What FM Logistic does

FM Logistic is a family-owned third-party logistics (3PL) provider founded in 1967 and headquartered in Phalsbourg, France, operating across Europe, Asia, and Latin America. The company offers end-to-end supply chain services spanning warehousing, transport, co-packing, omnichannel fulfillment, and supply chain optimization, with a stated workforce of 27,762 people in its 2024/25 annual report and consolidated revenue of €1.9 billion. Its service architecture is built on a multi-client, multi-activity model (the "One Roof" concept), supported by proprietary digital platforms including My-SCM (real-time visibility) and Control Tower (orchestration), as well as AI-driven tools for warehouse picking-path optimization, document analysis on Google Cloud Vertex AI, warehouse routing via AlphaEvolve, and acquired automation technologies LOCIT and SprintBOX from Schäflein.

The company serves seven primary verticals — FMCG, retail and e-commerce, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, beauty and luxury, industrial and mobility, wine and spirits, and petcare — with named enterprise customers including Amazon, SEUR, and GLS (via the Madrid metro urban logistics corridor) and Motul (a 45,000 sqm dedicated hub in Nangis, France, opened June 2026). Revenue is generated through managed services contracts (warehousing, transport), co-packing, control tower subscriptions, and transaction-based e-commerce fulfillment fees, with custom quote-based pricing per client. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales via RFPs and tenders, complemented by public-private partnerships such as the Madrid Metro Line 3 last-mile corridor operated with CITYlogin.

The business model is asset-light, leveraging partner networks alongside owned facilities, and is supported by a recently expanded debt facility (a €320m refinancing completed May 2026, oversubscribed nearly 2x with 14 banks) and a majority-stake acquisition of German logistics provider Schäflein Group (announced June 2026, pending Bundeskartellamt clearance), which adds 35+ sites in Germany, Austria, and Poland and an estimated ~€230m in revenue. The company is targeting carbon neutrality for its warehousing activities by 2030 and has been certified as a Top Employer in France for 10 consecutive years.

Direct peers

• Geodis: French-headquartered global 3PL offering contract logistics, freight forwarding, and supply chain optimisation across Europe, the Americas, and APAC. The closest direct competitor to FM Logistic given overlapping geography (France, Eastern Europe, Latin America), customer base, and full multi-service 3PL platform.
• ID Logistics: French-origin international contract logistics specialist serving retail, FMCG, and e-commerce verticals. Operates multi-client warehouses across Europe, Latin America, and Asia with comparable scale (~€2bn revenue) and a similar focus on retail and FMCG fulfillment, making it a near-perfect comparable.
• CEVA Logistics: Global 3PL owned by CMA CGM providing contract logistics, freight management, and finished vehicle logistics. Highly comparable given multi-service 3PL model, FMCG/retail/industrial customer mix, and significant European footprint.
• GXO Logistics: Pure-play contract logistics provider focused on warehousing, e-commerce fulfillment, and reverse logistics for blue-chip customers. Comparable as a dedicated contract-logistics champion with technology-led value proposition similar to FM's My-SCM and Control Tower.
