K+N bags a two year Henkel contract

Henkel (China) Investment Co, a Fortune 500 company, has awarded Kuehne + Nagel a two-year contract.

The global logistics provider is managing the Shanghai warehousing operation for Henkel’s adhesives business.

To align its supply chain in China and to improve distribution, Henkel Adhesive Technologies decided to consolidate its warehousing activities in Shanghai. Kuehne + Nagel merges various exisiting facilities into one shared distribution centre in Shanghai’s Putuo District. The new 8,000 sqm building includes a designated area for temperature sensitive and dangerous goods and provides room for future extension.

Kuehne + Nagel’s comprehensive service package for Henkel consists of receiving goods, quality inspection, storage and picking & packing. In addition, the international logistics provider will be in charge of returns handling, as well as the shipment of full pallets, boxes and sales units.

The value added services for Henkel encompass re-packing and relabeling.
