· Wednesday, February 19, 2014

   Dachser USA has entered a newly expanded warehouse in Chicago, which will serve as its Midwest hub providing cross-docking, warehouse storage, distribution, and buildup and breakdown of air and ocean containers.
   “With the expansion of our Chicago-based warehouse, 80 percent of the U.S. population can be reached within two days by way of this new facility,” said Frank Guenzerodt, president and chief executive officer of Dachser USA, in a statement.
   The facility will be supported by Dachser’s proprietary Mikado warehouse management software. The wireless system manages stock and supports all warehouse procedures, including picking and storage to meet contract logistics services, the company said.
