Geodis takes over Transports Perrier

The global supply chain operator Geodis has acquired Transports Perrier, a specialist in the transportation of palletised shipments, to further expand its palletised transport network in France, following the recent acquisition of the Pekaes Group.

With its current positioning primarily based on carrying full loads and part-loads, the Geodis Road Transport Line of Business now intends to expand its capacity by lengthening its service offering in the less-than-truckload (LTL) segment (1 to 6 pallets), and partial truckload logistics (PTL) as a response to the grown market demand.

Currently, the logistics company Transports Perrier is operating a fleet of 410 vehicles and employs 260 people, including 160 drivers, according to a statement.

Located at key intersection points on some of the major transport routes throughout Transports Perrier’s five sites in France, Lons-Le-Saunier, Lunéville, Noves, Seiche sur-le-Loir and Liévin, the French company will become part of the Geodis Road Transport Line of Business which comprises approximately 800 drivers and more than 1,000 vehicles.

“This new acquisition adds to Geodis’ existing resources and provides it with a supplementary network of locations throughout the country,” said Olivier Royer, Executive Vice President of the GEODIS Road Transport Line of Business, who pointed out this acquisition will offer customers a guarantee of reliable, high-quality service.
