Global logistics firm Dachser Intelligent Logistics announced that it has established a head office in Malaysia to expand its service portfolio in the Asia-Pacific basin.
Dachser Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., a joint venture with Malaysian entrepreneur Ah Seng Tan, was opened in early May and is located in Petaling Jaya, near the capital city of Kuala Lumpur.
It offers forwarding services that range from air and sea freight business to customs clearance and other logistics services, a company statement said. There are also plans to open a second branch office in the country.
“In Malaysia we are now present in another Tiger State following Singapore and Thailand, enabling us to develop both international and inner-Asian freight services for the benefit of our customers,” said Thomas Reuter, managing director of Dachser Air & Sea Logistics.
Germany-based Dachser already has other branch offices in Asia, including in Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. It said it aims to extend its presence to 220 locations in 49 countries by 2017.
