Kuehne + Nagel offers road services into Croatian region

REHAU, a worldwide brand for polymer-based innovations and systems in the construction and automotive industries, has chosen Kuehne + Nagel as its service provider for road logistics in Middle and Eastern Europe.

Under the agreement, the logistics service provider will manage full-truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) transport of all product lines from Rehau plants in Poland, France, Germany and Austria to Rehau's warehouse in Zagreb, Croatia.

Most goods will be PVC profiles for windows and doors, heating systems and other building products.

Kuehne + Nagel said in a statement that it has centralised its customer service for Rehau in order to "optimise efficiency and ensure dedicated distribution in Croatia."

As many of Rehau's customers do not own unloading lifts, Kuehne + Nagel will provide special trucks with lift cranes for the direct delivery at customer sites all over the country.

"We are very satisfied as, during our collaboration, Kuehne + Nagel has always responded in a reliable, fast and easy way," said Sandra Bjelic, logistics manager at Rehau Croatia.

Said K+N eastern European business development chief Rainer Weeger: "The new business is an important milestone in our partnership with Rehau in Eastern Europe. By further strengthening our good relationship with the customer we have been able lately to also expand our cooperation in Bulgaria and in Austria."
