That was Supply Chain Day 2026!
On April 16th, 2026, Germany's third-largest economic sector once again demonstrated that logistics is far more than vans double-parked in side streets, issues with the parcel delivery services or supply shortages of toilet paper.
For the 19th time, companies, organisations and institutes – both on-site and online – opened their doors to the public, showcasing just how diverse and high-performing the logistics industry truly is.
Through free tours, simulation games, lectures, webinars, and much more, participants had the opportunity to experience logistics live.
Supply Chain Day
Most people associate logistics with the transport of goods. But logistics is so much more than transporting things from A to B!
Among other things, the Bundesvereinigung Logistik (BVL) launched Supply Chain Day in 2008 to bring the diversity of logistics closer to the public.
Since then, companies, organisations and institutes have opened their doors to the public on Supply Chain Day both on site and online – and for one day – in keeping with the motto "Experience logistics live" – provide insights into the exciting tasks and diverse job profiles of logistics.
With 103 participating companies, organisations and institutes from 7 countries, 103 events and around 2,050 participants, Supply Chain Day 2025 was a complete success.
Initiators are the communication agencies mainblick and teamtosse with the support of the Bundesvereinigung Logistik (BVL), the initiative "Die Wirtschaftsmacher" and many other initiatives and associations.
