| | | WHAT IS SOLE IN LUXEMBOURG ?
 |
|
SOLE - The International Society of Logistics was created in the early 1960s as the Society of Logistics Engineers. The Luxembourg Chapter was formed in the early 1980's by logisticians (supply and maintenance experts) from local military (NATO) and commercial logistics service companies. In 2000 the Luxembourg Chapter became part of SOLEurope affiliated with the international SOLE organization to better serve the needs of European members. SOLE has some 3,000 members in 55 countries. |

Although "logistics" encompasses a broad area, SOLE is the only professional logistics organization in Luxembourg. In fact, Luxembourg is not represented in the European Logistics Association (ELA). ELA is a federation of 30 national organizations with the goal of providing a forum concerned with logistics within Europe and to assist industry and commerce in Europe. However, SOLE is planning to work with ELA and this would give Chapter Members the benefits explained for SOLE SOLE International - www.sole.org, à Soleurope, www.soleurope.org et à l'ELA - www.elalog.org |
