The logistics industry remains one of the fundamental economic sectors. Hence it constantly seeks to innovate, and this innovation has been focused on efficiency, flexibility, technology, and care for the environment for over 10 years. Let us look on main trends that will develop during 2023.

2022 began with a marked trend for great technological advances and improvements in the industrial sector that seek to change towards more efficient, flexible, technological and automated companies, also considering the environment as a focus of interest.
