Kuehne+Nagel launches new fulfilment centre in Luxembourg
Kuehne+Nagel expands its logistics footprint with the launch of its latest fulfilment centre in Contern, Luxembourg, comprising 34.000 m2 of warehousing space. Luxembourg is a strategic location for Kuehne+Nagel as it is in the centre of Europe with easy access to the continent’s most important consumer markets.
The opening ceremony was attended by Luxembourg’s Prime Minister, Xavier Bettel, Kuehne+Nagel’s Honorary Chairman, Klaus-Michael Kühne, and other political representatives. Marc Maurer of Swiss running gear brand On and Luc Provost of B Medical Systems, the CEOs of the two anchor customers of the new site, were also amongst the guests.
Klaus-Michael Kühne, chairman Kuehne+Nagel said, “Following a promising start 51 years ago, Kuehne+Nagel has been growing its multi-modal logistics solutions in Luxembourg continually and now further strengthens its function as a strategic contract logistics hub in Europe. This also underlines our confidence in the business location and the fruitful collaboration with the government of Luxembourg and the local authorities of Contern.”

From the Grand Duchy, Kuehne+Nagel meets the complex and dynamic supply chain needs of its customers through integrated value-added solutions – especially in the area of e-commerce fulfilment. This includes inventory management, picking, packing and shipping orders, managing returns, as well as value-added services.
Tobias Jerschke, managing director of Kuehne+Nagel BeLux, adds, “The new fulfilment centre perfectly complements our existing e-commerce hub in Belgium, securing fast end-to-end lead times. At the same time, the warehouse roofs perfectly lend themselves to the biggest photovoltaic installation to date by Enovos – Luxembourg’s main energy supplier. Supporting the green energy transition in the country underlines Kuehne+Nagel’s strong commitment to sustainability as part of its ambitious Net Zero Carbon targets.”
