The Logistics Hall of Fame

 

 The Logistics Hall of Fame honours leading figures who have made outstanding efforts to promote the further development of logistics and supply chain management. This eternal pantheon is designed to ensure that future generations of logisticians do not forget the efforts and commitment of those who went before them.

In addition, the Hall of Fame aims to document outstanding achievements in logistics and to encourage and promote innovations. In this way, it raises public awareness for the performance capability and innovative drive of logistics, helping to underpin the competitiveness and improve the image of the entire logistics sector. The Logistics Hall of Fame was founded in 2003®.
