Damco, the logistics arm of A.P. Moller-Maersk and one of the world’s leading providers of freight forwarding and supply chain management solutions, has announced that Maersk Distribution Services Inc. (MDSI) will be integrated into Damco.
MDSI generates around $200 million in revenue per year in the United States and Canada and employs more than 600 people. It is a warehousing and distribution company which delivers cross-docking, transload, warehousing and inland transportation services to customers from its 18 facilities in the major ocean and rail gateways in North America.
MDSI establishes a critical link between the international and domestic supply chains of many customers.
Over the past couple of years, MDSI has reorganized to optimize and upgrade numerous facilities. Company representatives said MDSI is now well positioned for growth. By integrating MDSI with Damco, overseas customers sourcing will benefit from systematic integration between the international supply chain to the domestic distribution, and it enables postponed decision making for final allocation of cargo to each store.
By delivering cost and carbon efficient transportation and distribution services, Damco now provides customers with integrated logistics solutions from sourcing through their supply chain, all the way to the store.
“The MDSI team is a natural extension to Damco. MDSI substantially enhances our offerings to the market and enables us to extend the scope of the services we offer to our valued customers" Rolf Habben-Jansen, CEO of Damco, said.
With MDSI now part of the organization, Damco employees around 1,000 people and generates more than $500 million in revenue in North America. For more information, visit www.damco.com and www.maersk-distribution.com.
