Investment in its air and sea freight forwarding business strengthens the company’s presence in North America
Global logistics provider Dachser has entered into a strategic partnership with Synergie Canada. The agreement covers the acquisition of a 10-percent-minority-share in the Canadian logistics provider.
In 2025, Synergie Canada generated revenue of approximately EUR 60 million with a workforce of about 100 employees. Founded in 2008 and based near Montreal, Quebec, the company specializes 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. The company has been named one of Canada’s “Best Managed Companies” on multiple occasions.
“Canada is a highly attractive market for a global logistics provider like Dachser. As one of the seven leading industrialized nations, the Canadian economy is closely linked to the economies of the Americas, as well as our target markets in Europe,” explains Dr. Tobias Burger, COO Air & Sea Logistics at Dachser. “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.”
“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,” says 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.”
