Kuehne+Nagel will expand its presence at Frankfurt Airport as it looks to better serve its air cargo customers in the healthcare, semiconductor, high tech and cloud infrastructure sectors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The forwarder has signed a lease deal with airport operator Fraport for a new 7,600 sq m facility in the airport\u2019s CargoCity South area, which will bring its total presence at the zone to more than 20,000 sq m.<\/p>\n

Fraport will oversee the construction of the new warehouse, which will remain part of its building inventory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe facility marks a strategic investment in Kuehne+Nagel\u2019s global air logistics network with the aim to strengthen air cargo connectivity across key international trade lanes,\u201d the company said in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt supports efficient cargo movements between the terminal and aircraft parking areas, reduces aircraft turnaround time for handling, and enables seamless transfers across Kuehne+Nagel\u2019s operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Completion and handover are set for the end of 2028.<\/p>\n

It has been awarded a German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) gold standard certification for environmental standards.<\/p>\n

The facility has LED lighting, heat pumps, EV charging stations, and smart metering. A large photovoltaic system will also be installed on the roof to generate renewable energy for the airport grid.<\/p>\n

Martin Schaefer, senior vice president air logistics, Germany, at Kuehne+Nagel, said: \u201cFrankfurt is a key global gateway in the Kuehne+Nagel air logistics network. As supply chains become more dynamic, our new cargo facility provides the infrastructure, capacity, and connectivity needed to support our growth ambitions and keep goods moving. This enables us to better serve customers in fast-growing sectors like healthcare, semiconductor, high tech, and cloud infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new facility is a key component of Fraport\u2019s strategy to grow in the air cargo market.<\/p>\n

As part of this strategy, Fraport has developed its CargoHub masterplan, aimed at further strengthening the location over the coming years.<\/p>\n

The masterplan comprises three key initiatives: space optimisation, space development, and digitalisation and process innovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough these measures, Fraport is working to sustainably develop the FRA cargo hub to meet growing demand,\u201d the airport said. \u201cThis will ensure that partners and customers in Frankfurt continue to benefit from optimal growth conditions \u2013 including high connectivity, modern infrastructure, and efficient processes.\u201d<\/p>\n
