Working at Dachser UK

When Thomas Dachser founded his transport company in Kempten in 1930, he laid the foundation for a huge success story. On one hand, it portrays the changing world affairs of the past 80 years. On the other hand, it also represents the dynamic changes of the logistics industry in the age of globalisation and rapid technological progress.

DACHSER is characterised by the close, family-like team spirit of its employees. The principle is: Together we are DACHSER. Corporate management has set the following four significant goals: continued expansion as a family business, creation of new jobs, sustainable company policies, as well as the support of DACHSER's corporate culture. These measures aim to guarantee the economic success, and therefore the future viability of the company. 

DACHSER is much more than a perfectly-functioning logistics service provider. Here at DACHSER, we see ourselves predominantly as a family-owned business rich in tradition, that draws its commitment and innovative power from the trusting and constructive cooperation of its employees. Our culture is characterised by solid values, the spirit of humanity, tolerance and sustainable corporate management.

With more than 27,450 employees and over 409 locations globally, we are one of Europe's largest logistics service providers. Our growth in the global logistics market place has been made possible through our prompt reaction to market changes, a uniform business strategy and, in particular, the dedication and experience of our employees.

DACHSER promotes the expertise, creativity, commitment and entrepreneurial responsibility of each individual. Only employees who see themselves as co-entrepreneurs are able to design intelligent logistics: that is, the implementation of efficient logistics solutions and processes for our customers.

Inclusive responsibility
We are committed “holistically” throughout our operations and we think across regions and across disciplines.

Sustainability
As a worldwide company, we are conscious of the economic, environmental and social responsibilities of our actions. For this reason, we are not only deeply committed to a sustainable corporate policy but also act in accordance with it.

Loyalty and commitment
The "DACHSER SPIRIT" encompassing respect, loyalty and commitment toward a common goal is what binds shareholders, executive management, employees and customers together as one big "DACHSER family."

Integrity and honesty
DACHSER employees reflect the corporate values in their daily actions. They are honest, open, dependable and trustworthy in the interactions with their colleagues, customers and people in their private environment.

Cosmopolitanism and respect
As a logistics services provider with locations worldwide, we place the highest value on an open-minded approach to foreign cultures and their population. Being curious about unfamiliar customs and having sympathy and understanding for other ways of life is the best foundation for intercultural exchange and trustful cooperation.
