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
market grows. Our customers benefit from the unique
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.

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.
