DFDS partners with global & local enterprises

DFDS Logistics in Ghent has decided to outsource its repair and maintenance workshop to Global & Local Enterprises, who manages a chain of workshops with well-trained mechanics and supervisors. They will now handle the repairing and maintenance of our trucks and trailers.

Joop Roijakkers, Chairman of Global & Local Enterprises, says: “Thank you to Luc Geysen for making this long-term partnership happen in an efficient and timely manner. The workshops are our first strategic priority. Our goal is to expand and have our operations close to major European transport hubs. I am very happy to further execute on our outsourcing concept, this time at the Ghent harbour in Belgium with DFDS”.
Luc Geysen, Managing Director, DFDS Logistics Belgium, says: “We were looking for a reliable partner to run our workshop and decided to use their experience, skills and focus to create a win-win solution for both partners.”
We will now focus on the development of our 4PL asset-based solution, where we offer customers to take overall responsibility for their logistics activities and entire supply chain by managing the people, process and technology. With our extensive network consisting of rail and road services, terminals, vessels, and hub, together with a strong IT-backbone, we are able to offer custom made solutions to selected industries.”
