Candy extends contract with Kuehne + Nagel

Candy Group, household appliance manufacturer, has awarded Kuehne + Nagel a new three-year contract to manage its supply chain.

Sidney Pinzani, Candy supply chain director, said: “We selected Kuehne + Nagel to be our partner due to its capability to perform a global effective control tower and due to the availability to understand and meet the customer needs, as we do.”

Kuehne + Nagel acts as a booking agent and controls operational activities from order issuance to final delivery all over Europe including Russia and Turkey.

The new contract governs the management of overseas shipment of finished product and, occasionally, of raw materials, components and spare parts, both by sea and air transport. In addition, Kuehne + Nagel manages all vendors, supplier and receivers via its operational control tower.
