Kuehne+Nagel International (ISIN CH0025238863) stock was trading at EUR 241.85 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026, while the SIX reference price of CHF 224.30 stood 3.65 percent below its 52-week high of CHF 232.80. On October 1, 2026, Kuehne+Nagel announced the opening of a new Tech Centre in Chennai, India, with 250 experts planned by early 2027.
Chennai adds 250 technology specialists
The Chennai facility expands Kuehne+Nagel's engineering footprint and will support SALOG, its digital forwarding platform for sea and air freight. The company is working with Accenture to build the workforce, linking the new center to a wider technology strategy rather than treating it as a standalone office.
The project adds a measurable operating footprint to the logistics group's digital push. Kuehne+Nagel says its network includes 88,000 employees, more than 1,300 sites and close to 100 countries, with about 400,000 customers served globally, according to the October 1 release.
Second-quarter EBIT rose 6.00 percent
The latest reported operating figures provide the financial counterweight to the technology announcement. In the second quarter of 2026, recurring EBIT rose 6.00 percent year over year to CHF 381 million, while recurring group earnings per share increased 6.00 percent year over year, according to Yahoo Finance on July 23, 2026.
Management also lifted full-year 2026 recurring EBIT guidance to CHF 1.35 billion-CHF 1.55 billion. The range is important because the Chennai investment is being judged against a business already emphasizing productivity, cost control and higher-value digital services.
