Erich Staake enters the logistics hall of fame
Erich Staake is the new member of the logistics hall of fame. The chairman of the executive board of Duisburger Hafen AG was elected as “moderniser of inland port logistics” among 30 candidates from nine nations to the international logistics hall of fame.
"Staake is the man behind the 'wonder of Duisburg'. With his logport concept, he has achieved a task of the century in logistics in less than 20 years by transforming Duisburg's regional port into a major logistics hub in Europe. He has not only set a logistical milestone, but he has also given Duisburg a new perspective,” says Anita Würmser, managing chairwoman of the logistics hall of fame jury, explaining the decision of the jury.
Staake can claim to have led inland port logistics into a new era. On the basis of his logport concept he reinvented the port of Duisburg as a multimodal logistics location and turned it into the largest inland port in Europe and an international benchmark. (mw)
