KUEHNE+NAGEL Establishes 3PL Operations in Umeå

Kuehne+Nagel continues its expansion by opening a 10,000 m2 3PL warehouse in Umeå. The connection to shipping and access to efficient railway connections were aspects in choosing Umeå port for this establishment.

- We believe that Umeå and the strategic location we have chosen for our new warehouse operations will strengthen our relationship with our customers. With a complete range of value-added services in our warehouse, combined with proximity to the port and the railway connections offered to southern Sweden, we can offer sustainable and efficient supply chain solutions that cater to our customers' diverse needs, says Helgi Ingólfsson, CEO of Kuehne+Nagel Sweden.

- This is very beneficial for the Umeå region. It represents an increase in volume for us while bringing another customer to the port. The port's role as a logistics and service node is further strengthened. Kuehne+Nagel's strong brand, international presence, and expertise in logistics will bring increased customer value and benefit to the entire area, says Christer Nederstedt, Sales and Marketing Manager at Kvarken Ports Ltd, which is responsible for the port’s operations in the port of Umeå and the port of Vaasa.
