Overview
DACHSER is a family-owned German logistics company founded in 1930[15]. Armstrong & Associates ranked it fifteenth on its 2026 global 3PL list with 2025 gross logistics revenue of US$9.3 billion, and tied it fifteenth on its 2026 freight forwarders list[1][2]. Its own 2025 figures show 37,452 employees, 427 locations and 42 country organisations, with consolidated net revenue of 8.3 billion[15].
Its global network is organised as Air & Sea Logistics, European Logistics (including procurement logistics), Food Logistics, Industry Solutions, Rail Services and a warehouse network[15]. European Logistics is a groupage (consolidated less-than-truckload) network, and Food Logistics serves grocery and food producers.
Family ownership distinguishes DACHSER from listed and state-linked competitors, and its European groupage product suits mid-sized manufacturers that ship pallets across many countries. It is smaller outside Europe than the forwarders ranked above it.
