"DACHSER Japan K.K." will establish its first office in Tokyo at the end of 2023 thanks to a joint venture agreement that Dachser has signed with the Japanese logistics firm Nishi-Nippon Railroad Co., Ltd.
The Japanese facility will provide air and sea transportation as part of Dachser's global network and will be linked to Dachser's extensive overland transportation network in Europe. DACHSER Japan will be led by Yves Larquemin, Managing Director of DACHSER South Korea, in addition to his current responsibilities.
"We are delighted to be taking the next step of our development in the Japanese market," says Edoardo Podestà, COO DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics. "Customers in Japan and worldwide looking for reliable and resilient door-to-door services will benefit from Dachser's logistics expertise, comprehensive global network, and advanced digital information systems."
"Japan is the world's third-largest economy and a key player in the automotive and electronics industries. There is also enormous business potential for pharmaceutical and medical products. The combination of sector-specific expertise and globally connected services means that we can offer our customers logistics that adds value," says Yves Larquemin, future Managing Director DACHSER Japan and DACHSER South Korea.
With its headquarters in Kempten, Germany, Dachser is a family-owned corporation that operates in two sectors: Dachser Air & Sea Logistics and Dachser Road Logistics. It offers warehousing, transport logistics, and specialised services.
