News from Transports Coué

Coué Logistics warehouses in Laval are AEO certified for security, safety, customs compliance, and logistics performance

A New Step in Groupe Coué TRM’s Security and Safety Commitment

After SOTECAN INTERNATIONAL (Import/Export) and TCM (Transport de Container), it’s now Coué Logistics’ turn to earn AEO certification (Authorized Economic Operator) for its customs-bonded warehousing services.

This certification recognizes the reliability and security of our operations within the international logistics and supply chain.

With this recognition, our three certified entities benefit from a harmonized and secure framework, ensuring the safety and compliance of all client flows — from road transport to logistics and import-export — while facilitating exchanges with customs authorities.

A great collective achievement driven by the group’s ongoing commitment to continuous process improvement.

👏 Congratulations to all our teams!

Cereal tipper transport by Coué, bulk agricultural logistics for wheat, corn, soybeans, and sorghum.

We are expanding our range of transport solutions with a new activity launched from our Alsace site in Balgau: bulk agricultural transport with cereal tipper trailers.

Our new 54 m³ tipper trailer, equipped with an automatic roof opening system, now allows us to handle bulk agricultural loads such as wheat, corn, soybeans, and sorghum with complete safety and efficiency.

This seasonal transport service, running over several weeks, focuses on regional silo-to-silo transfers. A dedicated driver supports each trading partner throughout the season, ensuring continuous follow-up and top-quality service from start to finish.

The products carried are then processed for human and animal nutrition, contributing to the agri-food supply chain across the region.

Looking ahead, we plan to expand this service by leveraging our Qualimat / Oqualim certification, already obtained for our animal feed bulk tanker operations, a true guarantee of compliance, safety, and product integrity in the transport of feed and food materials.

Bulk Road Transport Animal Nutrition

🔄 Transition Underway!

📸 A new line of business at Coué/TRM for the past month, further expanding our range of expertise: bulk tanker transport of animal feed directly to farms.

Bulk transport refers to the delivery of unpackaged goods — that is, cargo shipped in large quantities without individual packaging (no boxes, no pallets). We differentiate between solid bulk (such as grains, aggregates, minerals or fertilizers) and liquid bulk, which requires the use of specialized tankers for products like fuels, food-grade liquids (wine, oils), or industrial effluents.

Bulk animal feed transport is a demanding and precise operation that fits perfectly within our strategy of delivering high-value, quality-driven services.

👍 Many thanks to Glenn for the update, and a warm welcome to our new expert drivers! ☀️
