Kuehne + Nagel has opened a new office in Chiang Mai to provide greater integrated logistics services in Thailand, especially in the high-tech and perishables industry segments.

Chiang Mai in northern Thailand is the country’s second largest city, with a high concentration of consumer electronics manufacturers. It is also home to the country’s flowers exporters.

“The opening is an important step in the development of Kuehne + Nagel in Thailand. With the network stretching to Chiang Mai, we are able to further enhance our service levels for our customers through closer local contacts,” said Pascal Martin, managing director of Kuehne + Nagel Thailand.

The new Chiang Mai office is located in the city’s central district with fast access to all major infrastructure facilities.

The Kuehne + Nagel group is one of the world’s leading logistics companies, involved in seafreight, airfreight, contract logistics, and overland businesses, with focus on IT-based lead logistics services.

In Thailand, Kuehne + Nagel operates offices in Bangkok, Laem Chabang, Phuket and Chiang Mai and employs around 400 people.
