Read MoreWith the opening of a branch in Kaliningrad and an airfreight office at Moscow Domodedovo International Airport, Kuehne + Nagel is continuing its expansion course in Russia.
Kaliningrad is an important import route into mainland Russia. With its yearround ice free port, the exclave offers interesting logistics potential. Kuehne + Nagel’s new branch office will initially focus on offering seafreight services. In the course of next year, the portfolio will be expanded to include overland, warehousing and airfreight solutions.
Kuehne + Nagel has also opened a new airfreight office at Moscow Domodedovo (DME), the country’s largest and most important airport. Located on the premises of the cargo terminal, customers are offered the full scope of airfreight import, export and transit services, including Kuehne + Nagel’s new Cargo 2000 based airfreight products, as well as comprehensive customs services.
Clemens Abt, Regional Manager North East Europe and Managing Director of Kuehne + Nagel in Russia: “The opening of these two new locations is a further step in our strategy of establishing a logistics network across Russia to ever better support our customers in developing this dynamic market.”
