.

“As an industry leader of irrigation solutions, the partnership with Dachser Argentina is a natural fit for us,” said  Mr. Adrian Lijteroff, Supply Chain Manager at Halpern Riego. “They bring proven global logistics knowledge and expertise, allowing us to be well positioned to successfully deliver our drip irrigation solutions to the wine production and agricultural markets in Mendoza and throughout Argentina. Thanks to Dachser, we can continue to offer our best-in-class equipment systems, which could make all the difference in wine yields and crop output projections.”

With over 20 years of experience as a global leader of irrigation solutions, Halpern Riego has been committed to investing in Argentina with the establishment of a local site in Mendoza. It offers innovative irrigation technologies that efficiently control water delivery in vineyards and agricultural fields. These systems can ensure better yields every season regardless of crops, climates, soil type or topography.

“At Dachser Argentina, our broad logistics expertise instills confidence in our customers that their businesses can run smoothly, and, in this case, essential irrigation equipment can continue to be accessible in Argentina,” added Mr. Fernandes.

Coronavirus: updates on DACHSER’s operations in China

The Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia recently spread rapidly in China and many cities and provinces have confirmed cases. In order to keep the epidemic under control, the Central Government has announced the extension of the Lunar New Year holiday to February 2. Local authorities, however, have requested enterprises in that region to not have their employees return to the office until a specific later date, mostly on February 10.

DACHSER Branches

Most of the DACHSER branches will officially re-open on February 10. Starting from Monday next week, February 3, depending on cities and permissions from local authorities, skeleton staff will be arranged to enter the office building to manage critical shipments and minimize impact like detention, demurrage fee, TLX release and etc. We regret that we could not provide full operations but will try out best to maintain basic services.

The date for re-opening is changing on a daily basis and is subject to change depending on the situation. As of today, January 31, 2020, the re-opening date of each branch is as follows:

  • Beijing: Feb-03
  • Chengdu: Feb-03
  • Dalian: Feb-10
  • Dongguan: Feb-10

Operations in Wuhan

DACHSER’s staff from Wuhan branch will work from home and part of the operations will be handled via our Shanghai team. Hubei Province Authorities announced that customers will need to apply transportation certificate from the local government and hand in the certificate to logistics company if they wish to have shipment to enter or exit the province by trucks.

General business in China

While we are trying our best to keep the operation as smooth as possible, please note that most of the factories in China are still closed; trucking services, flights and terminals are operating at minimum service level. Delays and other operational issues are to be expected.

We will continue to update you via our website with the latest information on how this is impacting your supply chain. Should you have any concerns and/or queries, please feel free to contact your local DACHSER representative.

To mark the occasion: update of our Brexit checklist

The EU withdrawal of the United Kingdom was completed on 31.01.2020. Currently we are in a transition phase which ends on 31.12.2020. A further extension of this transitional phase should have been agreed until 01.07.2020 and is therefore no longer possible. Thus, the United Kingdom will no longer be part of the internal market and the customs union as of 01.01.2021. If no agreement is reached between the UK and the EU in the remaining time of the transition phase, trade would in future fall under the rules of the World Trade Organization.

We at DACHSER cannot influence the political situation in the UK, but we can prepare you in the best possible way for regulated customs procedures. We have therefore adapted and updated our Brexit checklist to the current circumstances. You can download it here free of charge.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with your responsible contact person at the respective DACHSER branch.
