Who will be inducted into the international Logistics Hall of Fame in 2026? The Logistics Hall of Fame is planning several new inductees in 2026. The final decision is up to the international jury.
Ismaning nr. Munich/Munich, June 3, 2026. The finalists for induction into the Logistics Hall of Fame 2026 have been determined. The Logistics Hall of Fame Council nominated eight proposals featuring a total of 11 individuals for induction into the international hall of fame on Tuesday at Munich Airport. The host of the meeting was automation specialist Exotec. A total of 30 valid nominations from nine nations had been submitted to the award organization. The names of the finalists traditionally remain confidential. The final decision now rests with the international jury.
The nominations were decided by the Logistics Hall of Fame Council 2026:
• Robert Cameron, Head of Production, Logistics & Aftermarket at the German Association of the Automotive Industry, VDA, Berlin
• Jens Hügel, Senior Adviser, IRU Geneva, Schweiz

The Logistics Hall of Fame documents outstanding milestones and personalities in logistics. The key criterion for induction is that an achievement has sustainably advanced logistics beyond the boundaries of one's own company.
By decision of the Council, 2026 will mark the first time in ten years that multiple personalities will be inducted into the Logistics Hall of Fame simultaneously. This reflects the organization's recognition of the many defining personalities and achievements that have had a lasting impact on the industry over the years.
The final decision is made by an independent jury of approximately 70 internationally renowned experts from business, academia, politics, and the media. The ceremonial induction into the Logistics Hall of Fame takes place as part of the annual gala reception at the Vienna Hofburg.
