• As of February 2025, the warehouse automation specialist is presenting its new brand presence: with fresh colors, bold shapes and a global campaign• The brand relaunch reflects TGW Logistics' ongoing development: more than mere mechatronic engineering! The most responsible enablers for highly-automated fulfillment centers and ambitious goals for the future.• “It’s possible” is a promise to customers, suppliers and employees alike to symbiotically merge supposed opposites(Marchtrenk, February 3, 2025) The world is changing ever faster and TGW Logistics is changing with it. The reworked brand presence is the visible expression of the transformation process that the warehouse automation specialist is undergoing. This rebranding builds on the corporate DNA that has developed over the last 55 years and translates it into an unmistakable new presence. With fresh colors, a bold design and a strong slogan that gets to the heart of TGW Logistics' aspiration: It's possible.Our world is one full of decisions – and one full of contradictions, in which companies have to make new choices every day. Profit or sustainability? Technology or humanity? Speed or precision? Our daily life is characterized by such either-or decisions. But what if there were a way to unite instead of divide? That is exactly the approach that TGW Logistics takes, combining the best of two worlds. This allows “AND” to take center stage, and with it the power of collaboration.Brand transformationThe relaunch is the visible expression of a reorientation. TGW Logistics has grown a lot over the past years and its turnover recently surpassed the billion-euro-mark for the first time in the company's history. The product and solution portfolio has also undergone a sustainable expansion: in addition to the mechatronic engineering know-how built up over the last five decades, expertise in software and digitalization is also among TGW Logistics' core competencies as a systems integrator. The reworked brand identity represents a step in this transformation process, provides clarity and highlights TGW Logistics' ongoing development.Variety, multidimensionality and dynamismThe new branding will contribute to further strengthening TGW Logistics' position in the core markets of Europe, North America and Asia.

This trio constitutes what we call the TGW world.Two-thirds of TGW Logistics' profits remain within the company and are invested in the employees and innovations.
