Our goal

We aim to offer a human and direct approach, reducing the number of intermediaries, and providing logistics and transport know-how entirely dedicated to your service.

In order to reduce the risk of parking and detention cost, we chose :

to have our own team of operating agents, based in Laval (53, Mayenne), as close as possible to the transport and logistics teams, for tenfold group synergy

to control all land-based operations in France, with the support of 32 TCM trucks and 50 container chassis and benefit from our network of transporters, Evolutrans, throughout France.

to find the best conditions for you with shipping lines (rates, transit time, etc.), as we are both a customer and a supplier to the companies (state, national and international).

Organising and managing the supply chain for your international flows

Our services

Freight forwarding: organization of international sea, air and road freight, from the most conventional to the most technical (ADR, temperature-controlled, etc.).

Customs brokerage: import/export formalities, advice, audit and organization of procedures

Tailor-made logistics with or without consolidation in our dedicated warehouses (Laval 53 Mayenne, Balgau 68 Haut-Rhin, Nîmes 30 Gard): general, high value-added, hazardous or customs goods
