Kintetsu World Express and Kuehne & Nagel in strategic partnership

Kuehne & Nagel and Kintetsu World Express have entered into a strategic partnership in Latin American markets.

Effective October 1, 2003, Kuehne & Nagel will assume the book of business of KWE’s affiliated companies in Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, and Mexico.

Kuehne & Nagel will serve as KWE’s exclusive handling agent for both sea- and airfreight as well as customs clearance. KWE’s sales and marketing representatives will continue to operate in their respective countries.

This partnership will benefit both sides through the realisation of synergies, the expansion of services and business opportunities and the broadening of the customer base.

The new collaboration is expected to be a first step to closer cooperation in other markets.
