DACHSER expands its network
29th April, 2010 International logistics provider, DACHSER, has expanded its service network in the UK through the acquisition of north-west based regional and national distribution specialist, Leach Distribution.
Through the recently completed asset deal, DACHSER has acquired the UK transport and distribution business of J.A. Leach Transport Limited, located in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. The Leach Distribution facilities, located in a key industrial area of the UK and well situated to serve the whole of the north of England, represent a significant expansion to DACHSER’s presence in the UK market, adding to the existing branch offices in Northampton and Dartford.
“This investment will strengthen our market position in the UK and create operational synergies with DACHSER’s established international network. Customers will benefit from the combination of a regional presence and our integrated pan-European pallet and full-load services as well as DACHSER’s global network,” says Nick Lowe, DACHSER’s UK Managing Director.
“DACHSER and Leach are an ideal fit,” says Lowe, “Both share the same traditional values of personalised, high-quality service levels; both are family-owned enterprises. In addition DACHSER will be able to bring new levels of investment in IT and infrastructure to the current Leach resources,” he added.
