Logistics Network of Central Germany e.V.
Founded in 2008, the Logistics Network Leipzig-Halle e.V. has been named Logistics Network of Central Germany e.V. since 2018 due to its expanded area of activity. It unites not only numerous “classic” logistics service providers but also companies from the field of logistics-related services, personnel and real estate industries, local authorities such as the cities of Leipzig and Halle, regional chambers of commerce, as well as research and educational institutions, including eight universities. Since 2016, the network has had regional offices in Dresden and Chemnitz.
The network represents the federal states of Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt in the Association of Logistics Initiatives Germany. Among the central tasks of the network are, in addition to innovation, personnel and business development, the positioning of the logistics region of Central Germany as an established European gateway and central distribution location with fast connections, particularly to Eastern European and East Asian markets, to which cooperation with the Port of Hamburg and the logistics region of Sassnitz-Mukran in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern significantly contributes.
