Kuehne + Nagel to provide global logistics services for Alibaba customers

Kuehne + Nagel has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Alibaba to offer global logistics services to the Chinese online retailer’s customers. In a statement issued on Wednesday (12 April), Kuehne + Nagel said: “Since more than a year, Alibaba.com’s paid members in China have been able to instantly obtain quotations, book pickup and destination delivery services for airfreight consignments via Kuehne + Nagel’s digital solution KN FreightNet on Alibaba.com. The e-commerce relationship has already been extended to include less-than-container-load (LCL) solutions as well.

“Now, the strategic partnership will draw closer cooperation between the e-commerce giant and Kuehne + Nagel with intent to expand the scope of logistics services on offer in the near future to cover the various modes of transportation (air, sea, rail, overland) and contract logistics outside China.”
