DACHSER Denmark is German Company of the Year

Thursday June 1, DACHSER Denmark A/S was named German Company of the Year 2017 for its success in Denmark and its contribution towards renewing the industry. Copenhagen Capacity, Invest in Denmark and the Danish-German Chamber of Commerce launched the award to honor a German company, which creates growth in Denmark.

“DACHSER won this award because of the company’s great success in Denmark and its important position in the transport and logistics industry – a position which has been built over just a few years,” says Claus Lønborg, CEO of Copenhagen Capacity. “The company currently employs more than 210 people in Copenhagen and Kolding. The office in Copenhagen also acts as the Danish and Nordic head office. From 2011 to 2015, the number of employees has increased by 7.5 percent and the revenue has grown 33 percent. This development in Denmark is remarkable and among other things it is due to a constant focus on customers.”

Out of 22 applicants only three were shortlisted and evaluated before a professional jury, this year consisting of Philipp Schröder, professor at Aarhus University; Lykke Friis, Vice President of the University of Copenhagen and Marion McPherson, CEO of Bayer A/S and representative of last year’s winner. This year, the three nominees were GROHE, SSI Schäfer and DACHSER – all three candidates highly qualified.

We are very proud of this award

”We are very proud of this award,” says Finn Skovbo Pedersen, Managing Director of DACHSER Nordic A/S who accepted the award from the Minister for Foreign Affairs Anders Samuelsen at the Confederation of Danish Industry’s offices at the heart of Copenhagen. ”The award is a recognition of the great work that everybody at DACHSER Denmark performs every day. It is a milestone for us to be named German Company of the Year 2017 because it shows that our hard work is valuable not only for our customers but also for the business community in Denmark.”

Mixed doubles

Introducing new sporting trends like padel to the European playing field calls for effective teamwork—and the logistics are no exception.

On a green court about half the size of a tennis court, the ball is played back and forth in a rally. One smash of the ball and it goes out? Not in this sport. It bounces against a glass wall that’s about four meters high and drops back onto the court. Play goes on.

This sport, known as padel, can be best described a mixture of tennis and squash. The game is always played in doubles on a grass or artificial turf court that measures 20 meters long and 10 meters wide. Like in tennis, there is a net over which the players hit the ball back and forth. The difference is, the players must not hit the ball over the high walls surrounding the court—a bit like squash. Balls similar to tennis balls are used, but with a little less pressure to prevent them from bouncing too high on the rebound. The ball hits the solid face of the racket, which is covered with small holes. Made of fiberglass, the rackets are not dissimilar to paddles, which is what gives the sport its name.
