Swiss freight forwarder Kuehne + Nagel has opened a new distribution center in Cartagena.
The new facility has 10,000 square meters of warehouse space and 11,000 pallet positions at the Contecar complex at Cartagena, a key transshipment in northern South America. The site can be expanded to 20,000 square meters and is intended to serve as K+N’s regional hub in South America.
K+N entered Colombia in 1988 and now operates eight branch offices in the country. In January, the company acquired two Colombian companies, Translago S.A.S. and Agencia de Aduanas Excelsia Ltda., which specialize in perishables logistics.
