Welcome to transport logistic 2005 - http://www.transportlogistic.de/index.php?id=25337

Outsourcing, globalization and increased flexibility are key topics of interest to the industry. Key topics that are moving more and more goods throughout the world.

The volume of international trade is growing disproportionately to global production. This growth is opening up new prospects for all sectors of the transport industry, i.e. materials flow, freight transport, logistics, telematics, eCommerce and passenger transport. As a gateway to future-oriented technologies, strategies for success and people with new visions, transport logistic gives exhibitors and visitors an important competitive edge. As a platform that covers the use of all systems in all industries, it promotes interdisciplinary know-how, which is a key factor when competing for growing domestic markets.
