In September 2007, the Dachser international logistics company inaugurated a brand new logistics platform at Mouscron.

Erected on a 35,000 m² site, this functional, high-security logistics base, which represents 6.3 million euros' worth of investment, has an operating area of 8,800 m², is served by 71 bays and employs 150 persons. It is located at the border between Belgium and France - and also between Belgium's two languages - and at the centre of two strategic corridors formed by the Madrid-Rotterdam axis towards the Scandinavian countries and the London-Eastern European countries axis.

In 2006 the Dachser Group realised a turnover of 3.1 billion euros. It provides jobs for 15,000 employees at 294 sites worldwide, more than 150 of them in Europe.
