STI Freight Management's European Management Meeting 2025
61 participants, 3 inspiring awards, and a shared vision for Thriving Cultures, Digital Drive, and Limitless Growth
"Thriving Cultures, Digital Drive, Limitless Growth" – this was the theme that guided our biannual STI FM European Management Meeting last week in the wonderful city of Cologne. Over the course of two days, 61 people from across our entities – Managing Directors, Team Leaders, Managers, and key functions – came together with a shared purpose: to connect, learn, and shape the future of our company.
The meeting was an opportunity to reflect on our journey and look ahead. The presentations not only shared valuable insights into our strategy and vision but also highlighted what we achieved in 2024. Speakers from each key European function – People Management, DE&I, Finance, Business Development, Operations, Digital Business Solutions, Change Management, Corporate Communications, and QA & Environment – all contributed to a deeper understanding of our progress and future direction. We were also privileged to welcome representatives from our shareholders, Martin-Brower and HAVI, who shared their plans and vision for the future with us.
What made this meeting truly special was its interactive nature. Instead of just listening, we held feedback sessions after each presentation, where everyone had the opportunity to reflect on key takeaways, share their thoughts, and suggest areas for further exploration. This made the event a dynamic and collaborative experience, with everyone actively engaged.
The group work sessions were where the magic truly happened. Focused on the themes of Thriving Cultures, Digital Drive, and Limitless Growth, these sessions sparked inspiring conversations and generated fresh ideas for the future. A big thank you to all participants for their valuable contributions!

Three of our entities had reason to celebrate as they were recognised with special awards for their exceptional achievements in the areas of Thriving Culture, Digital Drive, and Limitless Growth:
To round off the event, we also enjoyed a social evening – a chance to step away from work, unwind, and connect with each other on a more personal level. It’s these moments that strengthen our bonds and make teamwork so meaningful.
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and it is clear that this meeting helped us not only learn but also grow closer as a team. We are all ready to take these ideas and insights forward, stronger and more connected than ever. Together, we will continue to take quality the extra mile in everything we do.
