                “New job, new adventure!” says Toni Gabriel, who has just announced his new position as Sales Project Manager at the systems integrator TGW in Rotkreuz. He was impressed by the Austrian company TGW's combination of innovation, team spirit, and smart, future-oriented logistics solutions.

We last saw him nine months ago at Logistics & Automation in Zurich as Sales Director Switzerland for Ferag. Before his stint in Weinfelden, he was Head of Sales at SSI Schäfer in Neunkirch. Gabriel gained extensive experience as a warehouse supervisor and logistics manager before moving into sales and project implementation in industry, production, trade, and e-commerce . Gabriel discusses his new role alongside TGW Switzerland Managing Director Thomas Kretz.
His credo, it seems, hasn't changed. "I am convinced," says Gabriel, "that future-proof logistics solutions must be seamlessly integrated into individual processes, be infinitely scalable, and adapt flexibly to new circumstances." In his work, he doesn't think in terms of individual tasks, but rather in terms of systems. "My passion for logistics drives me to look for solutions, not errors."
He looks forward to realizing exciting projects together in e-commerce, fashion and industry – with commitment, precision and a large dose of enthusiasm.
