2020 began with concerns about the evolution of the European economy, but saw a completely unexpected development: a pandemic the likes of which had not been seen since the Spanish flu a hundred years earlier. At least one sector has proven its resilience: logistics. The general public now knows that this sector is indispensable to society. Thanks to its professionalism, the logistics sector has been able to continue to function, despite the vagaries of the health crisis.

The sector can be expected to further professionalize. Belgium is a frontrunner in various areas, such as the logistics of pharmaceutical products. And even in e-commerce logistics. Our reputation in this area is fully justified, says Gerry Bosmans, head of Contract Logistics Benelux at Kuehne+Nagel. You can discover that in his interview. Or in our article about robotization for Superdry at Bleckmann Logistics.

This professionalization can also be found in our TOP 1000 of logistics sites in Belgium. The surfaces are growing and the players are dynamic.

A resilient sector, which is also evident in the distribution of the COVID vaccine worldwide, as Steve Polmans indicates in the Outbox.

By the way, that vaccine will play a crucial role in 2021. In the hope that the situation will return to normal, I wish you all the best and good health for the coming year.
