Philosophy of the foundation as a framework for action

"I am very excited to get started in my new position. As a foundation company, TGW Logistics has a unique set-up in which performance plays a central role, but in which there is also a lot of room for people's individuality. This is in line with my understanding of leadership, in which trust, empowerment and attention are equally important." says Puhl. "The 'idea TGW' and the basic philosophy 'Focus on People - Learning and Growth' form our framework for action and lay a strong foundation for the future."

The departing CEO Harald Schröpf has had a decisive influence on the direction TGW Logistics has taken. He is retiring at his own request. His commitment and successful work are greatly appreciated.
