Kuehne+Nagel, a FEDA associate member that provides logistics services, is streamlining its operations by discontinuing its regional management levels in favor of direct reporting by its country organizations.
The change was recently approved by the Kuehne+Nagel board of directors to facilitate further efficiency gains and profitable growth. By simplifying responsibilities, the new structure will enable Kuehne+Nagel's business and functional units to sharpen their strategy in line with rapidly changing market developments and implement business decisions even faster, the company said. It will also ensure greater global consistency as well as customer proximity.
“With the discontinuation of the regional management levels, the Kuehne+Nagel Group is streamlining its organizational structure and creating the conditions for further efficiency gains, to be able to act even faster and more flexibly in an increasingly dynamic global trade environment,” said Joerg Wolle, chairman of Kuehne+Nagel International AG.
