DANX enters new Polish joint venture

TIME-CRITICAL logistics specialist DANX (part of the DANX Carousel Group) has announced a new joint-venture with Polish logistics specialist, ILS. The strategic partnership will create a strong distribution network in Poland, in response to growing demand for highquality time-critical and in-night logistics solutions in Eastern Europe.

As the sixth largest economy in Europe (by GDP), DANX’s joint venture in Poland will support the DANX Carousel group in realising its ambition to become the European leader for time critical in-night logistics, dramatically growing its service offering and providing a firm foundation for further expansion across Eastern Europe. Both ILS and DANX have extensive experience in aftermarket and spare parts logistics, and this partnership brings together each of their strengths. It is anticipated that the joint venture will be operational by Spring 2023.

“With the recent growth in the Polish economy, we recognise the importance of responding quickly to changes in the market.

ILS is a national logistics powerhouse in Poland, offering not just a huge physical presence but also in-depth knowledge and vast expertise unmatched in this region. With demand for in-night and time-critical logistics at an all-time high, this partnership combines the very best expertise, dynamic solutions, and a strong network, to ensure our clients can be supported in line with this dramatic market

growth,” Lars Bo Larsen, Managing Director at DANX Denmark & Poland, stated.

“This joint venture will also provide extensive support to our wider, ambitious growth plans. For instance, it provides the perfect foundation for advancing sector specialisms - such as Materials Handling and Technology/IT - which can both benefit from our vast PUDO network. Ultimately, it’s a great collaboration and we’re looking forward to getting started.”

“We would like to provide DANX customers access to the highest quality services in new geographical locations. This includes ILS comprehensive distribution chain and PUDO dense nationwide network, as well as access to modern logistics centres and midi hubs. Customers will also benefit from ILS extensive knowledge of the Polish market,” Wojciech Aleksandrowicz, President and Managing Director at ILS, added.

“DANX is a reliable partner, a company with great potential, knowledge and a significant software and technology background. The establishment of the joint venture is an opportunity to provide our customers with new services, the demand for which has increased significantly in recent years. In-night delivery will comprehensively strengthen our portfolio of services. We believe that this strategic partnership will provide extraordinary opportunities and growth possibilities for both parties,” Aleksandrowicz concluded.

MESSE München is bringing its international logistics fair to Southeast Asia for the first time.

From 1st to 3rd November 2023, the inaugural edition of the new trade fair for transport logistics and air cargo will gather key players in global supply chains in Singapore, including DP World, Dubai South, DHL, dnata, Changi Airport and Etihad.

The event is well-timed, as established trade routes are increasingly shifting in the wake of global crises to find new ways to reliably connect global markets. Singapore and the entire Southeast Asian region are of particular relevance in this development, as the location is already one of the globe’s leading hubs and is likely to become even more dynamic in the future as an internationally trusted region from a geopolitical perspective.

The interest in the first transport logistic Southeast Asia is correspondingly high: “The current occupancy of two halls at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre already exceeds the originally expected size of the exhibition. We are currently planning to add a third hall,” Michael Wilton, CEO of MMI Asia, the regional subsidiary of Messe München, confirmed.

With Singapore having historically been a major hub for trade to and from Asia, many of the world’s logistics service providers already have their branches and regional headquarters there. In addition, the Singapore shipper network is also strong. Many of the shippers that have a presence in the ASEAN region or throughout Asia are also present in Singapore. The three-day event will provide managers of supply chains and distribution networks with access to the companies providing these services and gives them the opportunity to present their services and products to the market.

“With Southeast Asia, we are expanding our transport logistic portfolio to include a new and very dynamic world region. This allows us to attract new customers and partners to our show and to help existing customers who are present at our events around the world to enter new markets in an emerging region,” Dr. Robert Schoenberger, head of transport logistic exhibitions, added.

Messe München is the organiser of the world’s leading events for the transport logistics and air cargo industry. transport logistic Southeast Asia is the latest in a series of leading trade fairs that includes India (Mumbai), China (Shanghai), Turkey (Istanbul), South Africa (Johannesburg) and the world’s largest logistics event and mother show in Munich.
