KUEHNE & NAGEL TEAMS WITH RUBBERPOOL.DE
Kuehne & Nagel International, based in Schindellegi, Switzerland, said Wednesday that it had “entered a cooperation” with RubberPool.de, an Internet trader in Hamburg, to do more e-commerce across Europe.
The large Swiss sea-freight company, which has been cautiously studying dot-com start-ups, will now aggressively go after customers who order goods and services in the “virtual” marketplace.
If the alliance with RubberPool.de prospers, K&N may further widen its online presence. “We hope to expand the company’s e-commerce offers through partners in Japan and South America,” said Tobias Jerschke, K&N’s manager of corporate development.
