Dachser receives Lufthansa Cargo Quality Award

Dachser once again wins in the major German forwarders category

Kempten/Frankfurt, 6th February 2012. For the second year running Dachser has received the Lufthansa Cargo Quality Award. Once again the logistics provider convinced Lufthansa through the highest delivery quality among Germany’s major air freight forwarders.

Performance was measured according to quality parameters such as compliance with the scope of delivery, punctuality and handling care. In 2011, Dachser again secured first place in the category for major forwarders with over 10,000 air way bills.

The objective behind the Lufthansa Cargo Quality Awards is to achieve highest quality standards in the interaction between air freight forwarding and airline. “It is unusual for a logistics provider to receive the award two years in a row,” says a pleased Jürgen Huber, general manager of Dachser Air & Sea Logistics Germany, adding: “Quality has top priority at Dachser. The award sets us apart from other major German air freight forwarders and confirms that we are on the right track.”

In 2010, Dachser generated total revenue of EUR 3.8 billion. 19,250 staff working in 310 profit centres worldwide handled 46.2 million consignments weighing a total of 35.5 million tonnes.
