WHO WE ARE

The Open Logistics Foundation and its supporting association Open Logistics e.V. were founded in 2021 and are independent and neutral organisations.

Currently, the Open Logistics Foundation unites more than 40 international companies under its neutral umbrella. This community is well known for its forward thinking, courageous open source approach and output-driven way to work.
