GEODIS MARKS 30 YEARS IN VIETNAM

Geodis marked 30 years of operations in Vietnam, where it works with international and local customers across the FMCG, retail, luxury, high‑tech and industrial sectors.

 

The company established its Vietnam presence in 1995 and has since expanded to nearly 200 employees, with offices in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi and eight warehouses nationwide.

 

Initially focused on European import and export activity, Geodis now supports a range of Vietnamese, European and American companies manufacturing, sourcing and distributing in the country.

 

Geodis Vietnam's services include freight forwarding, customs brokerage, trade compliance, project logistics, warehousing and supply chain management.

 

Geodis noted that Vietnam is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, with its GDP is projected to reach US$510 billion this year, placing it 32nd globally.

 

Meanwhile, economic growth is expected to exceed 8% this year, positioning Vietnam one of the top 20 global trading nations and reinforcing its strategic importance within global trade.

 

"Vietnam's remarkable economic progress has positioned it as one of the world’s fastest growing economies," said Eric Martin Neuville, regional president and CEO.

 

"As companies increasingly diversify their sourcing strategies in response to global geopolitical changes, Vietnam has emerged as a key option for resilient and agile supply chains. I want to congratulate our Vietnam team for their unwavering commitment to accompany the growth of our customers , helping them build strong, flexible supply chains in , to and from Vietnam over the past 30 years. I am excited for what we will achieve together in the years ahead."

 

To mark the three-decade milestone, Geodis launched a celebratory brand campaign, underlining its long-term commitment to the Vietnamese market. The campaign reinforces Geodis' brand promise "A better way to deliver" and purpose: "Serving people by delivering their goods all around the world with innovative, sustainable and ethical logistics."

 

Keeping with global shifts in manufacturing and sourcing trends and Vietnam's increasing importance as a logistics and manufacturing hub, Geodis said it plans on continually enhancing its end-to-end capabilities.

 

Recent investments include the expansion of their warehouse in Long Binh catering to the luxury, fashion, sportswear, retail, high tech and industrial sectors. Aligning with Geodis' commitment to sustainability, the customs-bonded warehouse features solar panels for energy efficiency.

 

GEODIS has also extended their highly secured, daily scheduled, day-definite road freight service connecting Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and China, catering to hi tech and industrial customers.
