Passion wins

When it comes to moving things in a big way, logistics has many interlocking factors that must work in unison. At the end of the day, people and their personal commitment and sense of cooperation make all the difference. At DACHSER, logistics remains a people business—especially in difficult times.

Elton Yuan lives and loves logistics, so he is at home anywhere in the world.

There are many ways to broaden your horizons. You don’t have to climb the highest mountain or wander into the vastness of the desert. But sometimes that’s exactly what you need to do, as Elton Yuan, Department Head Air Freight North China in Shanghai, knows from personal experience. The 46-year-old Air & Sea Logistics specialist became acquainted with DACHSER in 2008 at an event for aviation experts—in the Namibian desert. “Out in the middle of nowhere, one of the participants told me more about DACHSER, later asking me if I was interested in working for the company with its global network. Of course I was! And I haven’t looked back since.”

Today, Yuan looks after some 400 different customers and coordinates 60 departures and 90 arrivals a day from DACHSER’s Shanghai location, the North China Gateway. “Together with my team, I strive to always find the best solutions to meet the needs of our customers.”

Vera Weidemann, Corporate Director Corporate Human Resources bei DACHSER: “The only way to get functioning value chains in logistics is by having people who are qualified and motivated to create them. That’s why, at DACHSER, putting our employees center stage is just as essential as focusing on our customers. We invest in fast, transparent, and understandable communication, in attractive compensation and working arrangements, in ergonomic work tools, in technology, and in the quality of education and training.”
