Volker Wissing to Take Patronage of the Logistics Hall of Fame

“Logistics is the backbone of the economy and society and makes sure that our everyday lives function smoothly. The Logistics Hall of Fame illustrates this impressively in an independent, professional and international way across all sectors and media channels. It is supported by an expert jury that represents all sub-sections and facets of logistics. It is my great pleasure to support the Logistics Hall of Fame because it helps enhance the perception of, and above all appreciation for, this sector’s immense significance,” emphasises Dr Volker Wissing, Member of the German Bundestag, Federal Minister for Digital and Transport.

In 2022, the Logistics Hall of Fame will once again induct a new member. Until May 13, anyone can nominate personalities or groups of people for election to the Logistics Hall of Fame at www.logisticshalloffame.net or submit an application. The achievement can be technical, strategic, scientific, managerial or entrepreneurial. The decisive factor is that it is not only useful for an individual company but has a positive impact on logistics as a whole.

The Hall of Fame can be accessed free of charge at any time at www.logisticshalloffame.net. It provides information about the milestones of logistics and the people behind.

Background Logistics Hall of Fame: The Logistics Hall of Fame was founded in 2003 and honours leading figures who have made outstanding efforts to promote the further development of logistics and supply chain management. This hall is also designed to remind future generations of the achievements of these individuals in the service of logistics.
