Dachser has acquired the remaining 30% of shares in its Dachser South Africa arm and is now the sole owner of the Johannesburg-based country organization. The German-owned logistics provider entered a joint venture with the family-owned company Jonen Freight in 2011 and has now acquired the remaining shares from the founding Duve family. Detlev Duve, son of the company’s founder, will continue to lead Dachser South Africa as managing director.
The company offers air and sea freight transport as well as contract logistics services at three warehouse locations, along with road transport for industries such as chemicals, agriculture and mining.
