Dachser New Zealand strengthens German-New Zealand business ties through GNZCC Oktoberfest partnership

Taking place on October 15, 2026, GNZCC Oktoberfest will bring together businesses, partners, and industry professionals to celebrate German culture and the longstanding economic relationship between Germany and New Zealand.

"Germany and New Zealand share strong trade and business ties, and the European Union (EU)–New Zealand Free Trade Agreement is creating even more opportunities for companies operating across both markets," said Tom Pritchard, Country Manager, Dachser Air & Sea Logistics New Zealand.

"Our partnership with the GNZCC and Oktoberfest 2026 reflects Dachser's commitment to building strong relationships in New Zealand. It also gives us an opportunity to connect with businesses that are looking for reliable, internationally connected logistics support."

Dachser operates in Auckland and Wellington, providing air and sea freight and integrated supply chain solutions to customers across New Zealand. The company supports importers and exporters in managing international shipments, customs requirements, and supply chain visibility, while connecting businesses with key markets across Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Backed by more than 95 years of logistics experience, its European road logistics network and a global air & sea logistics network, Dachser combines international connectivity with local market knowledge. Its New Zealand team supports customers across industries.

"GNZCC Oktoberfest is an important platform for bringing together the German and New Zealand business communities in an informal and engaging setting," said Joerg Schmidt, CEO of German-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce. "We are delighted to welcome Dachser New Zealand as our Naming Sponsor for 2026. Dachser's international logistics expertise and commitment to supporting businesses across New Zealand will add valuable perspective to this year's event."
