Kuehne+Nagel (K+N) has opened its third Asia Pacific Transport Operation Centre (TOC) in India. The centre is located at K+N India’s national office in Gurugram and has been established to provide a centralised approach for pan-India distribution management.
The TOC facilitates a comprehensive view of the supply chain network in order to streamline operations, increase efficiency and ultimately reduce costs through a tactical planning process.
Speaking at the inauguration, Coen van der Maarel, Managing Director, Kuehne+Nagel India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives said, “We are pleased to announce the opening of our third Transport Operations Center in Asia Pacific as part of Kuehne+Nagel’s contract logistics service. Our ambition for Kuehne+Nagel is to continue our investments in India that will allow us to support all our customers, regardless of industry, in the overhaul of their supply chain. The Transport Operation Centre, supported by Kuehne Nagel Contract Logistics team, places Kuehne+Nagel more than ever at the heart of the country’s economic development.”
”It is our intention to bring all existing customers on-board while also offering this service to new customers. Our transport operation centre will not only optimise transport but also focus on enhacing safety and compliance,” said Pankaj Dubey, Country Head- Contract Logistics, K+N India.
