DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics took over all the air freight volume between Europe, the U.S., South America, Mexico, South Africa, and the Middle East for ZF Friedrichshafen, the world’s second-largest automotive supplier. Now, Jochen Müller, COO Air & Sea Logistics, and Hubert Diepolder, Key Account Management, accepted the ZF Supplier Award for Non-Production Material on behalf of DACHSER.

High reliability and proactive problem-solving approach

In conferring the award, ZF honored its logistics partner for its “high reliability and proactive problem-solving approach,” for “excellent communication and superlative reporting,” for its “strong presence in the global arena,” and for “taking the initiative on improvements / cost reduction.”
“This honor from one of our customers was possible only with the support of all participating employees at the country organizations involved,” emphasizes Müller. DACHSER’s business with ZF will now be steadily expanded upon this basis. Following this success with air freight, Diepolder reports that DACHSER has already received a contract from ZF for a significant volume of sea freight.

Chinese New Year: Impact on logistics

In 2021, Chinese New Year falls on February 12, it is the biggest festival in China where people celebrate the beginning of a new year with their families. The week-long national public holiday has consequences on global supply chains. 

The following information provides an overview of some key facts of the festival and its possible impacts on logistics.

Dates and key facts

  • February 12, 2021 marks the start of the Chinese New Year (the year of Ox).
  • Chinese national holiday begins on February 11 and ends on February 17, meaning that most of the businesses, including DACHSER branches in China, will be closed and resumes on February 18.
  • Factories and manufacturing sites used to be closed for a longer period of time. Production might pause already one week before Chinese New Year, some factories will only resume one month after.
  • The long holiday allows workers in the city to travel back to their hometown for a family reunion, though it might not be the case this year due to the pandemic.

Impact on supply chain

  • Extensive holidays in China can lead to delays to your shipments for up to one month.
  • Due to the abovementioned closing period of manufacturing industries, there will be no productions from China for at least a week. Even though factories will be restarting gradually, operations will not resume to full swing immediately.
  • Productions from other countries in Asia will also be impacted as some parts might come from China or the assembling processes are done there.
  • Most shippers will stock up inventories that are sufficient to cover the Chinese New Year period, this leads to a pre-holiday cargo rush; it will also take some time after the festival to normalize the market conditions.

To avoid unnecessary price hikes and delays, it is strongly recommended to place bookings well in advance. At DACHSER, our logistics experts can help you to plan together. Feel free to discuss with us about your needs and we can work out the best to maintain your supply chain uninterrupted throughout the Chinese New Year.
