Since September 18, 2025, the executive leadership at Gruber Logistics has consisted of Martin Gruber, CEO of the renowned logistics service provider, and Marco Manfredini. Last week, Manfredini assumed operational responsibilities in his role as Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the internationally active transport and logistics group headquartered in South Tyrol.
The aim of this personnel decision is to further optimize the synergies resulting from the collaboration between Gruber Logistics CEO Martin Gruber and his long-term vision for corporate development, and Marco Manfredini’s operational excellence. The traditional roots of the family-run company, now in its third generation, are complemented by Manfredini’s extensive expertise, which he gained through working with numerous multinational logistics companies and has already begun applying at Gruber Logistics over the past six months.
The experienced logistics manager joined Gruber Logistics in March 2025 and has distinguished himself as part of the executive team through his leadership in fleet management, full truck load (FTL) operations, and project logistics.
“Our decision to centralize operational responsibilities in one position allows us to better integrate the company’s various business units and focus more strongly on service quality through increased standardization,” explains Martin Gruber, CEO of Gruber Logistics, regarding the rationale behind this move. “This will give our company the flexibility and capacity it needs to meet the challenges of the coming years.”
The appointment of Marco Manfredini as Chief Operating Officer reflects the dynamic approach that has enabled Gruber Logistics to double its revenue over the past five years. The ability to continuously adapt internal structures is a core part of the company’s DNA. It contributes to ongoing development, allowing Gruber Logistics to respond quickly to market changes and seize growth opportunities.
