Transport and logistics company, Dachser, has integrated its Iberian subsidiary Azkar Group into its European road network under the names Dachser Spain and Dachser Portugal in a process that has been underway since 2013, when the company acquired Azkar. 

“The two companies were an excellent match right from the word go. We share the same values, and we have the same corporate culture and business vision,” said Bernhard Simon. “On this basis, we were able to advance quickly and smoothly with the integration. Simultaneously, we have achieved profitable growth on the Iberian Peninsula every year since the takeover.” 

Since the acquisition, Dachser has closely integrated its organizations in Spain and Portugal into its European group network. The 70 daily import and export lines that existed in 2013 have increased to 130, while the number of shipments from and to Europe grew by 40% over the same period.
