DSV A/S is a Danish freight and logistics company that moves goods around the world for businesses. It operates three main divisions: air freight, sea freight, and road transport. Its customers include manufacturers, retailers, and other companies that need to ship products across countries and continents. DSV is one of the largest freight forwarding companies in the world.

DSV makes money by acting as a middleman — it books space on planes, ships, and trucks, then charges customers more than it pays for that space. The company operates in over 80 countries and generates hundreds of billions of Danish kroner in annual revenue. Its scale gives it negotiating power with carriers, which is a key competitive advantage. DSV has grown largely through acquisitions, including the purchase of Schenker from Deutsche Bahn, and integrating that large deal successfully while managing freight rate volatility remains the central challenge and opportunity ahead.
