Kerry Logistics expands into Europe
Hong Kong-based Kerry Logistics Network is establishing a pan European presence with the opening of initial offices in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Headquartered in Hamburg, Kerry Logistics GmbH began operations in eight locations across Germany, Austria and Switzerland on September 1st.
According to Kerry’s managing director responsible for Germany and Central & Eastern Europe, Michael Dieckmann, while Kerry Logistics has a very strong heritage in China and Asia, it has also been rapidly establishing a global footprint with well established businesses in the UK, Spain and Australia.
With more than 700 operating licences in China alone, Kerry Logistics has operations in 260 cities in the Asia-Pacific region, and its global network covers six continents.
Aside from a range of China distribution centres for general cargo, specialised facilities also handle bonded cargo, dangerous goods, temperature-controlled and perishable goods plus an increasing fleet of vehicles.
According to Dieckmann, further expansion over the next two years will include other German language countries and the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland.
