Kuehne + Nagel has entered into an agreement to take over Amsterdam-based J van de Put Fresh Cargo Handling.
The acquisition of the Dutch handling agent for perishable goods will enable Kuehne + Nagel to further enhance its global fresh-to-door concept.
Located at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, J van de Put specialises in handling perishables for import and export via airfreight, and provides a full range of services, including vacuum cooling, temperature-controlled storage, customs clearing and inspections as well as delivery and distribution across Europe.
"This acquisition follows our global expansion strategy in the field of perishables logistics," said Kuehne + Nagel’s chairman Karl Gernandt.
Moniek van de Put added that joining Kuehne + Nagel secures the future of the business: "Our strong position in the perishables market and our unique location at Amsterdam Airport suits Kuehne + Nagel very well. Together, we are a strong team to provide first class services to our customers."
The transaction is subject to approval of the relevant competition authorities.
