Kuehne+Nagel, a worldwide logistics company, revealed information about a new contract logistics fulfilment centre in Piscataway, New Jersey. This new establishment, covering an area of 100,000 sq ft, is positioned roughly two miles away from Kuehne+Nagel’s current site catering to a luxury retail brand.
The establishment is set up to support a new fashion client and offers about 55,000 sq ft of additional space. Its location near John F. Kennedy International Airport and Port Elizabeth, as well as one of the leading consumer markets for fashion in the United States might be advantageous. The facility utilises automation and robotics for picking and storing items that might help to improve efficiency in fulfilment operations. Additionally, it is equipped with EV (electric vehicle) charging stations and LED lighting.
Eduardo Razuck, Senior Vice President, Contract Logistics Americas for Kuehne+Nagel, commented, “We are pleased to inaugurate this new site, marking a significant achievement for Kuehne+Nagel’s contract logistics business in North America and supporting the company’s Roadmap 2026 goals to advance e-commerce business solutions.” He further added, “Our investment in a new distribution centre in Piscataway, NJ, caters to our luxury and fashion clients, allowing them to concentrate on their primary objectives – strengthening their brands in the USA market and supporting their consumers.”
The facility is set to commence operations in late-April 2024, creating approximately 50 new employment opportunities in the vicinity.
