Kuehne + Nagel: new regional structure

Kuehne + Nagel to merge three organisational units in Europe; "East Europe" region with head office in Vienna remains unchanged
 
As a first measure of a comprehensive program for increases in efficiency, the globally operating logistics group Kuehne + Nagel optimises its regional structure as of July 1, 2013. In Europe, Kuehne + Nagel will merge the current organisational units "Central Europe", "North West Europe" and "Southwest Europe" into one single region  West Europe . The regional management and headquarters will be based in Hamburg. The region "East Europe" with head office in Vienna remains unchanged.
 
In view of the growing trades between Africa and the Middle East, the regional units "Middle East/Central Asia" and "Africa" will be consolidated. The management of the new region "Middle East/Africa" will be headquartered in Dubai.
 
In order to maximise business opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region, two regional teams will be established. The national companies China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau will belong to the region  North Asia  as of July 1, 2013, with headquarters in Shanghai. The region  South Asia  will consist of South Asian countries, South Korea and Japan and will be headquartered in Singapore. The structures in the regions North and South America will remain unchanged.
 
"Our new regional structure shortens decision-making processes on the one hand and allows on the other to respond more quickly to new market conditions and opportunities,  said Reinhard Lange, CEO of Kuehne + Nagel International AG.  Furthermore, the lean management approach supports a more efficient use of our resources and cost optimisation,  adds Karl Gernandt, Chairman of Kuehne + Nagel International AG.
