Effective from 1 February 2007
Kuehne + Nagel has bought the book business of Speditøren A/S, one of Norway’s leading customs clearance
specialists.

The acquisition of the book of business of Speditøren A/S will allow Kuehne + Nagel to strengthen its competence in customs clearance in Norway. The company will now be able to offer in-house customs clearance expertise, and thus create a more streamlined service to customers.

Kuehne + Nagel is able to offer in Norway and reinforces our position as a preferred partner of choice for integrated logistics solutions.”
