DCG LOGISTICS LTD

What DCG LOGISTICS LTD does

DCG LOGISTICS LTD is a privately held international freight forwarder and third-party logistics provider founded in 2010 in Shenzhen, China, with the legal entity registered in the United Kingdom. The company operates an integrated logistics platform spanning six core service modules: sea freight (FCL/LCL), air freight, railway service (China-to-Europe), FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) cross-border e-commerce logistics, bonded warehousing (170,000+ sqm in the UK, Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium), and road transport (90+ self-owned trucks in the UK and Germany). Headcount stands at 850+ employees as of 2024, with 20 offices across China, Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia, supported by 300+ agency partners in nearly 80 countries.

Revenue is generated primarily through freight forwarding transaction fees (per-shipment charges based on volume, weight, and destination) and managed-services fees for warehousing, customs clearance, cargo consolidation, and distribution. DCG serves two principal customer segments: cross-border e-commerce businesses — particularly Amazon sellers using FBA — and traditional import/export companies moving goods between Asia, Europe, and North America. The company handled 200,000+ TEU in 2024 and moves approximately 13,000 CBM per week of e-commerce cargo from China to Europe and the US.

The technology layer is the DCG Smarter Supply Chain Application Dashboard, a proprietary digital platform that provides free client access to real-time shipment, container, and vessel tracking; document management; dynamic reporting by volume, origin/destination, carrier, and shipper; and account-sharing for customer teams. DCG maintains strategic partnerships with all major shipping alliances — including COSCO, Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, OOCL, Evergreen, and ZIM — to secure capacity and competitive pricing. The company is founder/management-owned with no disclosed venture capital, private equity investment, or public listing.
