“I LOOK FORWARD TO BUILDING ON THE FOUNDATION WE HAVE LAID ALONGSIDE OUR STRONG MANAGEMENT TEAM ”
Heaping praise on the incoming chief executive , Thomas Plenborg , Chairman of the Board of Directors at DSV , highlighted Jens ’ “ innovative mindset and deep knowledge of our industry ”.
It ’ s been a busy few months for Jens , to say the least . In September , DSV confirmed it had struck a groundbreaking deal to purchase fellow logistics giant DB Schenker from German state rail operator Deutsche Bahn for an eye-watering € 14.3bn ( US $ 15.8bn ).
The acquisition forms a central part of DSV ’ s ambitious plans to create a global market leader in the transport and logistics sector , with Germany becoming an even more important market to the growing organisation . Around € 1bn ( US $ 1.1bn ) is set to be invested in the country over the next three to five years .
