The new DACHSER magazine is here!

When rising to meet new challenges, a future-proof company must adopt an agile and flexible mindset. That way, it can prove just how adaptable it is, time and again. You can read all about how DACHSER does just that in the latest issue of our magazine.

DACHSER magazine 02/24

It begins with a success story: DACHSER Service und Ausbildungs GmbH was launched ten years ago in response to the worsening shortage of professional truck drivers—a problem that resonates across the industry. The idea was for DACHSER itself to train drivers, enhance the image of the profession, and help the market attract and retain new drivers long-term. This concept soon began to bear fruit: DACHSER is now one of the largest trainers of professional truck drivers in Germany. Starting on page 6, our cover story uses our Bremen branch as an example of how DACHSER is a champion for the next generation of drivers.

Another, albeit entirely different, challenge that affects us all struck a few years ago: Brexit saw the United Kingdom leave the European Union and thus the European single market and customs union. Managing the flow of goods to and from the UK under entirely new conditions now called for additional flexibility and good ideas. Turn to page 16 to discover how the team at DACHSER UK are mastering this task and what role the new Smart Border Connect solution plays in this story.

To flexibly adapt to serve the needs of individual sectors, DACHSER relies on an extensive portfolio of tailored industry solutions. One industry that places highly specific requirements on logistics is fashion. The latest apparel must reach stores on time, efficiently, and wrinkle-free. Digel is just one of the fashion brands taking advantage of the services offered through the DACHSER Fashion Logistics industry solution. A key component here is the Roll&GOH customized container, which DACHSER developed in-house. To read more about the logistical challenges of the fashion world—and the solutions to them—turn to page 28.

Chinese New Year: Impact on logistics

In 2021, Chinese New Year falls on February 12, it is the biggest festival in China where people celebrate the beginning of a new year with their families. The week-long national public holiday has consequences on global supply chains. 

The following information provides an overview of some key facts of the festival and its possible impacts on logistics.

Dates and key facts

  • February 12, 2021 marks the start of the Chinese New Year (the year of Ox).
  • Chinese national holiday begins on February 11 and ends on February 17, meaning that most of the businesses, including DACHSER branches in China, will be closed and resumes on February 18.
  • Factories and manufacturing sites used to be closed for a longer period of time. Production might pause already one week before Chinese New Year, some factories will only resume one month after.
  • The long holiday allows workers in the city to travel back to their hometown for a family reunion, though it might not be the case this year due to the pandemic.

Impact on supply chain

  • Extensive holidays in China can lead to delays to your shipments for up to one month.
  • Due to the abovementioned closing period of manufacturing industries, there will be no productions from China for at least a week. Even though factories will be restarting gradually, operations will not resume to full swing immediately.
  • Productions from other countries in Asia will also be impacted as some parts might come from China or the assembling processes are done there.
  • Most shippers will stock up inventories that are sufficient to cover the Chinese New Year period, this leads to a pre-holiday cargo rush; it will also take some time after the festival to normalise the market conditions.

To avoid unnecessary price hikes and delays, it is strongly recommended to place bookings well in advance. At DACHSER, our logistics experts can help you to plan together. Feel free to discuss with us about your needs and we can work out the best to maintain your supply chain uninterrupted throughout the Chinese New Year.
