What Jacky Perrenot does

Jacky Perrenot is a privately held French transportation and logistics group founded in 1945 and headquartered in Saint-Donat-sur-l'Herbasse, France. It operates as a vertically integrated platform spanning freight transport (general cargo, temperature-controlled, container, bulk liquid/solid, ADR hazardous, automotive, and exceptional convoys), contract logistics across 30+ sites with 300,000+ m² of warehousing under the WMS Reflex warehouse management system, vehicle rental, and 4PL control tower services. Its technology stack centers on IoT-enabled fleet telematics (real-time vehicle tracking, route optimization, ETA prediction, predictive maintenance), EDI and API integrations with customer platforms, and a Customer Portal for document and flow management, supplemented by two methanization facilities in Brittany that produce BioGNC to fuel its own alternative-energy fleet of 1,300+ green trucks.

The group serves a primarily B2B customer base of roughly 6,000 clients across five verticals: Large-Scale Distribution (56% of revenue, including Lidl, Carrefour, Casino, Système U, Monoprix), Manufacturing Industry (23%), Consumer Products (16%, e.g., Danone, Ferrero, Puma, Celio), Energy and Network (3%), and Chemical/Oil & Gas (2%). It also operates a B2C home delivery franchise (VIR by JP, TAMDIS by JP, AB HOME by JP, ArrowXL by JP HOME) handling ~2.5 million last-mile deliveries per year, plus specialized acquired brands such as PERRENOT Containers (400+ chassis), PERRENOT Le Calvez (cold chain and poultry), PERRENOT Distribike (two-wheeled vehicles), and PERRENOT Industries (cable drums). Itself the second-largest French transporter, the group employs 10,000+ across 200+ sites in France and ten European countries.

Revenue is generated predominantly through negotiated multi-year B2B contracts (transaction-fee per shipment and managed-services fees for warehousing/4PL), supplemented by subscription-style vehicle rental. Long-term agreements with major retail clients (e.g., Lidl, Carrefour 5-year diesel-exit commitments) lock in volume and provide multi-year revenue visibility. The company has financed growth through an aggressive acquisition strategy (over 20 deals since 2013, including the €400M Vos Logistics deal closed April 2026 and ArrowXL in June 2025) supported by PE capital from EMZ and SIPAREX ETI, reaching €1.3 billion in 2025 revenue.
