DSV - Global Transport and Logistics

Extending product life cycles – one spare part at a time 🔧 Regardless of your professional background and line of work, you have probably felt the frustration when a product you’ve used for years needs a simple spare part to continue working, but this spare part is no longer available. This is also becoming an increasingly common source of frustration for businesses of all sizes, as product portfolios expand and product life cycles decrease.  At DSV, we are always looking for ways to drive innovation and technological developments, so we can help our customers make their operations more efficient. For this reason, we are supporting RemakerSpace, which is part of the PARC Institute of Manufacturing & Logistics run by Cardiff University / Prifysgol Caerdydd, in developing a number of additive manufacturing and 3D printing solutions. Through this partnership, we want to illustrate how spare parts on demand can be a viable option for businesses in many different industries. Learn about the advantages of additive manufacturing and how it made a difference for Glory, as they began to leverage the benefits of producing low volume production parts for their business: https://ow.ly/p5BP50TAV0z #CircularEconomy #3DPrinting #Collaboration #Innovation

Every little action counts!   At DSV, we are committed to giving back to the communities where we operate, and we think World Cleanup Day is a great way for us to make a difference in our local communities. Today, teams of DSV employees came together in several countries across our global network. Colleagues joined forces to celebrate World Cleanup Day with a number of initiatives to collect waste from their local beaches, forests, rivers, and streets to help create a better and healthier environment.   Throughout the year, our teams voluntarily also organise clean-up initiatives during their free time, occasionally teaming up with our customers. World Cleanup Day is the world’s largest clean-up event and aligns perfectly with our commitment to better recycling practices and responsible resource use. Great to see our employees' dedication and enthusiasm in helping keep our local environment clean.    A big thank you to all DSV volunteers.

From groundbreaking to completed construction in less than two years! On 10 September 2022, hundreds of local colleagues as well as key members of our executive management were gathered on an empty plot outside of Horsens in Denmark to mark the groundbreaking of our largest and most ambitious construction project to date. This week, they were back again to inaugurate the 300,000 sqm integrated logistics centre, which will play an important part in our efforts to provide customers with state-of-the-art logistics services and seamless transport between Northern and Central Europe. Equipped with cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions, the facility will cater to a diverse range of products, temperature requirements and industry verticals. Additionally, we have taken various measures to ensure that the building lives up to our high sustainability standards. This includes installing the world’s largest roof-based photovoltaic system with solar panels delivering 35 megawatts of electricity. This set-up will provide electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of 6,200 Danish households – enough to power the entire logistics centre as well as 140 charging stations.  With our new facility now open, we look forward to continuing our work to keep our customers’ supply chains moving.
