Born in Denmark, Jesper Larsen has been in the logistics sector for more than 20 years. During this time he has worked in Denmark, Singapore, Cambodia, Philippines and Hong Kong for renowned logistics companies. Larsen joined DACHSER in 2018 as Managing Director of DACHSER Hong Kong. After successfully managing the Hong Kong organization for more than three years with strong results, he now takes responsibility for the South East Asia cluster.

Prior to Larsen’s appointment, the role had been vacant and was being remotely steered by DACHSER Asia Pacific regional management. With strengthened leadership of South East Asia now in place, the company aims to grow relationships with customers who will benefit from faster decision making. Furthermore, the international freight forwarder will increase product offerings tailored to local market needs.

South East Asia is an important area with large contributions to the global supply chain. We want to play a bigger role in this part of the world to continue supporting our customers’ needs. With our industry-specific solutions, we are confident we can add value to their supply chains

Short update on the general situation in the transport sector

In the second half of the year, the corona pandemic is still the predominant topic in the media. While at the beginning of the pandemic new findings on Covid-19 were being announced almost daily and many updates were also published by DACHSER on loading restrictions in Europe as well as in America and APAC, something like a "new normality" has now returned.

At the moment, there are no longer any universal country or customer restrictions. We would therefore like to ask our customers to clarify individual restrictions such as closures, changed opening hours etc. with the recipients of the goods themselves. We are closely monitoring the further course of the corona pandemic and will keep you informed immediately of any developments. Should new loading restrictions be imposed, these will be published again via our website.

If you have any questions on this subject, please contact your local contact person at the respective DACHSER branch.
