On Wednesday night, the winners of the XXIV National Logistics Award were announced , granted by the #SoyLogístico Association , which highlights the work and commitment of companies, teachers and professionals who drive growth and efficiency in the national supply chain.

Since its first edition, the award has sought to promote innovation, talent development and strengthening collaboration within the sector, awarding more than 100 Tamemes in these 24 years.

David Martínez, president of the organizing committee, stressed that the association has been consolidated around four fundamental pillars : university links, education and updating, generation of logistical information and grouping and representation.

“University involvement is one of the most important pillars, as it speaks to the future of logistics in Mexico and the commitment to new generations,” said Martínez.

For his part, Virgilio Paniagua, president of the #SoyLogístico Association, stressed the importance of collaboration in the current global context, marked by polarization and challenges of various kinds.

“The world is facing significant changes, and it is essential that we address these challenges together. This award is not only a recognition of those who have worked hard in the supply chain, but also a call to continue joining forces,” said Paniagua.

He also acknowledged that Mexico, as the world’s 12th largest economy, has the potential to become one of the leading economies globally, and the logistics sector is a key element in achieving this.

During the event, the Association of Logistics Operators of Mexico (AOLM) was also recognized for 10 years promoting innovation and logistics efficiency.

“Innovation is one of the fundamental pillars of our work. At AOLM, we actively collaborate with SoyLogístico to continue promoting this sector, which is crucial for the development of our country,” said Antonio Castro, president of AOLM.

Scania Mexico announced on Monday that it has begun training the fifth generation of the Scania Drivers program in Toluca, State of Mexico , a new generation of professional women in the operation of cargo transport vehicles, which is made up of 10 students.

Upon completion of their professional training, students will obtain a federal license issued by the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) , which will also provide them with the necessary skills to face the labor market.

The new generation of Scania drivers is supported by the National Chamber of Cargo Transport (Canacar) , the Association of Women Operators (AMO) , Barcel , Autotransportes Pilot , Transcooler Logistics and Digital FEMSA .
