History

Created in Italy in 1994, F&L was established as an independent forum for logistics leaders from manufacturing and transport supply across Europe to meet twice annually in different locations to review and embrace best practice. Founder member countries Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

With a thriving network of current senior business leaders, brands, global institutions, regulators, academics, thought leaders, personalities and experts, F&L remains independent of any other body and organises a variety in-person & online meetings including business roundtables, conferences, debates, expert comment and presentations, innovation events and networking for its members. Discussion is confidential and is based on the Chatham House Rule.  F&L is not-for-profit and does not lobby.  We meet members current and future in their own backyards and refuse to accept F&L delivering anything but the best to its multi-stakeholder community.
