Kuehne+Nagel has opened a new 2,000 sqm GDP-compliant cross-dock facility in Budapest, Hungary, further strengthening its healthcare logistics network in Europe. This state-of-the-art facility will serve as a key hub for less-than-truckload (LTL) services for healthcare customers, complementing the existing hub in Luxembourg.
With two dedicated healthcare cross-docks strategically located for pan-European distribution, Kuehne+Nagel can optimize routings and reduce lead times for its customers. The Budapest hub offers highly secure and temperature-controlled environments, with dedicated areas for 2-8°C and 15-25°C storage, ensuring the integrity of sensitive healthcare products.
This expansion will significantly enhance collection and distribution services across Hungary and its neighbouring countries, including Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Romania, Greece, and Bulgaria.
“Due to the sensitive and highly regulated nature of healthcare goods, businesses were initially hesitant to shift from full-truckload (FTL) to LTL services,” says Joerg Woyke, Global Head of Healthcare Road Logistics at Kuehne+Nagel. “We have earned their trust by demonstrating that our LTL services meet the same rigorous quality standards while offering cost-efficiency and reduced carbon emissions. As the demand for these services grows, we are strengthening our network, enabling customers to benefit from even shorter lead times.”
Developing solutions for healthcare customers is a strategic focus of Kuehne+Nagel’s Roadmap 2026. The launch of the Budapest hub is part of a broader initiative aimed at optimizing the road freight network in Europe to meet the growing demand for high-quality and efficient transportation of healthcare shipments.
