A leading player in multimodal transport, the GEODIS Road Transport Line of Business is expanding its network in Europe with the introduction of a road-rail solution linking the Paris region with northern Italy.

Officially launched on January 18, the line links Noisy-le-Sec in France to Novara in Italy and is intended to offer an alternative to road transport.

On a booked path, GEODIS operates 3 rotations per week (i.e. 6 round trips) and offers a loading capacity of 240 ITUs[1]per week. This represents a saving of up to 75% in greenhouse gas emissions[2].

Daniele Bernardi, Managing Director of the GEODIS Road Transport Line of Business in Italy, said: “We are delighted to be able to offer a road-rail solution to our customers including delivery to or from France, for packaged products as well as liquids or powders; hazardous materials or waste. A single loading unit is used from the sender to the recipient (swap bodies, box containers and tanks). All our container carriers are equipped with GPS beacons to guarantee safety and real-time information.”

Marc Vollet, Director of Operations and Multimodal for the GEODIS Road Transport Line of Business, added: “As the French leader in multimodal transport, we continue to develop rail-road solutions in Europe. This new France-Italy route provides our customers with additional capacity for cross-border multimodal transport and it emits three times less CO₂ than transport by road.”

This project is part of the GEODIS Road Transport Line of Business’ “Green” strategy. It operates more than 100 trains per week on the European network.

GEODIS’ growth-focused offerings (Supply Chain Optimization, Freight Forwarding, Contract Logistics, Distribution & Express, and Road Transport), coupled with the company’s truly global reach thanks to a global network spanning nearly 170 countries, is reflected by its top business rankings: no. 1 in France and no. 7 worldwide. In 2020, GEODIS employed over 41,000 people globally and generated €8.4 billion in revenue.

GEODIS today announced it has expanded GEODIS MyParcel, a direct-to-customer intercontinental delivery service, to Canada to allow brands to continue growing their e-Commerce business on a global scale. GEODIS MyParcel was first launched in 2020 to offer a small parcel delivery service from the U.S. to 27 European countries, with the goal of progressively expanding globally as seen with the addition of the Canadian market.

As a byproduct of the COVID-19 pandemic, cross-border e-Commerce activity has grown drastically as consumers have altered buying behaviors by increasingly turning to the online purchase of goods. According to Statista, global retail e-Commerce sales reached $4.3 trillion in 2020 and is expected to jump to $5.4 trillion in 2022. In particular, eMarketer reported the Canadian retail e-Commerce market grew by an astounding 75% in 2020, the second fastest-growing market globally. Canadian e-Commerce sales are predicted to top $500 billion in 2022.

“With no end in sight for current cross-border e-Commerce trends, it is vital brands today implement international shipping into their operations to meet demand and remain competitive,” said Manoj Pankaj, Vice President of Cross-border e-Commerce | B2C Shipping at GEODIS in Americas. “With the expansion of GEODIS MyParcel into Canada, we are enabling our customers to further strengthen their international presence and growth potential by accessing a new, rapidly growing market.”

The International Post Corporation reports that 25% of global customers cited a long delivery time as the top issue related to cross-border e-Commerce. To help navigate this challenge, GEODIS MyParcel guarantees fast, reliable delivery within 4-6 days to meet customer demand. GEODIS MyParcel also features a tax and customs duty calculator displayed at the shopping cart level to provide complete price transparency to customers before the transaction is completed, which can improve overall client satisfaction by eliminating surprise fees upon delivery.

“Ultimately, GEODIS MyParcel is designed to offer the right balance between speed and price at a transparent, total landed cost,” said Pankaj. “As a result of GEODIS’ end-to-end global transportation network, fully integrated digital platform and deep e-Commerce expertise across a team of logistics professionals, GEODIS MyParcel provides domestic e-Commerce brands with a simple way to go global.”

GEODIS plans to continue expanding GEODIS MyParcel into new geographical areas in the future.

American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (AEO) taps GEODIS for its strategic operations in Japan and omnichannel growth in the market for their leading American Eagle and Aerie brands. This contract comes amidst explosive growth of opportunities on e-Commerce platforms around the world.

GEODIS, a global leading transport and logistics services provider, today announced that AEO has awarded its Japan office the contract to support the retailer’s distribution center. According to economists at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), global e-Commerce growth has seen a dramatic rise across retail sales fueled by COVID-19, with a jump from 16 to 19 percent in 2020. AEO has partnered with GEODIS to support its growth, beginning in Japan, and anticipates eventually expanding the brands to other markets in Asia and other regions in the coming months. 

Chris Cahill, Managing Director, North Asia Sub-Region of GEODIS said: “Retail brands are reaching their customers in unprecedented fashion as they shop for their favorite items anytime and anywhere, and GEODIS is proud to be the appointed logistics provider to deliver AEO products into the hands of customers in the shortest amount of time possible no matter where they reside in Japan.”

The retailer’s ambitious growth as an online brand demonstrates its continued resonance with customers in Japan and the region. Over the years, AEO has maintained a closeness to its Japan customer base, now enhanced by the presence of its distribution center run by GEODIS, which will cut down lengthy delivery times through a centralized distribution model from a single location to ensure customers have the best experience. 

Chauhan Vijay, Senior Vice President – International at AEO said: “This partnership with GEODIS provides AEO the agility, flexibility and reach to bring our leading brands–and our signature American Eagle jeans and Aerie’s comfortable, cozy apparel and intimates–to our customers faster and more efficiently.  GEODIS’ logistical capabilities enable us to further enhance our omnichannel experience and provide the very best for our customers by making it easier to shop our brands. AEO products are now within easy reach, no matter from wherever the customers are shopping in Japan.”

In 2020, GEODIS employed over 41,000 people globally and generated €8.4 billion in revenue.

To accommodate the growth of its retail customers, GEODIS has opened a new 17.000 sqm warehouse in Almere and will also add a 9.000 sqm facility in Venlo.

While awaiting the construction of its 130.000 sqm logistics campus at Trade Port Noord planned for the end of 2023, GEODIS is extending its activities to offer additional capacity for its customers. The Group has opened a new site in Almere in November and is preparing the opening of another one in Venlo, due to be operational in the coming weeks. It is planned that both sites will be equipped with latest automation technologies. Among them are autonomous mobile robots from Locus Robotics to support the picking process and reduce the physical demands on employees by eliminating the need to pull pick carts and by decreasing overall travel.

GEODIS currently has a 16.000 sqm retail warehouse in Almere, which means the capacity there has doubled. “This expansion is needed since the pandemic has caused a significant overperformance of many of our current customers and to host our new customers” says Mark van den Assem, Managing Director of GEODIS in the Benelux. ING reports that retail in the Netherlands has grown by 6% in 2020 and another 1.5% in 2021. “Especially companies with an omnichannel approach are expected to increase their business even more,” points out van den Assem. “In order to provide these multi-channel retailers with a long-term logistics solution at the highest possible service level and efficiency, additional warehousing space was needed.”

“We can see the rising demand for e-logistics not only in the Netherlands but throughout Europe and are eager to support our customers in not only achieving their targets but also to be their growth partner” says Thomas Kraus, President & CEO of GEODIS North, East and Central Europe. “The expansion of the warehouse space in the Netherlands combined with our expertise in e-logistics, marks another important milestone towards our growth ambitions.”

The two buildings have a BREEAM ‘Good’ certification. BREEAM is a world-known sustainability assessment method for buildings [1], which underlines GEODIS’ dedication towards sustainable logistics.

GEODIS has now almost 220.000 sqm of warehouses in the Netherlands, including Venlo, Amsterdam, Almere & Rotterdam.

GEODIS has acquired Transports Perrier, a specialist in the transportation of palletized loads. The leader in LTL[1] transport in Poland following the recent acquisition of the PEKAES Group, GEODIS is expanding its capacity in its historical market and establishing a palletized transport network in France.

With its current positioning primarily based on carrying full loads and part-loads, the GEODIS Road Transport Line of Business now intends to strengthen its service offering in the LTL segment (1 to 6 pallets), in response to growth in market demand.

Transports Perrier is a company that was created in 1955. It specializes in delivering palletized shipments and operates a fleet of 410 vehicles. It employs 260 people, including 160 drivers.

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

“Our customers are looking for solutions for distributing shipments of 1 to 6 pallets within France,” said Olivier Royer, Executive Vice President of the GEODIS Road Transport Line of Business. “This demand has grown with the rise of e-commerce. This new acquisition adds to GEODIS’ existing resources and provides it with a supplementary network of locations throughout the country. For our customers, it will be a guarantee of reliable, high-quality service.”

The GEODIS Road Transport Line of Business employs over 4,300 people at 95 sites spread across 18 European countries.

Leading global transport and logistics services provider GEODIS has established a new sorting center in Schoten, near Antwerp, as well as a new office located within the airport of Liege. The first will facilitate the expansion of one of its largest international e-Commerce customers into the Belgian market. The second is intended to reinforce GEODIS’ e-Commerce footprint in Europe.

In Schoten, the new 6300 m² sorting center will host between 100 to 150 express trucks per day. In order to process up to 20,000 parcels daily (140,000 per week) and ensure the fastest possible delivery times, the facility will operate 24/7. 

At Grâce-Hollogne, near Liege, the new GEODIS office is in the heart of the airport; the seventh largest for air freight in Europe, renowned for its expertise in e-Commerce. The strategic location of the new office, within the Amsterdam-Paris-Frankfurt golden triangle, will provide a connection between the Asian and North American continents and GEODIS’ European multimodal distribution network.

“For our customers, this means access to more than 250 million consumers in less than a day by road, also via barge connections from Liege to Antwerp, Rotterdam and on to the Rhine; as well as through air and rail connectivity with China from Zhengzhou, Yiwu and Chengdu,” says Mark van den Assem, Managing Director of GEODIS for Benelux.

“Investing in the expansion of our e-Commerce logistics activities is an essential part of our growth strategy”, confirms Thomas Kraus, GEODIS President & CEO North, East and Central Europe. “The world is seeing an unprecedented growth of e-Commerce volumes, at a time of capacity constraints in the global transport market. GEODIS is underlining its ability to provide both, capacity through its own controlled network and logistics competence on the ground; this significantly strengthens our position in Belgium.”

De toonaangevende wereldwijde logistieke dienstverlener GEODIS heeft een nieuw sorteercentrum in Schoten, nabij Antwerpen geopend en een kantoor bij de luchthaven van Luik.  De eerstgenoemde locatie faciliteert de entree op de Belgische markt van een van de grootste e-commerce klanten van GEODIS. De tweede locatie verstevigt de e-Commerce dekking van het bedrijf in Europa. 

Het sorteercentrum van 6300m2 zal per dag tussen de 100 en 150 express-vrachtwagens ontvangen. De locatie is 24 uur per dag en zeven dagen open om de dagelijkse stroom van 20.000 pakketjes (140.000 per week) te verwerken.

Het  nieuwe kantoor in Grâce-Holllogne, nabij Luik, is gelegen in het hart van Liège Airport; dat bekend staat om zijn e-commerce expertise en het zevende vrachtvliegveld van Europa is. Het nieuwe kantoor is strategisch gelegen in de gouden driehoek Amsterdam-Parijs-Frankfurt, en verbindt het Aziatische en Noord Amerikaans continent met het Europese multimodale distributienetwerk van GEODIS.

“Dit betekent dat onze klanten, in minder dan een dag, meer dan 250 miljoen consumenten kunnen bereiken via de weg maar ook via binnenvaart routes vanuit Luik naar Antwerpen, Rotterdam en richting de Rijn. Tevens is er een uitstekkende verbinding met China door de lucht en via het spoor vanaf Zhengzhou, Yiwu en Chengdu, ” zegt Mark van den Assem, Managing Director GEODIS Benelux.

“Investeringen om onze activiteiten op het gebied van e-commerce logistiek uit te breiden zijn een essentieel onderdeel van onze groeistrategie”, bevestigt Thomas Kraus, President & CEO van GEODIS in Noord-, Oost- en Centraal-Europa. “We hebben te maken met een ongeëvenaarde groei van e-commerce volumes ten tijde van capaciteitsproblemen op de wereldwijde transport markt. GEODIS heeft het vermogen via het ‘own controlled network’ van het bedrijf capaciteit te bieden en combineert dit met de juiste logistieke competenties ter plaatse; dit versterkt onze positie in België aanzienlijk.”

With a total of 110,000 sqm new warehousing space opened in October across two new sites in the UK, leading global transport and logistics services provider GEODIS significantly increases its Contract Logistics operation in Europe’s third biggest retail market*. 

Driven by demand for contract logistics services as a consequence of the retail e-commerce boom that is no less apparent in the UK market than elsewhere in Europe, GEODIS has opened two new facilities: 40,000 sqm warehouse in the North of England in Doncaster and a 70,000 sqm logistics site at Lutterworth in the East Midlands region, providing employment for nearly 600 (1,200 during the peak season). 

Established in response to the increase in sales volumes of a high-profile international online retailer, the facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art automated technology, 18-meter, high-density racking and provide a combined capacity for processing up to 1.5 million units per week. 

GEODIS plans to double its contract logistics operations in the UK, in-line with its growth plans to become a top 15 operator in the market within the next 5 years.

Stéphanie Hervé is COO, Western Europe, Middle East and Africa for GEODIS. “Retailers are beefing up their ability to supply the burgeoning e-commerce sector via a nationally based distribution network”, she comments.  “Our response is to help our established customers grow and to attract additional business with our skills and experience augmented by our innovative and specially designed IT/automated solutions for the online retail sector.”

Both locations are well-located in terms of access to national road networks and distribution to centers of population across the country will therefore be facilitated. Doncaster as well as Lutterworth are in areas of concentrated logistics and warehousing activity. Alketa Idrizi, GEODIS’ Human Resources Director in the UK, recognizes the current challenges in recruiting both locally and across the UK as a whole. “GEODIS has an enviable track record in caring for and training its staff,” she emphasizes. “Our image of a socially aware and inclusive employer, with a reputation for diversity in our human resource policies is well-founded and leads to a high level of staff retention.  We are confident that these commitments to staff welfare will encourage a high caliber of applicant to join our new operations.”

Sustained innovation and high service quality place GEODIS at the very top of the Best Logistics Service Provider category

The Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain (AFLAS) annual awards celebrate exemplary leadership and relationship management as well as top-notch solutions within the industry. The awards set the benchmark for service provider excellence amongst air and shipping lines, airports, and seaports, as well as third-party logistics and other associated industries.

With bottlenecks at major ports, container pileups, and shipment delays, project logistics providers—handling customers with complex and oversized transport requirements—have been pushed to quickly adapt and uncover new methods to meet the relentless demand of these large-scale projects. Despite this difficult climate, GEODIS has been recognized for tackling the constraints of these challenges with fresh, robust, and targeted solutions. This includes seamlessly navigating the complex technical requirements present in transporting high voltage transformers as well as delivering specialized solutions across surface, barge and ocean transportation. 

“Our Project Logistics services are centered around innovation and designing ways in which we can re-configure our customers’ needs and dilemmas into a seamless, cost-effective and reliable road map,” said Chris Cahill, Managing Director, North Asia Sub Region. “We are honored to have these ongoing efforts recognized and will continue to deliver quality solutions that can carry our customers’ businesses forward.”

“We have always been, and will continue to be, a pioneer in the Project Logistics sector, rising up to new challenges with dynamic and reliable services, incorporating cutting-edge engineering logistics, tailored specifically to meet the unique requirements of every project,” added Frederic de Prat, Regional Director, Asia Pacific. “We aim to keep growing and innovating, especially amidst such uncertain times, in order to stay ahead of the curve.”

It’s the ideal stepping-stone for GEODIS growth in Sweden.”

Managing Director of GEODIS in Scandinavia, Magnus Tornerhjelm sees the new facility’s location as a particular asset.  “This new, strategically positioned facility provides a solid logistical base. It is an answer to the warehousing and logistics needs of our current and future customers while also allowing them to benefit from a last mile distribution network,” he said.

Global leading transport and logistics provider wins top award for redefining leadership in the logistics sector

GEODIS has been named ‘Best Leadership Development Program for Top Management’ at the 2021 Asia’s Training & Development Excellence Awards. Hosted by the World HRD Congress and the Employer Branding Institute, the annual event identifies outstanding talent and development initiatives from organizations across Asia, while celebrating the best practices in employer branding and Human Resources (HR).

The pandemic has undoubtedly changed the inner workings of the supply chain, prompting logistics service providers to explore alternative routes and sourcing strategies; this in addition to investing in digital transformation solutions that meet the rising expectations for operational efficiency through already overwhelmed freight channels. Such complexities have heightened the need for businesses to ensure employees have the necessary support, skills and mindset to not only adapt, but to thrive within a rapidly changing market environment.

Applying a human design centered approach to leadership has thus become a core aspect of GEODIS’ long-term strategy. In particular, the Executive Leadership Program for the senior management team, comprising 132 global board members and leaders, ensures GEODIS’ leaders have the skillsets and resources to make well-informed strategic decisions amidst the industry’s complex climate. This two-year program (2020-2022), delivered by Harvard Business School, features a comprehensive curriculum covering key business issues such as customer centricity, leading in adversity, and CSR and sustainability.

Mario Ceccon, Executive Vice President Group Human Resources, GEODIS, said: “We are very pleased to have our Executive Leadership Program recognized by the jury at the Employer Branding Institute. This is a much-valued testament to GEODIS’ continued efforts to become not just an employer of choice, but also a company that has the foresight and capabilities to take the company even further”.

Onno Boots, President and Chief Executive Officer, Asia Pacific, GEODIS, said: “Given the persistence of change sweeping the industry, it is more crucial than ever for our team to have the skills required to respond to, what are now every-day challenges.  Training and development programs are therefore crucially important to us.  We already have plans in place to further scale up our training initiatives across all levels.”

GEODIS is currently gearing up for the next phase of its leadership program, with new modules and sessions in the pipeline to maintain the company’s competitive advantage in a post-pandemic era.
