Global logistics firm Kuehne+Nagel has expanded its footprint in East Africa with the opening of a new office in Nairobi, Kenya. The move is part of the company’s broader growth strategy for the region.
The newly unveiled facility covers about 2,500 square meters and will house over 85 Kuehne+Nagel employees, alongside around 65 clients and partners. It sits next to the company’s current 2,100-square-meter office, effectively doubling its operational space in the area.
Yngve Ruud, Executive Vice President for Air Logistics and a member of Kuehne+Nagel’s management board, welcomed the development as a key milestone. “Opening this new office is a proud moment that underscores our continued growth in Kenya and the broader East African market. We’ve seen especially strong momentum in sectors like fresh flower exports and other perishables,” he said.
Myles Hechle, Managing Director for Kuehne+Nagel’s East Africa Cluster, noted that the location and expertise of the team have been central to the company’s progress. “Being close to the airport, having a skilled and experienced team, and nurturing strong relationships with customers have all played a critical role in our success. We’re eager to build on this momentum,” he added.
The expansion marks a clear investment in Kenya’s logistics sector, with a particular focus on handling temperature-sensitive cargo such as horticultural exports, further cementing the company’s role in the region’s supply chain for perishables.
