Damco is primarily known in the market for the consistency and quality of its global operations and has, through high growth in the past years, become one of the leading players in the industry.

Damco's Chief Commercial Officer, Martin Thaysen, said that "the new brand gives us a much stronger platform to present and deliver our full service portfolio. We have a strong global coverage, with particular strengths in emerging markets, and we deliver both single freight forwarding services or structure more advanced individual solutions for our customers, depending on their needs".

Damco offers a broad range of supply-chain management and freight forwarding services to customers globally and has 10,500 colleagues in 272 offices, covering over 93 countries in Africa, Asia, North America, Europe, the Middle-East and Latin America.     

In 2008, the company had a net turn-over of $2.8-billion, shipped more than half a million TEUs ocean freight, air freighted over 60,000-tonnes, and handled over 50-million CBMs (equivalent to 2-million TEUs) for its supply-chain management customers.
