Kuehne+Nagel has initiated the road transport of medical technology devices as part of its European offerings. This expansion addresses the growing demand for logistics services that ensure high levels of safety and quality for high-value medical and diagnostic devices. This service is now available in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy.
Kuehne+Nagel's new offering includes the transport of products with special handling within the company’s network. The MedTech competence centers have dedicated staff and offer centralized customer service to proactively manage any transport issues. K+N offers two variants: MedTech or MedTech+. Depending on the chosen option, customers can rely on regular shipment inspections, end-to-end visibility, and "white glove" deliveries, which include device installation and packaging material removal.
Joerg Woyke, Global Head of Road Logistics Healthcare at Kuehne+Nagel, stated, "What is remarkable is that customers can choose this service option for groupage shipments, as well as for LTL and FTL. We can ensure quality through targeted investments in security procedures, qualified personnel, and specially equipped sorting centers and stations. Even when GxP compliance is not required for medical devices, sensitive handling is of paramount importance."
