FM Logistic in brief

Contact us

Since 1967, we’ve strived to deliver the right goods, to the right place, at the right time, for the good of all. We team up with committed partners and customers in the consumer products, retail, beauty and cosmetics, industrial manufacturing and healthcare sectors to act collectively and produce responsible supply chain models. We are pushing the boundaries so that by 2030, we will be recognised as the leader of sustainable omnichannel supply chains.

We are pioneering transportation pooling and the one-roof concept. We promote environmentally friendly co-packing solutions and carbon neutral warehouses. We work hard to optimize the way we use resources, continuously monitoring and improving our carbon footprint. We are developing innovative and sustainable omnichannel distribution with our urban solutions or our bulk finished goods offering. And we don’t stop there! Wherever we are, we become a committed and sustainable partner for local communities. Nothing would be possible without our collective inner passion and all the energy we share to create and carry out these actions. That’s why we strive to collectively and continuously improve our daily work life and the well-being of our teams.

  • “It has taken over 50 years to build our company and make it what it is today. Business life is a daily challenge, especially when a company is experiencing continuous strong growth, which has been the case for us.

    Our success has not been left to chance. It is based on a legacy of family values combined with entrepreneurship and common sense. With this example to follow and the desire to continue our history, the second generation has successfully taken the lead, with the same successful foundations.

    Today, the management teams combine these values with their own expertise and skills. It is therefore with shared pride and team strength that we continue to write our history on new continents.”

Our family business DNA

« A soft skill that embodies the imprint and soul of the company and contributes to the well-being of its employees”

“Our know-how through all of our businesses and in our multiple countries of establishment, all come along in the same way, in a soft skill characterized by the DNA of the family company..

This soft skill arises from the history of the company that wants to keep its independence, to develop its performance, to ensure its sustainability through motivated and committed Men and Women.

To give a purpose to our actions, to be committed every step of the way and to provide that atmosphere in the workspace ; All of these criterias are in order to develop the feeling of pride and belonging of the employees to the company.

The DNA that we find on all of our sites, which is complementary and in line with our values, embodies the imprint and soul of our family business, through actions focused on:

  • The FM identity which makes its singularity
  • The Human Capital at the heart of the company
  • Life at the heart of the company
  • The knowledge of the company by all employees

We are deeply committed to this way of being. Our challenge is to perpetuate this DNA through the international and multicultural development of the company. »
