GEODIS establishes first multi-service port hub in Le Havre, France

GEODIS, a leading global logistics provider, today announced the establishment of its first port hub in France, located in Le Havre, at the heart of the country’s leading container port. This integrated logistics location provides GEODIS customers with a comprehensive end-to-end solution to streamline their import-export operations and enhance their competitiveness in international markets.

Strategically located within the Port of Le Havre, a key gateway for French foreign trade, the site marks GEODIS’ first integrated port hub in France. With more than 3.2 million containers handled in 2025 and connections to over 700 ports worldwide, Le Havre is France’s largest container port and a key entry point for international trade.

GEODIS’ Le Havre hub brings the Group’s four lines of business – distribution and express parcel delivery, international freight forwarding (by sea, air, rail and including customs operations), European road transport, and contract logistics – all together at a single site. This integrated organization enables end-to-end management of the entire supply chain, from the routing of goods to final delivery. Further, it facilitates the optimization of flows, reduces handling disruptions and guarantees GEODIS’ customers a higher level of responsiveness, flexibility and operational performance.

GEODIS employs more than 800 specialists dedicated to managing complex supply chains in Le Havre, and handled more than 250,000 containers at the port in 2025. Its facilities comprise over 200,000 square meters of logistics space, including 150,000 square meters located within the fully bonded port area, as well as a 20,000-square-meter bonded container yard designed to accommodate peak volumes and urgent operations.

At its new Le Havre hub, the Group offers tailor-made logistics solutions adapted to the specific requirements of each customer and all types of cargo, including fast-moving consumer goods, temperature-controlled products, industrial equipment and hazardous materials. Thanks to its direct presence within the port area, GEODIS benefits from privileged access to port terminals and infrastructure, enabling smoother import-export operations and reduced processing times for its customers.

“GEODIS has chosen Le Havre based on its standing as an international hub, its further connections across America and Asia, and the opportunity it presents for managing our clients’ international trade flows. Our Le Havre hub brings our expertise on a single site to offer our clients comprehensive export solutions covering every stage of the flow, from the arrival of the container to the final delivery,” stated Marie-Christine Lombard, Chief Executive Officer of GEODIS.
