Black & Decker has gained a valuable partner in enhancing its supply chain and competitive edge in the highly dynamic marketplace in Thailand,” commented Suebpong Panpruet, Vice President Sales Asia of Black & Decker (Thailand) Ltd.

The new shared facility, with an available warehousing space of 4,200 sqm, is conveniently located in close proximity to Bangkok’s seaport and international airport, featuring high-speed linkage with Laem Chabang, Thailand’s largest port located on the country’s eastern seaboard.

“We are delighted to be recognised as the preferred logistics provider for Black & Decker. The new site marks a further step in the expansion of our logistics network in Thailand, enhancing our ability to provide efficient logistics services from a single source,” said Jens Drewes, Managing Director of Kuehne + Nagel Ltd.
