Silver/Lanyard Sponsor | Trusted Freight Forwarding Partner
Our senior member and long-time sponsor, JL Logistic GmbH, continues to stand out in the freight forwarding industry with its dedication to service excellence. A valued member of our network since 2015, JL Logistic GmbH has been a key supporter of our events and is proud to be a Silver & Lanyard Sponsor for INO Summit 2025. This commitment reinforces their dedication to collaboration, growth, and industry advancement. As Freight Midpoint (FM), we conducted an exclusive interview with Thomas Waschke, Managing Director from JL Logistic GmbH to learn more about their journey, services, and the importance of strong logistics partnerships.
1. Could you share the story behind your company’s entry into the freight forwarding industry and how it has evolved over time?
"JL Logistic was founded in 1997 in Jena as a logistics warehouse company (originally Jena Logistic) and was re-established as JL Logistic in Hahn at the airport in 2008. The reason for its foundation and the story behind the company were the needs for warehousing and distribution services, alongside import and export by air and sea. In 2008, the owners decided to steer the company into modern times after the U.S. crisis and invested in three additional offices in Germany to become independent and prepare for the future."
2. Which services do you offer, and what distinguishes your company from other freight forwarders in your country?
"The family background and the availability via email, office phone, or mobile phone. We treat everyone (shippers, consignees, and our agents) equally, whether they are freight payers or not. Our success is based on a specific system, as we can only gain market shares if both the delivery and receiver sides are satisfied with our work, communication, and handling skills."
3. From your perspective, what is the value of being part of a logistics network, and how has your experience with our network contributed to your success?
"It is mandatory to find the right partner with the same approach and work ethic as you show publicly, to get to know each other, understand each other, like each other, and finally work together based on the trust you have earned from your partner. You cannot survive without a partner in our logistics world, and a good network opens up many opportunities with the right partners in each country for long-term relationships."
We sincerely appreciate JL Logistic GmbH for their ongoing trust and sponsorship. Their dedication to reliability, communication, and long-term partnerships is truly commendable. We look forward to welcoming them as a Silver & Lanyard Sponsor at INO Summit 2025 and to another successful gathering of global freight forwarders!
