Kuehne+Nagel enhances its groupage network in Europe with new depot in Italy

Kuehne+Nagel has launched a new strategic depot in Turin, Italy, which is the latest addition to its European groupage network.

“Groupage is a service that allows customers to book road freight services for shipments of up to 6 pallets or 2.4 loading meters, which are then grouped with other consignments to optimise truck capacity,” explains the company in its announcement.

Kuehne+Nagel believes the Turin depot is important for improving communication between Italy and France, and thereby the Iberian countries, while it has excellent connections to the economically significant areas of Liguria, Piemonte, and Valle d’Aosta in Italy.

The new depot facilitates line haul optimisation and reduces lead times from these areas to France and Western Europe as well as to the Iberian countries, according to the company’s statement.

Earlier this year Kuehne+Nagel also opened new cross-docks in Poland and Romania.

“A future-proof groupage setup requires the right network developments in the right place at the right time. As part of the Roadmap 2026, the ambition is to offer the best Kuehne+Nagel Experience. Investing in a more robust pan-European groupage network is needed to get there, so we can keep offering more competitive lead times. At the same time, we stay flexible with our asset-light setup to handle fluctuating volumes viably,” commented Nicholas Minde, Kuehne+Nagel’s regional head of Road Logistics Europe.
