Logistics provider Dachser is investing €6.5 million in a new 20,000 square metre facility in Stans in Tyrol, Austria.

Dachser’s new logistics center in Tyrol will provide customers with comprehensive transport and warehousing logistics, replacing its site in Hall. The facility will have 30 gates and a storage and logistics area covering approximately 4,700 square metres. Another section of the building offers space for additional loading stations and parking spaces.

With both Günther Platter, governor of Tyrol, and Michel Huber, mayor of Stans, in attendance, Dachser’s managing director European logistics Dachser Austria Günter Hirschbeck and his Tyrolean team performed the symbolic opening at the Tyrol logistics centre. Works on the new terminal are scheduled to begin operations in late 2017 and will create 40 new jobs.

Starting in late 2017, Dachser’s Stans-based facility will offer its customers everything from a single source: customised contract logistics services and a direct connection to the European transport network and worldwide air and sea freight services by Dachser Air & Sea Logistics.

Dachser currently has 10 terminals based in Austria, the latest of which at Tyrol will deliver precision-timed shipments to 362 locations throughout Europe. Daily shipments to eastern Europe and the Balkans will go through the Eurohub in Bratislava, Slovakia.
