Hilti and Kuehne + Nagel enter into strategic partnership
Kuehne + Nagel upgraded to strategic partner of Hilti Group Hilti, one of the world’s market leaders in providing technology to the global construction industry, has entered into strategic partnership with Kuehne + Nagel for the planning, implementation and management of their future logistics locations in Europe. A dedicated competence team of the provider of logistics services will support Hilti with upcoming projects for further optimisation and standardisation of logistics processes. Hilti expects the cooperation with only one partner to reduce coordination and management efforts, resulting from integrated logistics solutions from one source. The company is now able to concentrate on their core competence and on leveraging Kuehne + Nagel’s know-how, says Joachim Anna, Hilti’s Head of Logistics Europe Central. “We see further advantages in standardised controlling and reporting with visualisations”, adds Heinrich Becker, Hilti’s Head of European Logistics Management. The cooperation between the Liechtenstein-based corporate group and Kuehne + Nagel started in December 2007 with the construction of the new Hilti logistics centre in Nuremberg. This project, which was planned, implemented and is now managed by the Stute Verkehrs-GmbH, a fully-owned subsidiary of the Kuehne + Nagel Group, laid the foundations for the realignment of Hilti’s logistics processes in Europe.
