Jens labelled the deal a “ transformative event ” in DSV ’ s history , adding : “ With the acquisition , we bring together two strong companies , creating a world-leading transport and logistics powerhouse that will benefit our employees , customers and shareholders .
“ By adding Schenker ’ s competencies and expertise to our existing network , we improve our competitiveness across all three divisions : Air & Sea , Road and Solutions .
“ As well as enhancing our commercial platform across DSV , the acquisition will provide our customers with even higher service levels , innovative and seamless solutions and flexibility to their supply chains .”
Staying relevant While relatively new to the top job at DSV , Jens Lund has little to prove in the context of transport and logistics .
He has , however , spoken of the need to provide an integrated offering to customers that enables them to be successful , while investing in both physical and technical infrastructure , as well as employees .
“ You have to stay relevant ,” said Jens during a recent conversation with Brunswick Review . “ If we do the things necessary to achieve that , I think we ’ ll have definitely earned a prominent position within our industry .” supplychaindigital . com 31
