      Thanks for your comment, Alexander. I replied in another thread on this topic: as matter of fact, despite its strong German heritage (as widely acknowledged over the years by Premium; its German matrix, ownership etc), K+N is based in Switzerland. To call it a German forwarder would be wrong. Same story on the carrier side with Geneva-based MSC, and its Italian DNA, as you prob know. Best regards, Ale.
