Damco: See how global logistics work
Ever wondered how citrus fruits make it from the most remote part of South America to cocktail bars in Scandinavia? Or how clothing items make it from one manufacturer into fashion stores all over the world? Now you can see for yourself in less than five minutes.
Today, a new kind of corporate movie sees the light of day. Damco, one of the world’s leading logistics companies, has launched a short movie to showcase how global logistics work.
This movie provides an idea about of how you navigate in growth markets and how you manage complex supply chains! And overall - how do you solve the logistical challenges of today, where economies are under pressure and differences in markets are many?
The new movie tells the story about how the Damco people work for customers to provide maximum control of their supply chains at minimum cost. The overall objective of the movie is to show that the company's hardware and services are matched only by the competency and trustworthiness of their people.
“With this movie, we present a modern, professional and true testament to the Damco experience, which not only focuses on our best practice technical aspects but also on the people that make customer value happen”, CEO of Damco, Rolf Habben-Jansen said.
In the movie you will meet Damco employees and also senior management.
