Inpark is building an international logistics warehouse base for Kuehne + Nagel in Páty, Pest county. As one of the world's leading logistics service providers, the new unit of the company, to be established by the existing one, will supply 20 countries in the region as a partner of an automotive supplier. The accessibility and level of development of the Hungarian motorway network played a key role in the choice of the location.

The customer is the Kuehne + Nagel Group, a leading global logistics company and a market leader in Hungary, which will provide wide-ranging logistics services to a global automotive company. The auto parts distribution centre in Páty is the first project of Inpark, considered to be its reference investment. The investment – valued at approximately EUR 16 million – is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2017.

Kuehne + Nagel will directly create 160 new jobs in 2017, and it is planning to expand its staff during the next three years.
