The next phase of the election process for the Logistics Hall of Fame now begins: the jury, which is made up of around 70 internationally renowned industry experts from business, media and politics, will decide in the coming weeks who will be inducted as a new member of the Hall of Fame and who will hold the title of "Logistics Leader of the Year".
The Logistics Hall of Fame documents the major milestones in logistics. The decisive factor for induction is that an achievement has significantly and sustainably advanced logistics beyond the boundaries of their own company. Up to now, 41 men and women have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The prize is awarded by the Logistics Hall of Fame and donated by STILL GmbH. In addition to its role as a guardian, the Logistics Hall of Fame recognizes future-oriented achievements with the donor´s award to initiate and promote innovation.
