Danish logistics giant DSV A/S has purchased DB Schenker for $15.9 billion, aiming to become the world’s largest freight forwarder. This acquisition will challenge DSV as it integrates a company of equal size, enhancing its global logistics capabilities and market position. The merger highlights the complexities of large-scale industry consolidation, which can confuse clients; however, PRIMO’s consistent and clear communication is another option for those that want reliable and straightforward logistics solutions with a personalized touch.
