Somehow, for some member companies, the service provided by our framework agreement partner UPS has not been as smooth as in the early years.
Since it always helps to talk about problems, shipping managers and purchasing managers from member companies, customers of byNIRO GmbH and contact persons from UPS came together in our port room on February 18, 2026 to discuss what possibilities and potential they see to compensate for the decline in service levels at UPS.

Member companies can use our NIRO Academy free of charge as a platform to make their training courses visible in the network and open them up to other members. In

On January 29, 2026, we accepted the invitation of our member company Venti Oelde and gained a very interesting insight into an application that takes digital shopfloor management to a new level by integrating AI.

From September 2025 to January 2026, managers from member companies took part in the “Operations Managers – Production and Logistics” qualification as part of our NIRO Academy. The program comprised seven days of training and developed operational managers specifically in the areas of lean management, project management, leadership and communication so that they can apply the content directly in internal company projects.

The training was divided into three modules. The program was supplemented by collegial case consultations and a final workshop with the respective supervisors.

Time to recharge your batteries, look back a little and slowly focus on new things.
