Denmark's DSV has signed a deal to buy German logistics firm Schenker, in a move that could make it the world's largest freight forwarder.
The firm will acquire Schenker from Germany's Deutsche Bahn for EUR 14.3 billion, it said in a statement on its website on Friday.
The combined company is expected to have revenues of around EUR 39.3 billion, based on 2023 results, and a workforce of about 147,000 employees in more than 90 countries.
