The Logistics & Digital Supply Chain Management sector is led by Oliver Rupps. He draws on a powerful international network of experts who are involved in projects on a case-by-case basis.
Logistics has traditionally been shaped by the physical movement of goods. However, few other sectors have undergone such rapid transformation in recent years. Digital technologies now set the agenda, turning transportation from a mere necessity into a high-performance supply chain and a decisive competitive factor. AI applications, machine learning, digital twins, and UI/UX are being deployed strategically, while applications for quantum computing are already under intensive development.
The Hampleton team combines a deep understanding of the relevant technologies with long-standing operational experience across all segments of logistics. Most recently, Hampleton Partners advised thyssenkrupp on a strategic acquisition: thyssenkrupp Materials Services acquired WAVES S.à.r.l. in Luxembourg, a leading provider of sustainability management solutions for the supply chain.
