Dachser has become a member of the Global Partnership Programme of Lufthansa

Cargo. The logistics services provider, based in Kempten/Bavaria, sealed its membership in

an agreement signed with the cargo carrier in Frankfurt today.

Along with Dachser, ten other leading logistics providers are Global Partners of Lufthansa

Cargo. Together, they account for around half the revenues posted by Germany's biggest

cargo airline. The Global Partnership Programme has evolved into a major platform for joint,

sustainable growth.

"With Dachser in the membership base, we have additionally strengthened our Global

Partnership Programme", emphasised Dr. Andreas Otto, Lufthansa Cargo Board Member

Product and Sales. "The two companies have significantly expanded their joint business in

recent years. Dachser is pursuing an impressive and successful global expansion model

and we are delighted to be part of it. We now intend to continue on that path in even closer

partnership."

"In view of our centralised policy governing the choice of carrier, Lufthansa Cargo is with its

global route network, the frequency of its services, its acknowledged high quality, and intensive

support a strong partner for our intercontinental business. We are looking forward to

even closer cooperation," said Thomas Reuter, Managing Director Dachser Air & Sea Logistics.

Aside from Dachser, Lufthansa Cargo's Global Partners include Agility, CEVA, DHL Global

Forwarding, Expeditors, Hellmann, Kühne+Nagel, Panalpina, DB Schenker, UPS and UTi.
