In order to take on an even stronger role in logistics around Asia, the company has decided to concentrate its strengths and to combine its two Asian organisations into one strong entity. With immediate effect, the new Asia Pacific region, which comprises about 10,000 professionals, will be headquartered in Singapore. The two current regional managers, namely Jens Drewes and Siew Loong Wong, will jointly lead the ambitious development of Kuehne + Nagel in the Asia Pacific region.
Dr Joerg Wolle, Chairman of the Board of Directors Kuehne + Nagel International, commented. "Kuehne + Nagel has shown great success all over Asia Pacific in recent years and has built up an already strong position in this remarkable region of the world. We strongly believe that Asia Pacific will be the driver of the global economic development in the years to come."
