The Future
Is Now

TikTok goes the clock

“In times of saturated markets and economic challenges, this offers a major opportunity for the  development of new sales spaces because the potential reach on social media is quite simply huge.”

Trust your talents

How do we, as a family business, become future-proof? What strategic challenges await us as a logistics service provider? Fifteen top international talents from the FIEGE world spent several weeks addressing these questions in order to identify the major megatrends that will shape our society and, in particular, our industry by 2030. Our colleagues presented their interesting results in the auditorium of our X-Dock. We asked our board members what key learnings they took with them and which of the top talents' hypotheses surprised them most.

There is no future without a past

Our new videocast has Heinz Fiege and Dr Hugo Fiege look back at a time when they jointly managed and defined our family business as Co-CEOs. First in line is Dr Hugo Fiege who talks to Sarah Schimmelpfennig, Executive Director Marketing & Communications at FIEGE, about courage, change and entrepreneurship, and explains why even after 50 years in business, one should always be looking to the future.

The fourth generation
“Trust is key. Managers need to be on top of things not only professionally, but also in their ability to work as a team. An executive on their own will never achieve and move as much as an executive who trusts in their team.”
Dr. Hugo FIEGE
„Vertrauen ist der Schlüssel. Managerinnen und Manager müssen nicht nur fachlich top, sondern vor allem auch ­teamfähig sein. Eine Führungskraft allein erreicht und bewegt niemals so viel wie die Führungskraft, die auf ihr Team vertraut.“

Progress is the result of change

The Transformation Journey: From Vision to Customer Value was the motto headlining this year’s FAST& FORWARD in Berlin. It was the seventh instalment of our networking event, where roughly 300 international invitees from the industry, trading and start-up scene talked, exchanged ideas and together sought answers to the question how the courage to want to bring about change can create genuine value.

“My mind is filled with thoughts and ideas. It was a very exciting day which will hopefully give not only me, but especially our invitees and customers much to take home.”
