Jaromir’s provides logistics services including washing of re-usable plastic containers used for fruits, vegetables and other perishable food items. As Jaromir puts it with a smile, “We process 300 million containers per year, but I guess I have not really progressed too much in my career.” He ended up in New York on a whim. Jaromir wanted to work, improve his English, and see the world. “I was not engaged at school. I was bored. It wasn’t forward-looking and I wanted to learn faster,” says Jaromir. “I didn’t know a single person in America and I had to find my own way from day one.” When Jaromir returned to the Czech Republic in 1994, he started the logistics firm that would become WELL PACK. His experience in New York had shaped his thinking, providing a valuable education in terms of how to provide for oneself and how to run a working business. “One of the most important takeaways I had from my time in America was that lower-level jobs can be a masterclass in how to start and run a business,” explains Jaromir. “I was lucky to have great bosses. My boss at the logistics company explained the core business, allowed me to observe in the office and mentored me on how to start my own company.” Today, WELL PACK does a lot more than move packages and wash food containers. It has the largest packing and assembly capacity in the Czech Republic, and offers 3PL and 4PL logistics services, fulfilment solutions, e-commerce logistics, auditing and implementation, and warehousing in their multi-client warehouses – managed with a powerful warehouse management system... https://wellpack.org/leadership
