Hellenic Logistics Company

What Hellenic Logistics Company does

Hellenic Logistics Company (Ελληνική Εταιρεία Logistics, EEL) is a Greek professional industry association founded in 1994 and headquartered in Athens. It operates as the primary non-profit membership body for Greece's logistics, supply chain, freight forwarding, warehousing, and transportation sectors, governed by a Board of Directors currently led by President Nikos Rodopoulos (Νίκος Ροδόπουλος). EEL is legally registered in Greece as a Σύλλογος/Επαγγελματική Ένωση (professional association) and is not a publicly listed entity.

The association's core offerings are member services rather than technology products. Its flagship event is the annual Panhellenic Logistics Congress (documented through at least 22 editions, including the 19th in 2015 and 22nd in 2018). Complementing the congress are seminars, workshops, undergraduate and graduate program partnerships, career days, and a dedicated mentoring platform (mentoring.eel.gr) launched around 2021. The organization also publishes research, master plan documents for Greece, newsletters, and a Knowledge Hub covering topics including green logistics (Πράσινη Εφοδιαστική), and operates a secondary WILHUB platform (wilhub.eel.gr) added around 2023. Video content is distributed through a YouTube channel.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual membership subscriptions from corporate and individual members, supplemented by conference and event registrations. Membership is available through an online shop at eel.gr. Corporate members span major Greek and multinational logistics operators, including DB Schenker, G4S, Goldair, Sarmed, DS Freight, Diakinisis, AN Digital, Exelixis, Kerma Logistics, GS1 Hellas, Jungheinrich, Mantis, Omind, Plessas, OSFE, Plus, Wardi, and others, alongside smaller firms. Distribution and member acquisition are event-driven, anchored on the congress, seminars, workshops, and career days, with supporting channels including the website, email newsletters, social media, and media partnerships (BOUSSIAS for the Supply Chain & Logistics Summit, Trohoi & TIR trade magazine). The association has no proprietary technology stack, no disclosed AI capabilities, and no software products beyond its membership and mentoring portals.

Comparable to EEL in mission of professional development and industry representation in supply chain/logistics.
