The Swiss-based third-party logistics provider will work with e-commerce firm 4SELLERS to provide storage capacity and fulfillment services to medium-sized enterprises, the two companies said in a joint statement.
Third-party logistics provider Kuehne + Nagel and e-commerce provider 4SELLERS have agreed to cooperate on fulfillment services, including storage capacity, the receipt and storage of goods, as well as their picking, packing and handover to transport service providers for delivery to end customers.
The partnership will target growing medium-sized enterprises, which benefit from standardized services and prices, the two companies said in a joint announcement. Deliveries will be possible within Germany and abroad.
“It takes strength and power to implement visions in the field of e-Commerce. We are delighted to have such a strong partner, which can ensure great reliability and constancy even in the B2C sector and at peak delivery times,” said 4SELLERS CEO Christian Meier. “With sites in over 100 countries, Kuehne + Nagel also acts as the perfect platform for growing retailers to expand their international business operations. 4SELLERS aims to grow with its customers. The partnership with Kuehne + Nagel marks a further milestone in the attainment of this goal.”
Matthias Weiner, member of the managing board of Kuehne + Nagel Germany responsible for Contract Logistics, stated that, “e-Commerce fulfillment has been an important growth driver for Kuehne + Nagel for many years. We are not only working with the world’s leading companies, but also focussing on small and medium-sized enterprises. The partnership with 4SELLERS is therefore of great strategic importance to us. Our aim is to increase our market share in this segment, too.”
Kuehne + Nagel will specifically provide storage capacity throughout Germany to ensure that goods and shipments are processed in close proximity to the end customers and have short delivery routes and processing periods.
