Kuehne + Nagel is on a recruit drive to meet an ambitious growth target in the Pearl River Delta
AWARD-WINNING logistics giant Kuehne + Nagel is on a long-term recruitment drive in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta as it targets double-digit growth well above the market average.
The Swiss-owned group, which leads the market in global sea freight, and ranks third in contract logistics and fourth in global airfreight, has 'ambitious targets for further development', according to Joerg Bull, managing director for Hong Kong, Macau and South China.
'Our business is booming with double-digit growth in the wake of China joining the World Trade Organisation, and South China, in particular, becoming the world's manufacturing powerhouse,' Mr Bull said.
He oversees a workforce of 800 in Hong Kong and South China, where the firm has logistics facilities in Shenzhen, Guangzhou and the port of Yantian, with sales offices in Dongguan and Zhongshan, and plans to extend operations to Nansha.
But Kuehne + Nagel is committed to capturing a higher market share and seeks candidates experienced in operations, sales and account management for many multinational customers with regional head offices in Hong Kong.
