ZURICH (Reuters) - Joern Schneemann thought he would be helping manage logistics for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics this year. Then, the COVID-19 crisis intervened, pushing the event back to 2021.
Instead, the head of Swiss logistics company Kuehne + Nagel s European Expo & Events unit has been setting up vaccination centres in convention and sporting venues in Germany s North Rhine-Westphalia state, the nation s most-populous with 18 million residents.
Schneemann s pandemic pivot illustrates how logistics firms like Kuehne + Nagel, Germany s Deutsche Post DHL, Denmark s DSV Panalpina and Spain s Grupo Logista have turned COVID-19 disruption into opportunity, grabbing a share of the burgeoning vaccine economy while managing record demand in traditional businesses.
