Following the signing of the agreement to merge two global logistics majors –  DSV and UTi – in October last year, 60% of UTi offices around the world have been merged under the single DSV umbrella, while a significant amount of rebranding under the DSV name has also already taken place.

That’s according to DSV CEO, Jens Bjørn Andersen, speaking at a press conference to announce the group’s results earlier this week. He said that the merger of offices and IT systems was already more than halfway complete.

“UTi's and DSV's employees and operations are being united step by step across the world, and it is great to see that our new colleagues are highly motivated to become part of the DSV culture — that is crucial for a successful integration."
