Kuehne and Nagel has opened a new branch office in Chongqing, further extending its strong footprint in China to 39 locations.
So far, Kuehne and Nagel has been serving the Chongqing market
through its office in Chengdu. With the opening of the new location
the company is following the market trend to increasingly explore
opportunities made possible by moving inland.
Being the largest and most-populated municipality in China, Chongqing
enjoys continuous investment from industry and trade, which in turn
leads to ever-increasing demand for quality logistics services. From the
new premises, located at the central business district in close proximity
to the city's major infrastructure facilities, Kuehne + Nagel will focus on
providing international sea and air logistics services. In addition, it will
offer specialised solutions to support the automotive and industrial
goods and chemicals sectors, two of the main pillars of the city's
economic development.
"The new development strategically supports our expansion plan in
China. Staying close to our customers allows us to strengthen our
offerings and enhance our market position," comments Jens Drewes,
Country Manager of Kuehne + Nagel in Central and Northern China.
