Friedrich Nagel

Friedrich Nagel co-founded the Bremen forwarding firm Kühne & Nagel with August Kühne in 1890. Little detailed biographical information about him is publicly documented; the Nagel family later left the business, which the Kühne family went on to control.

Friedrich Nagel co-founded Kühne & Nagel in Bremen, Germany, in 1890 together with August Kühne. The firm began as a forwarding and commission agent handling customs, documentation and onward transport for goods moving through the port. While the Nagel name remains in the company's brand, it was the Kühne family that controlled and expanded the group over the following century.

Friedrich Nagel was born in 1864.
