Panalpina

Panalpina was a Swiss-based logistics company founded in 1904. It specialized in freight forwarding and supply chain management, operating globally. The company offered services in air freight, ocean freight, and logistics solutions, including warehousing, distribution, and customs clearance. Panalpina had a significant presence in major markets worldwide, serving a diverse range of industries.

Throughout its history, Panalpina underwent several ownership changes and strategic developments. In the early 2000s, it faced legal challenges related to its tax practices. The company’s operational focus was on providing integrated logistics solutions to facilitate international trade and optimize supply chains for its customers.

In 2019, Panalpina was acquired by DSV, a Danish transport and logistics company. Following the acquisition, the Panalpina brand was gradually integrated into DSV’s global network. The combined entity became one of the largest logistics providers in the world. The acquisition aimed to create a more comprehensive service offering and expand market reach. While the Panalpina name is no longer used as a standalone brand, its legacy is part of the expanded DSV organization.
