About the Association

Logistics connects us. Logistics makes us more efficient. Good logistics makes us better.

The Slovenian Logistic Association (SLA) is a voluntary, independent and non-profit association of members and sympathisers in the field of transport, traffic and business logistics. We are a network of more than 250 managers, experts, entrepreneurs and others who work in the field of logistics or are interested in this field and want to contribute to the all-round development of Slovenian logistics, increase its visibility and strengthen its international reputation through their activities in the Association.

Knowledge, networking and collaboration
The activities of the Association are driven by the recognition that the logistics environment in Slovenia is fragmented, lacking comprehensiveness, and faces challenges in training and education. We believe that enhancing the sector can be accomplished through more active collaboration between businesses and educational institutions. Consequently, we are strengthening our partnerships with various faculties, engaging in meaningful dialogues on the profession's importance, and working towards providing skilled professionals whose knowledge aligns with the needs of users.

Beyond knowledge, an efficient supply chain necessitates excellent cooperation between logistics service providers and users. Achieving this requires a comprehensive understanding of the situation, the ability to identify opportunities, awareness of trends, knowledge of international best practices, and insights into future forecasts. To enhance competitiveness, continuous technological progress and the implementation of innovative, ground-breaking logistics solutions with higher added value are crucial.
