Ismaning near Munich, February 26, 2018.

The Logistics Hall of Fame has announced a new award.

When the proposal portal opens on 26 February, it will for the first time be possible to submit proposals for a "Logistics Leader of the Year" alongside the world-famous members.

“The members are the very core of the Hall of Fame. They are the legends of logistics and represent the major milestones. Logistics leaders are the industry's future leaders and clockmakers,” says Anita Würmser, Chairwoman of the Jury, explaining the difference between members and the new honors.

With the new award the Hall of Fame wants to document the latest top performances in logistics and supply chain management in addition to its function as a guardian, in order to bring the efficiency and innovative strength of the industry even more to the public.

In the future the award will be presented annually to entrepreneurs and managers in the fields of logistics and supply chain management who are particularly successful in their business or who have stimulated trend-setting initiatives. The focus is on actuality and the benefit for the own company.

The decisive factor for an induction as a member of the Logistics Hall of Fame, on the other hand, is that a performance is not only beneficial for an individual company, yet that it has significantly and permanently advanced logistics beyond the boundaries of one's own organization or has become an industry standard. The achievement can be technical, strategic, scientific, business relevant or entrepreneurial.

Anyone can submit proposals or applications for admission to the Logistics Hall of Fame or Logistics Leader of the Year in German or English language free of charge by May 3. A proposal can only be submitted via the internet form available at www.logisticshalloffame.net.

The Logistics Hall of Fame is supported by politicians, associations and scientists as well as representatives from business and the media.
