Jens Bjørn Andersen, CEO of DSV, comments
"We are proud to welcome customers and employees of UTi to DSV.
I have no doubt that the combination of DSV and UTi is a recipe for
success; and with our united network, we will create exciting
opportunities for both customers and employees. We will now start
the integration process while taking care to maintain a high
service level towards all customers. The commercial activities of
DSV and UTi will continue under the DSV brand as we move
forward.”
Creating one of the world’s strongest transport and
logistics networks
The transaction makes DSV the fourth largest freight forwarder
in the world by adding approximately 50% to DSV’s existing revenue.
In addition, the new DSV has a more diversified geography and
business mix as well as:
- +40,000 employees
- +80 countries
- +1,000 offices and logistics facilities
- 4.7 mill. warehousing m2
The transaction has significantly strengthened our global market
position within Air & Sea, making us the world’s 6th and 7th
largest operator within ocean and air freight, respectively. It
also adds a global scale to our contract logistics division,
Solutions, and expands our road freight and distribution activities
to cover Europe, North America, Africa and Asia. Last but not
least, the new DSV will offer strong specialist skills in industry
verticals such as automotive, healthcare, consumer + retail,
chemicals, energy etc.
Due to the similarities in business, organisation and culture as
well as thorough preparations, we expect to be able to integrate
the two companies quickly and smoothly.
