How does a business add value for its clients? What marks a solid partnership? And which factors are essential to remain a successful service provider in the future? Martin Rademaker, Executive Board member at FIEGE, speaks to us in this interview about challenges and recipes for success – and explains why feedback from clients is the most valuable currency.

The new office building of the Greven-based family business, FIEGE at Münster’s Hafen district has been completed. Since August of last year, one floor after the other has come to life at the X-Dock. With an office area of 10,000+ square metres, one of Münster’s most cutting-edge working environments has been created. The landmark office was officially opened on Wednesday, with Münster’s Lord Mayor, Markus Lewe in attendance.

The logistics company FIEGE invests in its location in Bülach. In close proximity to Zurich airport, an additional multi-user centre has been built for clients operating in eCommerce, fashion, FMCG and the industry. On the occasion of the grand opening last Friday, some 70 guests had been invited, including Carmen Walker Späh, member of the Government Council of the Canton of Zurich.

The FIEGE Group expands its Executive Board. Kenza Ait Si Abbou, an AI and data expert, will be overseeing the Digital Services, IT and Data Driven Company units at the Greven-based logistics company.

The logistics company FIEGE joined the Diversity Charter initiative. With this step, the family business from Greven in Westphalia intensifies its efforts in securing a diverse and non-discriminatory working environment for its global workforce of 22,000.

Soccer Cup on the big stage: The 150th anniversary edition of the company’s signature football tournament goes down as the biggest event in the history of FIEGE. A venue set against a breath-taking backdrop made up of 3,500 participants is what the Preußen Stadium in Münster was.

In 1873, Joan Joseph Fiege, then a farmer, founded a small haulage business in Greven in Westphalia. Fast forward 150 years, and FIEGE has become an international logistics company with a workforce of more than 23,000 people working in 16 countries that pursues – next to its core activity, contract logistics – also real estate, ventures, and digital services. Despite ongoing growth for one and a half centuries, the FIEGE family business has maintained its values as well as a special attachment to their home region.

FIEGE had once again invited friends to join it for its FAST & FORWARD event held in Berlin on Thursday. The goal of this year’s networking event is to bring companies and start-ups together, engage in discussions, and take along fresh stimuli for one’s teams and organisations. An expectation which once again was more than fulfilled.

The FIEGE Group has pledged its commitment to becoming carbon neutral and has now published its first sustainability report. The report is informed by the internationally recognised Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and refers to the financial year 2022. In anticipation of the mandatory EU regulations which will come into effect starting 2025, it aims to create transparency for clients, partners, and other stakeholders.
