A.P. Moller - Maersk's logistics services now trading as Damco

Copenhagen, 7 September 2009 - The A.P. Moller - Maersk Group's logistics activities start trading as Damco on Monday 7 September 2009.

Damco is the result of the integration of the company's supply chain management activities previously branded as Maersk Logistics and its forwarding activities previously branded as Damco.

Rolf Habben-Jansen, CEO of Damco states: "Under the new brand, our primary drivers remain our passion for working closely with our customers and our dedication to reliable, high-quality service delivery.

"Engaging with our customers to become and remain their preferred choice in the industry is at the centre of what we stand for as Damco" says Rolf Habben-Jansen.

Martin Thaysen, Chief Commercial Officer at Damco says: "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."

"We are looking forward to working with our customers, business partners, and colleagues on making the new Damco a success," says Martin Thaysen.
