Rolf Schnellecke, chairman of the supervisory board of Wolfsburg-based Schnellecke Group, has been admitted to the international Logistics Hall of Fame.
Schnellecke has been acknowledged as an "outsourcing trendsetter and innovator of automotive logistics".
"With value-added logistics, Rolf Schnellecke has entered completely new territory in the forwarding industry and developed a successful business model with great foresight that has shaped an entire industry. It would be unthinkable for the automotive industry today to operate without these logistics services," says Anita Würmser, executive jury chairperson of the Logistics Hall of Fame, regarding the final decision of the international expert jury.
Schnellecke founded M. Schnellecke KG in 1967 at the age of 22, together with his mother. As a shareholder and later as chairman of the supervisory board, he determined the strategic orientation of the company and developed the Schnellecke Group into an international logistics service provider with almost 20,000 employees at over 60 locations.
