FOCUS ON EXCELLENCE

Austrian Logistics was founded by the Federal Ministry of Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) together with the Austrian Federal Association of Logistics (BVL), the Federation of Austrian Industries (IV), the Austrian Logistics Network Association (VNL), the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (WKÖ), and the Central Association of Freight Forwarding & Logistics (ZVSL) as part of the logistics initiative.

The aim is to highlight the excellent services provided by Austrian logistic companies throughout the world. In addition, it is important to demonstrate the comprehensive benefits of the logistics sector and the contribution it makes to the economy through its networking activities.

LOGISTICS SECTOR

Intelligent logistics refers to the use of innovative technologies and customised solutions to fulfil the specific needs of each individual customer. This requires smart technology, maximum flexibility and a detailed understanding of the processes within the customer’s company. Ultimately, logistics contributes to a higher standard of living for everyone through the use of highly efficient processes while simultaneously conserving resources.

In order to drive the industry forward, all of the major stakeholders in the domestic industry joined forces in 2014 and have developed initiatives – as part of the Logistics Action Plan and the Logistics Working Group – to establish and enhance Austria’s reputation as an attractive business location. This ongoing process sets an example for Austria as a whole and offers tremendous opportunities for politics, special interest groups, science and business.

Make WOW! a reality and become a part of Austrian Logistics!

We stand out. Worldwide!

The new slogan for Austrian logistics conveys several messages:

WOW! Austria's logistics sector provides a first-class service.
WOW! Austria's logistics sector ensures the country's economy remains strong and internationally competitive.
WOW! Austria's logistics sector knows no borders – it spans the globe.

We have set out to raise awareness of the value of logistics – among companies, individuals, politicians and society as a whole. Because it is an industry that benefits each and every one of us.
