Acquisition
Dachser: Acquisition of air and sea freight forwarder ACA International
With the takeover of air and sea freight forwarder ACA International, Dachser is expanding its own Air & Sea Logistics (ASL) network by six locations "down under".
Dachser has acquired ACA International, headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. With this acquisition, the company completes its own air and sea freight network in the economically strong countries of Australia and New Zealand, which are also closely networked with Asia, Europe and North America.
ACA International employs 56 people and generated a turnover of around 75 million euros in 2021. The air and sea freight forwarding company was founded in 1982 and is privately owned. ACA International
provides integrated international transportation services to its Australian and New Zealand customers. The company places a strong focus on quality, expertise, innovation and collaboration, utilizing modern information technologies.
The company is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, with two further offices in Sydney and Brisbane. In New Zealand, ACA International is represented in Auckland, Wellington and Hamilton. In addition, the
company also has another branch in Kansas City, USA. ACA International is also present in the Greater China region. However, the Chinese locations are not part of the acquisition, as Dachser has been serving its
customers in China with its own locations since 2003.
ACA International has been managed for 14 years by experienced air and sea freight logistics experts Adam Cruttenden
Adam Cruttenden, Glenn Hall, Mark Weeks and Hervey Graham. Adam Cruttenden will assume the role of Managing Director ASL Oceania. "With this acquisition, we are continuing the growth course of
Dachser Air & Sea Logistics and close a gap in our global network of own locations with Australia and New Zealand," says Edoardo Podestà, COO ASL and Managing Director ASL Asia Pacific.
"We offer our customers seamless access to markets that are characterized by a dynamic economic environment, attractive location conditions and a high level of investment activity."
