The new DACHSER magazine is here!

It’s not often that logistics topics feature as prominently in the daily and business press as they have over the past few months. The global economy is recovering from the shock of the pandemic and in many places production is once again running at full speed. However, articles about the shortfall in raw materials and products, too few containers and pallets, the driver shortage, and a lack of storage space on overland, sea, and air transports are putting a damper on this revival.

DACHSER magazine 03/21

In this issue of the DACHSER magazine, we take a closer look at the current situation. Has the pandemic thrown global supply chains out of sync permanently? What are the next steps in globalization and worldwide logistics? Turn to page 6 to read more about current developments and how DACHSER is responding to them.

The best way to ensure stable supply chains is to have close-knit networks and clever solutions—an approach that’s also clearly demonstrated by our collaboration with Klebchemie, an innovative SME based near Karlsruhe, Germany. Its Kleiberit brand of adhesives ensures lasting bonds and its buyers are from all kinds of industries throughout the world. DACHSER’s Malsch branch provides Klebchemie with comprehensive support for smooth manufacturing logistics and distribution services. Turn to page 16 to discover how DACHSER’s state-of-the-art hazardous materials warehouse, which opened in 2019, fits into the story.

Also in this issue, starting on page 24, we report on the services we provide to renowned cleaning specialist Nilfisk. In collaboration with DACHSER, the company restructured its European logistics and is now benefitting from efficient processes and optimum transit times.

You’ll find these and other stories covering the current challenges, trends, and tailored logistics solutions in this latest issue. We hope you enjoy the new issue.

“When it comes to Brexit, many companies have their head in the sand”

The Brexit is complete and the transition phase will be history in a few weeks. No matter what agreements the EU and Great Britain may reach in the short term, January 1, 2021 will mean a deep cut for the movement of goods to and from Great Britain. Steffen Wiese, Head of Sales, European Logistics, North Central Europe at DACHSER, explains what companies urgently need to bear in mind and why some of them even run the risk of oversleeping the preparations.

National strike in France

The call for a National strike action on December 5, 2019 – raised last September is unfortunately still happening and, this Thursday, might become a “black Thursday”.

Unions, either trade or corporation, together with the “gilets jaunes” will demonstrate all over the national territory.

The protest movement becomes wider and wider and heavy disruptions are expected to interfere with transport and logistic activities: pick-up and delivery might be postponed and even cancelled.

Below are the main impacts on air, sea and rail activities:

  • Terminals in Le Havre, Fos sur Mer and Strasbourg shall be closed with no in (import) and out (export) movements on December 5th
  • Pick-up and delivery by barge or rail should be also very difficult
  • Air controllers have given a strike notice from December 5th up to December 7th, which may impact short and medium-haul flights and some of the long-haul flights al well, if the strike continues
  • Some unions representing the ground handling workers have also called for a renewable strike action from December 5th, and shipments might not be handled in time to catch the flights booked
  • Railway unions are also part of the protest.

Generally speaking, the pick-up and/or delivery of any shipment planned this week might be delayed or even postponed: road accesses to the main cities, as well as to both ports and airports might be blocked.

Rest assured that our operational teams will do their best to minimize the effects of this day and keep you posted on a regular basis of any development – bearing in mind that no boarding or uplifting guarantee will be given.

Please reach your usual contacts for a close follow up or for any question you may have.
