Dachser buys majority stake in its Irish partner, Johnston Logistics
GERMAN logistics company Dachser has become a majority shareholder of its partner in Ireland, Johnston Logistics Ltd, enabling the company to expand and strengthen its logistics network throughout northwestern Europe.
"Our customers in Ireland already benefit from uniform services and quality standards, fixed transit times, and a tightly meshed network of Dachser branch offices throughout Europe," says COO road logistics at Dachser, Michael Schilling. "In Johnston Logistics, we've acquired a well-established family company that we've worked with and trusted for a long time. We see this investment as an exciting opportunity to further enhance our all-important European network."
Albert Johnston will remain a shareholder and managing director of Dachser's new subsidiary in Ireland. "Ireland's tremendous economic growth makes it a key logistics region. This purchase allows us to offer our customers the entire range of high-quality services that Dachser is renowned for," says Wolfgang Reinel, Dachser managing director of European logistics for North-Central Europe.
Since it entered into partnership with Dachser in 2007, family-owned Johnston Logistics has tapped international markets and benefitted from daily departures to Dachser's European overland network. Dachser organises Ireland shipments at its branch offices in Cologne, Germany and Zevenaar, the Netherlands. There are also daily connections between Ireland and the UK.
