Logistician of the Year 2025: Two Award Winners This Year
Based on the applications received, the Logistician of the Year award committee carefully reviewed all submissions and made a special decision for this year’s selection. The year 2025 marks the 20th edition of the award, giving it additional significance.
Good examples and best practices inspire progress—and that is precisely the essence of the Logistician of the Year award. On one hand, it recognizes the best and most ambitious individuals; on the other, it serves as an important motivation for all those striving for more. In doing so, the award significantly contributes to strengthening the competitiveness of the entire Slovenian logistics sector.
Decision of the Committee
Based on well-founded arguments, the committee unanimously decided that this year the award would not be presented to just one candidate, but to two outstanding logisticians.
Both awardees lead companies with excellent performance:
- they stand out in terms of financial success,
- demonstrate a high level of logistics organization,
- systematically invest in information excellence,
- develop numerous development projects,
- implement ambitious investments,
- and operate responsibly towards the environment.
Their development-oriented mindset is reflected in stable business growth, high value added per employee (well above the Slovenian and industry average), and comparable economic performance—both companies achieved an EBITDA of nearly €3 million in 2025.
Although they operate in different areas of logistics, they are united by thoughtful investment and a clear vision, positioning them among key logistics partners not only in Slovenia but also across the wider region.
