A.P.Moller-Maersk's logistics services now trading as Damco
The A.P. Moller - Maersk Group's logistics activities start trading as Damco on Monday 7 September 2009.
Tweet-- Damco is the result of the integration of the company’s supply chain management activities previously braded as Maersk Logistics and its forwarding activities previously branded as Damco.
Rolf Habben-Jansen, CEO of Damco states: “Under the new brand, our primary drivers remain our passion for working closely with our customers and our dedication to reliable, high-quality service delivery.
“Engaging with our customers to become and remain their preferred choice in the industry is at the centre of what we stand for as Damco” says Rolf Habben-Jansen.
Damco is primarily known in the market for the consistency and quality of their global operations, and have through high growth in the past years become one of the leading players in the industry. They have taken leading positions with their supply chain development capabilities, as well as in the quest to reduce carbon emissions in supply chains.
Martin Thaysen, Chief Commercial Officer at Damco says: “The new brand gives us a much stronger platform to present and deliver our full service portfolio. We have a strong global coverage, with particular strengths in emerging markets, and we deliver both single freight forwarding services or structure more advanced individual solutions for our customers, depending on their needs.”
