Switzerland-based forwarder Kuehne + Nagel (K + N) has inaugurated a regional control center in Singapore to strengthen its end-to-end logistics services and infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific.

The Singapore logistics control center (LCC) was opened officially at the beginning of this month, raising the company’s logistics control centers to seven locations across the globe that are responsible for developing and managing integrated logistics services across key markets.
