Kuehne + Nagel contracted to provide road logistics services in Middle and Eastern Europe for Rehau, a manufacturer of polymer-based innovations and systems in construction and the automotive industry.
Under the agreement, K+N will manage truckload and less-than-truckload transport of all product lines from Rehau plants in Poland, France, Germany and Austria to Rehau’s warehouse in Zagreb, Croatia. The majority of the goods transported are PVC profiles for windows and doors, heating systems and other building products. Kuehne + Nagel provides 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. “The positive experience we have made with Kuehne + Nagel can be transferred to other nearby Rehau organisations in South East Europe. Therefore an extension of our partnership in other countries is very likely.”
“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,” said Rainer Weeger, responsible for business development at Kuehne + Nagel Eastern Europe.
