Stefan Krauter, CEO of cargo-partner, has been awarded as “Logistics Manager of the Year” by the Austrian magazine “Verkehr”. This is a recognition of the extraordinary work of the 65-year old Austrian and the company founded by him in 1983.
With its annual logistics award, the international weekly newspaper VERKEHR presents outstanding personalities and companies as well as innovative young start-ups in logistics to honor their achievements and introduce them to a wider audience. On November 18, 2020, the vote for “Logistics Manager of the Year” took place for the ninth time.
In addition, readers also voted for the “Logistics Start-up of the Year” as well as the “Logistics Brand of the Year”. The winners are determined from an overall vote, which results in equal parts from the decision of a renowned specialist and brand advisory board and the online voting by readers of the weekly newspaper “Verkehr”.
In order to be nominated, a company or personality must have achieved above-average performance in at least one of the following categories: ecology, innovation, economy and role model effect (education and training, quality, reputation).
Stefan Krauter is delighted about this acknowledgement of the company’s excellent performance, even in challenging times: “I am very touched by this award, since the newspaper Verkehr has been with me practically my entire life. It has always been an important point of reference in a time of great change, where we all have to adapt to many challenges, which is especially true this year.”
