Global logistics company Kuehne+Nagel has inaugurated a new office building in Nairobi, Kenya, as part of its ongoing expansion in East Africa.
The newly opened facility offers approximately 2,500 square metres of contemporary office space and is set to accommodate more than 85 Kuehne+Nagel staff members, along with around 65 partners and clients. The new premises sit adjacent to the company’s existing 2,100-square-metre office, enhancing its operational footprint in the region.
Room for growth
Yngve Ruud, who serves as Executive Vice President for Air Logistics and is a member of the company’s board, described the launch as a major achievement: “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.”
Echoing the sentiment, Myles Hechle, Managing Director for the East Africa Cluster, emphasized the office’s location and team strengths: “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.”
The expansion highlights Kuehne+Nagel’s strategic investment in Kenya, reinforcing its commitment to key logistics sectors—particularly air freight for temperature-sensitive goods, such as horticultural exports.
