EXCLUSIVE Market Insight: DB Schenker appoints chief transformation officer

DB Schenker has internally announced the appointment of a chief transformation officer (CTO), sources say, charged with leading the German group on a “sustained strength” trajectory after a “hugely successful stint” since the pandemic began in Q1 20.
In our earlier “rumour mill tour” today we argued that something was “boiling” in Essen, where changes are driven by the intention to give continuity to the group’s organic growth strategy – with …

Denmark’s AP Møller-Mærsk Group (APMM) – which we argued at the end of 2020 had its finger on the M&A trigger – is now rumoured to be ready to deal, chiefly to boost its Less than Container Load (LCL) capabilities.

EXCLUSIVE Market Insight: Dachser shakes up the C-suite – two gone

It didn’t take long for privately-owned Dachser, a German 3PL with about €5.5bn of annual revenues, to change direction in 2021 after recent changes in its executive team.
“With [Bernhard] Simon gone [operationally], the man who didn’t need advice from anybody, Dachser readies for a new adventure,” one source said. Simon is still formally expected to become chairman of the firm’s supervisory board later this year.
Only last month it had emerged …

So here’s the latest speculation for your perusal, mainly focused on the German 3PL’s management changes in Asia Pacific.

M&A radar: SecurCapital eyes IPO, expect more bread-and-butter logistics deals

A re-pricing of risk has been well under way in logistics on the public markets since the pandemic began. Wherever we look at – from the 3PLs to the integrators via a few asset-heavy firms – stellar valuations are embedded in the multiples of a raft of supply chain actors.
Yet the smaller players suffer, chiefly from capital constraints, sowing the seeds of inorganic transformation for so many in what is …

Market insight: Coming soon: Ceva loads the C-suite with new exec from Hellmann

Nowadays some jokingly refer to Ceva Logistics as “Panalceva” because of a string of powerful hires from Panalpina in the wake of the DSV takeover – but, provocatively, it could well be time for a further enhancement from Marseilles, where its parent CMA CGM is headquartered.
Spare a thought for a casual marketing stunt or just a straight revamp. Then what about “Ceva Logistics Worldwide” or even “Ceva Worldwide Logistics” instead …
