The audience of TRANSLOG Connect Congress during his keynote presentation can better understand what exactly makes Waberer’s one of the leading road transportation companies, and they can see the solutions ensuring the satisfaction of their clients.
“We are indeed very excited to participate at TRANSLOG Connect Congress in 2016, at the wonderful Corinthia Grand Hotel in Budapest, having such a high quality, international level business event in Hungary. One might say that Hungary is the “home court” of Waberer’s International, and our Headquarters are located here, but we “play” on the international transport market. We expect that the market leading summit held in Hungary will attract the attention of companies at European level, and we can enjoy the advantages of the „home court”, while promoting our Europe-wide transportation services. TRANSLOG Connect Congress will be the first major public event, where Mr. Ferenc Lajkó represents Waberer’s International, as the new CEO of the company, holding this position since the end of July. In his presentation, Mr. Lajkó will focus on a very modern and unique business philosophy, which separates Waberer’s International from other competitors on the international transportation market. ” – says Mr. Tamás Fejes, Marketing Communication Specialist of Waberer’s International Zrt.
