New DACHSER location in Le Havre for Contract Logistics and Air & Sea Logistics

DACHSER opened a new logistics facility in Le Havre in northern France. The site combines a Contract Logistics warehouse and a DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics branch, strategically located in France's largest freight port.

The new branch in Le Havre offers integrated logistics services at an important transport hub.

The new facility which opened in September serves as a hub for the transportation of goods by ship and truck and offers customers warehousing and value-added services. With a total area of 37,500 square meters, the site has storage space for up to 17,000 pallets, 5,400 of which are suitable for hazardous goods. In the multi-user warehouse, products from various industries can be stored and prepared for onward transport.

"This second warehouse location in Normandy is close to important roads and sea routes and not far from our branch in Rouen, thus supporting the further development of our business in the region," explains Stéphane Got, General Manager DACHSER Normandy. "Our combined offer of road, air and sea transport and warehousing is very popular."

Anthony Dupont, Managing Director DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics France, adds: "Our Contract Logistics and Air & Sea Logistics teams have been brought together in one location in Le Havre to ensure close cooperation and thus be able to respond optimally to customer requirements."

The new building is certified according to the BREEAM sustainability rating system and is equipped with energy-efficient LED lighting, photovoltaics and battery storage.

Important hub in the network

The new facility also serves as a Container Freight Station (CFS) for sea freight transports within the DACHSER network. The logistics company unloads the LCL sea freight containers that arrive via the port of Le Havre there, feeds the goods into its dense European overland groupage network via the new branch and brings them directly to French and European customers. Customers thus benefit from uniform and reliable shipment processing and DACHSER's high quality standards in groupage transports and contract logistics.

DACHSER optimizes its pioneering rolling container for store deliveries

Bringing clothing to retail without wrinkles or creases is the ultimate achievement in the transportation of fashion items. To attain it, DACHSER Fashion Logistics has developed a special rolling container for hanging and flat garments. The Retail Box (formerly Roll&GOH) can be easily transported on the truck bed together with other palleted goods and is easy for the driver to roll into the receiving fashion shop. Having launched this container around five years ago, DACHSER has now further optimized it and offers two different-sized models: Retail Box classic and small. When making these enhancements, DACHSER also considered the box’s potential for other sectors in which the stores to be supplied are often located in city centers, including the cosmetics industry and, increasingly, the electronics sector. There are no plans, however, to use it for shipping food.
