Danzas was an international transport company with headquarters in Basel, Switzerland. Founded in 1806 in Saint-Louis (Alsace) and named after Louis Danzas (1788–1862) when he took over the company in 1840, the firm became a major player in international freight and logistics until its acquisition by Deutsche Post in 1999 (now known as DHL Global Forwarding).
