In cooperation with the LOS INKAS group of companies, which is headquartered in

The Joint Venture will offer integrated forwarding and logistics services to
its Customers in the region, with special emphasis on air freight, ocean
freight and project forwarding. 

The Joint Venture will benefit from the local knowledge and expertise of LOS
INKAS, combined with the global network coverage of DSV Air & Sea which
operates in 55 countries world wide. 

In Chile, where both partners operate own offices as GOLDENLOGISTICS and ABX
Logistics respectively, the organizations will be merged as of April 1st. In
Perú the Joint Venture will be based on the existing GOLDENLOGISTICS set-up and
in Argentina, where ABX Logistics for years have had their own operation, the
Joint Venture will start through a new company. 

Plans already exist for the opening of DSV-GL in other countries within LATAM,
in particular for Venezuela where ABX Logistics has been present for many years
is scheduled to be next in line.

Partner in LATAM significantly strengthens our position and capabilities in
that Region“ , said Jorgen Moller, CEO of DSV Air & Sea.
