Logistics company Kuehne + Nagel has strengthened its presence in Southeast Asia by buying Indonesian firm Wira Logisitcs.

The German firm wants to use the purchase to establish a nationwide logistics and distribution network, as well as fully integrated logistics solutions across Indonesia.

It pointed to Indonesia’s growing economy and middle class as the reason behind its investment in the country.

Indonesia’s import and export market is worth US$ 300 billion annually, and its population has grown in size and wealth this century, making it an “important consumer market for many companies”, according to Kuehne + Nagel.
