Birkart parent boxes clever SA company shares in worldwide values mission

KEVIN MAYHEW SENDING A box round the world is probably one of the best ways for a logistics company to collect inspirational messages from its global offices. Recently Birkart Globistics (SA) received such a box from its Luxembourg parent company, Thiel Logistik AG. The “Thiel Vision Cube” began its trip in June from Darmstadt in Germany on a special voyage around the world and will return to the headquarters of Thiel AG in Grevenmacher, Luxembourg, with commitments from all round the world adorning it, making it a powerful symbol of their common corporate goal. Its vision is to develop Thiel Logistik into a leading logistics company with an integrated approach to solutions focusing on a strategic alignment of the main elements of its business - industry solutions for air, ocean and regional logistics services. At each subsidiary a message in the language of the country in which it operates declares commitment to achieving the vision. This message, authenticated with the stamp of the local company, is posted on the box to be visible for all to see when visiting the Thiel head office. After South Africa the box, containing the “Thiel Vision Cube”, in its specially designed transport cover, left for Brazil in South America.
