German logistics company Dachser has strengthened its air and sea freight forwarding presence in North America with a 10% minority share in Synergie Canada.
Tobias Burger, chief operating officer air & sea logistics at Dachser, said the investment in Synergie Canada was key to growing the company’s presence outside of Europe.
“Canada is a highly attractive market for a global logistics provider like Dachser. As one of the seven leading industrialised nations, the Canadian economy is closely linked to the economies of the Americas, as well as our target markets in Europe,” said Burger.
“Expanding our presence in the Canadian market by acquiring a minority share of Synergie is essential for the continued growth of our business outside Europe. We’re delighted to have found the ideal partner for this expansion in Synergie Canada.”
Founded in 2008 and based near Montreal, Quebec, Synergie Canada specialises in air and sea freight services on transatlantic and transpacific routes and serves customers in the engineering, technology, fashion and aerospace industries. Synergie Canada also offers truck transport within Canada and across the border to the US.
In 2025, Synergie Canada generated revenue of approximately €60m and had a workforce of about 100 employees.
“Synergie Canada has grown rapidly in the 15 years since it was founded, evolving from a traditional overland transport forwarder into one of Canada’s leading logistics providers for international air and sea freight,” said Marc-André Guindon, president of Synergie Canada.
“Together with Dachser, we can now take the next step in our development and offer our customers even better access to international markets, particularly in Europe.”
