Kuehne + Nagel is a global transportation and logistics company, based in Schindellegi in the canton of Schwyz in Switzerland.
August Kühne and Friedrich Nagel founded the forwarding and commissioning business in 1890 in Bremen, Germany, concentrating on cotton and consolidated freight, and until the mid-twentieth century operated nearly exclusively in the seaports of Germany. In the early 50s, Alfred Kühne initiated the company's international expansion, and first offices were opened in Canada, followed by the Benelux region, and soon thereafter the Middle East. As of the mid-1960s, Klaus-Michael Kühne - following in his grandfather's and father's footsteps - continued with the expansion of the company's network and scope of services and products.
The Group employs approximately 61,500 people in 900 offices in more than 100 countries and has approximately 7 million sqm of warehouse space under management.
