Call for Nominations: Logistician of the Year 2025
The Slovenian Logistics Association is pleased to announce the opening of nominations for the prestigious Logistician of the Year 2025 award. We invite companies and individuals from the economy to present exceptional achievements and contributions to the development of logistics.
Exemplary cases inspire and attract attention, which is why the presentation of best practices and people behind is so important. For the award recipient, this recognition represents a reward for dedicated work and achieved results; for others, it serves as a strong incentive to continue striving for excellence in the field of logistics. This is a contribution to the greater competitiveness of the entire Slovenian logistics!
It is therefore essential that outstanding achievements in logistics in Slovenia are visible, recognized, rewarded, and presented to the wider public. When evaluating nominations, the committee takes into account the company’s achievements in the previous period in the seven fundamental areas of logistics business excellence: organizational, information, technological, economic, developmental, environmental and safety aspects as well as key business logistics performance indicators.
