As Managing Partner and CDO, I am responsible for Business Solutions, IT as well as Communications, Global HR Projects and Corporate Ventures at Leschaco worldwide.

That was transport logistic 2023

More than 75,000 visitors from over 120 countries met at the Munich exhibition center between May 9 and 12 for transport logistic, the world’s leading trade fair for logistics, mobility, IT and supply chain management. After 26 years, Leschaco was also back with its own stand for the first time. And after four great days at the fair, I can say: it was worth it!

This trade show, which is so important for the industry, has now been in existence since 1978. Experts from the fields of sea and air freight, tank containers, contract logistics as well as intermodal transports and supply chain solutions met at our booth B4.119/218. Leschaco’s global logistics services and everyone’s passion for chemicals and dangerous goods made Leschaco the point of contact and advice for a large number of visitors to the stand.

Modern times and good forecasts for dangerous goods logistics

“Nothing works without logistics” – that’s what you read in the trade show’s final report, and Messe München’s two managing directors, Stefan Rummel and Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer, are absolutely right. Logistics is more than simply transporting goods across the world’s oceans, road networks and airways. Logistics combines cleverly thought-out strategies with sophisticated schedules and state-of-the-art technology. And the industry is thinking ahead: one of the top themes at transport logistics this year was sustainability.

At our booth, many conversations with our customers and partners revolved around the current challenges for sustainable and safe dangerous goods logistics. Here are some impressions of life at our stand, which we had developed especially for transport logistic 2023:

The open stand concept was well received. Opinions and experiences were diligently exchanged between barrels and containers. Our visitors came - as befits a world-leading trade fair - from all continents.

On 10 May, I welcomed numerous customers and partners to a small reception at our stand together with my sister Charlotte Palermo.

The pulsating heart above our stand symbolised not only the empathy with which the Leschaco team is committed to the interests of its customers all over the world, but at the same time our self-image as the pacemaker of an industry: we want to be the driving force that, as logistics experts, moves people and goods and brings them together.
