Performance Spectrum

Kuehne + Nagel India was founded in 1997. Well-established inmore than 31 locations, the company offers integrated logistics services of outstanding quality. In addition to seafreight and airfreight capabilities, which have dynamically increased over the years, Kuehne + Nagel India has continuously expanded its product portfolio, in corporating contract and lead logistics, overland transport and project management. Recently, industry-specific concepts have been introduced to provide added value for customers in the automotive, high-tech, pharmaceutical and healthcare markets. In addition, in India, the company specialises in several niche sectors, including hotel and aviation logistics, as well as emergency and relief logistics.

In India the company has established and maintained collaborative and progressive customer relationships. By leveraging on its parent's standardised processes and technology, it has offered integrated and value-added supply chain solutions for its customers. By regularly reviewing and adjusting its processes to be globally efficient, yet locally accountable, it has endeavoured in meeting domestic market requirements, as well as the business traditions and customs that underpin its long-term success.

Standardised global practices, matched by flexibility and robustness to meet local needs and compliance criteria, have been the guiding element in its operational strategy. In order to reduce logistics costs and focus on core competencies, Indian companies across verticals are now increasingly seeking and using the services of third-party logistics service providers. Realising the potential in the contract logistics market, these service providers are expanding their basket of services as companies are now looking for more than just transportation of their products and raw materials.

Kuehne + Nagel maintains the highest quality, safety, health, environment and security standards through its QSHE programme. The corporate QSHE Statement, which outlines the company's commitment to such issues, is binding on every employee across the Group's business units and functional fields, around the world. This commitment has been at the centre of Kuehne + Nagel India's business policy, allowing it to offer consistently high quality services across all its operations. Though QSHE is administered globally, national and local quality managers responsible for implementation and compliance with established business field and unit policies and procedures have contributed significantly to its performance in India.
