• Expansion of logistics operations to helicopter spare parts
• Next step in a successful twenty-year partnership
Kuehne+Nagel strengthens its collaboration with Airbus through the renewal of an agreement for the logistics of production and storage sites across Spain. In addition, the partnership expands for the first time to helicopter maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) activities.
The operations cover in-plant logistics, inter-site transport services, warehouse-to-line deliveries, supply fulfilment centre operations, and spare parts management. Over 900 employees of Kuehne+Nagel are operating from 16 sites distributed across Albacete, Cádiz, Madrid, Sevilla, Toledo, and Zaragoza.
Kuehne+Nagel has invested in technologies enhancing operational efficiency and traceability, starting with a proprietary warehouse management system, robotics, a small-part element control system using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), and IoT (Internet of Things) applications. Sustainability is also a key focus, with initiatives in place to reduce cardboard and plastic usage across the supply chain. (....)
