INTEGRATED LOGISTICS FOR CHINA

Chinaupdate_1001 Kopie 2:Layout 1 30.01.2012 19:10 Uhr Seite 2

China has seen exponential growth in recent years as

both a producer and a consumer. Coupled with its large

and expanding population, China is now one of the most

important and fastest growing markets in the world.

Kuehne + Nagel has had a presence in mainland China

since 1979, building on our even earlier entry into Hong

Kong. Throughout this time, we have striven to enhance

our network and improve our understanding of the

Chinese market. This prolonged dedication led to Kuehne

+ Nagel being the first global logistics provider to be

awarded a Class A Forwarder’s Licence in 2004.

Since reaching this milestone we have been able to

operate independently within the country, making us

the most experienced international provider of a fully

integrated range of logistics services.

As China continues to grow, so does its need for sophisti-

cated logistics solutions. New businesses and markets in

the west of the country require the support of a logistics

company to match this expansion. Kuehne + Nagel has

invested in its geographical network and product portfolio,

creating new locations and enhanced services to support

these new opportunities.

Our people

Kuehne + Nagel has more than 3,000 professionals in

China, and will continue to expand its workforce as the

blend of expertise within the Kuehne + Nagel workforce:

a combination of Chinese specialists with deep local

market knowledge and non-Chinese experts with priceless

international experience.

To ensure that our customers’ needs are always met, we

implement a rigorous recruitment process, and are strong

advocates of training and continuous professional develop-

ment. Our in-house training centres work hard to empower

our employees with the knowledge and the confidence to

meet the demanding challenges of global logistics.

Our commitment to China

Kuehne + Nagel is more than just a business. We take

seriously our community responsibilities. For many years,

Kuehne + Nagel China has supported a range of positive

community development projects, typically relating to

education and the environment. The Kuehne + Nagel

Hope Schools in Yunnan and Jiangxi provinces were estab-

lished in 2002 and 2009 respectively, and are actively

supported. As the world leading logistics provider, we are

proud to promote the training and education of the next

generation of logistics professionals, and to share our

expertise.

CHINA – EXTENSIVE NET WORK

Currently, Kuehne + Nagel China operates from

35 cities across the country. In line with its vigorous

growth strategy, the company is rapidly expanding

its service network in China to more than 40 cities

by the end of 2012.


An example of this commitment is found in the growing

automotive market in China, where we have developed

a specialist centre to cater for its individual needs. Using

our experience as an international automotive logistics

provider we have brought world-leading expertise and

solutions to the developing automotive industry in China.

We could not have become one of the global market

leaders in airfreight without offering the market

comprehensive solutions and unbeatable levels of

customer service. Through our global network of more

than 300 offices, we provide a range of logistics pro-

ducts designed to meet even the toughest challenges of

our customers. Our fixed-capacity arrangements with

prime carriers provide reliability and flexibility, while our

standardised operating and IT systems ensure that every

one of the near 60,000 shipments we move each week

gets the same quality service.

Automotive Solution Centre for China

No two customers of Kuehne + Nagel have the same

needs, and so it is of paramount importance to us

that we can provide flexible and customised solutions.

This philosophy is reflected in our business model

that designs operations and products around specific

industries, rather than adopting a ‘one size fits all’

approach.
