In January 2026, Solvares Logistics was featured in the Handelsblatt Smart Supply Chain special supplement with an interview with our CEO, Alexander Sollmann. Under the title “Stable Supply Chains for Europe”, he discusses today’s challenges for European supply chains – from geopolitical tensions to trade barriers – and how companies can use technology to identify risks earlier and manage processes more flexibly.
Key take aways from the interview
- Resilience requires speed: digital tools help assess the impact of decisions faster—enabling companies not just to react, but to manage operations proactively.
- Simulations create decision confidence: scenarios such as tariff changes, alternative routes, or capacity constraints can be assessed and put into context more effectively.
- Empty miles are a key lever: even small percentage improvements can have a significant impact on costs and the environment.
- Digitally map international requirements: from customs formalities to sanctions and embargo checks—transparency reduces risk and speeds up processes.
