Perishables
Temperature sensitive cargo, such as cut-flowers, plants, fish, meat and flower bulbs, needs to be handled according to specific requirements and with the highest care. We are committed to make sure your products will reach their final destination in the best possible condition.
We carefully monitor the shipments through every step on the journey, but can do more for our customers. Kuehne + Nagel offers a comprehensive international transportation concept for temperature sensitive cargo.
The limited shelf life of most perishable items dictate a just-in-time approach. Goods are collected just in time to make the flight and are collected immediately upon arrival at destination and delivered to the consignee.
