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.

Our Sustainability Summit is a way to unite our global team, fostering collaboration and sharing best practices that are crucial for advancing our collective efforts. By coming together, we can leverage diverse perspectives, align our strategies and amplify our impact, ensuring that we can meet our sustainability goals. Alongside insights from our skilled colleagues, our ambassadors also had the chance to hear from a range of external speakers.

Today is another day for celebration, as we mark the fifth anniversary of our acquisition of Panalpina Welttransport. Panalpina was one of the world’s leading providers of supply chain solutions and the acquisition allowed us to add thousands of skilled colleagues to DSV. Together, we are an even stronger organisation today than what we were five years ago. One of the colleagues who joined us through the acquisition was Giannina Huguet Daza, who is based in Chile. She explains her thoughts when the acquisition was first announced: “As with any big change, there was some uncertainty about how the process would develop. As time went by and uncertainties were clarified, it was amazing to see how welcoming our DSV colleagues were and how we got to take on new roles and responsibility, which created a lot of excitement.” With an integration that was completed only months before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, Giannina recalls that there were some obstacles. However, she also points out the many benefits of the combination: “By joining forces, we were onboarded to DSV’s uniquely efficient IT infrastructure, which made our lives a lot easier. We also expanded our network and reached new customers and markets, which is a big plus. In addition, we were able to position ourselves as a larger brand, and customers came to see us as an even more powerful partner to rely on. Many loyal customers from the Panalpina era are still with us today and appreciate the professionalism and effectiveness with which we deliver for them.” When reflecting on her reasons for still being part of DSV today, Giannina shares: “First of all, I like the working environment – my colleagues are a big part of what makes my experience in DSV very enjoyable. I have also been given opportunities to further develop my career by taking on new roles, which I am very grateful for. Besides this, I like that DSV is constantly setting ambitious goals and looking for chances to grow, evolve and further develop,” she says and adds: “I am looking forward to seeing what the future holds for DSV. I know that I will continue to be supported in my development and I am excited to take on new responsibilities when the time is right, continuing to improve and also help younger colleagues develop their talents.” To learn more about our history and how DSV became the company that we are today, visit: https://ow.ly/aMvc50T0PXX #Transport #Logistics #Annivesary #Acquisition
