supply chains and their portfolio already includes the biggest players in the market," the French logistics company said.

"In order to give an extra dimension to this promising vertical market, Bolloré Logistics has appointed

customers. He is a true professional and his knowledge of the company will enable him to develop
operational, human and commercial synergies within our global network," said Olivier Boccara,

 processes that reduce costs while ensuring continuity of production, using an approach of just-in-time
delivery and on-demand manufacturing," Bolloré  said.
