What Dispam does

Dispam (Groupe DISPAM), legally held by SAS 2M and headquartered in Le Pontet (Vaucluse, France), is a national reference in temperature-controlled (cold-chain) transport and logistics serving the French food industry. Founded in 1974, the company operates 9 regional platforms (API2M, AURADIS, KALEDIS, ERMIDIS, AXIO, DISPAM Le Pontet, DISPAM Tigery, HELIODIS, SELEDIS) covering all major French macro-regions — Île-de-France, PACA, Bourgogne, Normandie, Hauts-de-France, Grand Est, and Pays de la Loire. Its core services are refrigerated transport (including just-in-time / "flux tendu" delivery), refrigerated storage, order preparation, and end-to-end traceability for perishable food products under controlled positive and ambient temperature conditions (+4°C and ambient).

The company's operating infrastructure includes 51,000 m² of refrigerated warehouse space, a refrigerated truck fleet, and 850 employees handling approximately 980,000 tonnes of goods annually. It serves three primary customer segments: industrial agri-food producers, large-scale retail and specialized distribution chains, and food wholesalers — all B2B relationships managed through direct field sales across the regional agency network. The technology stack is asset-based physical infrastructure supplemented by a client/supplier portal (etms.sa2m.fr) and employee portal; no proprietary software products, public APIs, or AI capabilities are documented.

Commercially, Dispam generates service-based revenue from transport, logistics, and storage contracts, with a mix of recurring contracts and spot freight work typical of European cold-chain logistics. It is privately held under SAS 2M (declared capital €671,923), received a ~$12.7M growth equity round from Omnes Capital in December 2015, and has used subsequent years to densify its national network — opening SELEDIS in January 2024, ERMIDIS at Cholet and Gondreville in mid-2024, and announcing a further new platform for Q1 2025. Leadership is headed by President Pascal Masse, with Emilie Gilles (DRH) and Neil Parker (DSI) as additional named executives; the broader C-suite is not publicly disclosed.
