ONE of the world's leading forwarders Swiss-based Kuehne + Nagel has announced its intention to accelerate development in Asia Pacific with a consolidated headquarters in Singapore.
'Following the successful combination of the former three European regions into one Europe, the significant growth and successful integration of three major acquisitions in the North America region, the focus for the years to come is on Asia Pacific,' said the K+N statement.
In order to target an even stronger role in logistics all over Asia, the company has decided to concentrate strengths and to combine its so far two Asian organisations into one strong region, it said.
With immediate effect, the new Asia Pacific region with about 10,000 professionals will be headquartered in Singapore. The two current regional managers Jens Drewes and Siew Loong Wong will jointly lead Asia Pacific development.
Said Kuehne + Nagel International chairman Joerg Wolle: 'We strongly believe that Asia Pacific will be the driver of the global economic development in the years to come. The joint leadership of the region by two proven executives will prepare the ground for a new dimension of organic and inorganic growth of our networks.'
