The case, based on extensive interviews with top executives and two generations of Dachser family owners, documents the genesis and spectacular growth of the global logistics specialist, a group that now has close to 400 locations on all five continents and employs 30,000+ people. Despite its global footprint, Dachser stayed loyal to both its core business – intelligent logistics – and to Kempten, a picturesque town of 70,000+ inhabitants and the center of gravity for Dachser’s operations and the place the Dachser family owners call home. Dachser received the IMD Global Family Business Award in 2019
