Rhenus Warehousing Solutions has signed an agreement to acquire the Danish company DKI Logistics A/S and its warehouse investment affiliate DKI Automatic A/S (together “DKI”). The logistics provider specialises in complete warehousing and supply chain solutions with customised value added services. With the acquisition, Rhenus Warehousing Solutions expands its presence in Europe to the Nordic countries.
Founded in 2001, DKI is now one of Denmark’s leading third-party logistics providers with 350 employees. DKI has seven warehouse locations spread between the headquarters in the port city of Horsens and the cities of Herning and Køge. With more than 280,000 square metres of warehouse space, DKI offers various inbound, storage, order handling and transport services for the Danish market. Companies from the healthcare, FMCG, furniture, clothing, household appliances and DIY product sectors are among its customers.
The seven DKI warehouses aim to have a high degree of automation in picking, packing and sorting. One new warehouse is currently being built and is expected to be completed by the end of 2022; another is planned for the coming year.
Andreas Plikat, General Manager Rhenus Warehousing Solutions, says: “Rhenus Warehousing Solutions and DKI both stand for high-quality and scalable customer solutions. In this respect, it was the logical step for us to shape our market entry into the Nordic countries together with DKI.”
In addition to geographically complementing the Rhenus Warehousing Solutions network in Europe, this acquisition strengthens the presence of the Rhenus Group in the FMCG and healthcare sectors. With locations in Copenhagen and Aarhus, the logistics specialist aims to offer a reliable service in close proximity to its customers.
The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals and closing is expected in Q4 2022.
