"Our success is based on reliability and quality"

An increasingly difficult economic environment and high demands on logistics: As successful as 2022 was for DACHSER, it was also challenging. Customers particularly appreciated the resilience that DACHSER brought to their supply chains. CEO Burkhard Eling looks ahead to 2023 with confidence. Significant investments in the logistics network, digitalization, climate protection, and employees set a clear course for DACHSER.

DACHSER CEO Burkhard Eling: "Resilience is first and foremost in demand."

“2022 was a very successful year economically for DACHSER. We realized another leap in growth and were able to increase our revenue by almost 15 percent to over EUR 8 billion. This takes us into a new order of magnitude.

It is the reliability and quality of our services that are behind this success. In view of the global supply chain disruptions, our customers are changing their production and supply structures. They are positioning themselves more broadly geographically, increasing storage capacity in Europe and making their supply chains more crisis-resistant overall. Resilience is first and foremost in demand - and is being rewarded.

However, 2022 was also an extremely challenging year. Indeed, part of the overall picture is that we did not grow as strongly overall as in the previous year and have seen a clear normalization of business since September. Accordingly, the end of the year was characterized by declining rates in air and ocean freight and cautious customers. For 2023, we therefore only expect growth in the low single-digit percentage range. 

A clear target picture for the year 2030

This development does not worry us. Quite the opposite. We have developed a clear target picture for the year 2030 and answered fundamental questions to this end: What services do we want to offer our customers? What does DACHSER do for its employees as an employer? How do we position ourselves as a stable and secure family-owned company for the future?

This compass sets the course for us. We are investing significantly in this: around EUR 200 million in 2022, over EUR 300 million in 2023. We are expanding our network, investing in digitalization, climate protection, and in our employees. These are record sums that will ensure that our growth into a new league is also sustainable."

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.
