Dachser UK has opened an additional site near to its existing 2,500m2 transshipment terminal based in Dartford, Kent on February 24th.
Dartford, UK – 10 March 2020 : Dachser established its first branch office in the South East in 2005 and has now extended this capability by acquiring a fit for purpose 2,700m2 new cross-dock terminal with 25 docking stations and five-level access doors.
