What Qualitair&Sea International Logistics does

Qualitair&Sea International Logistics is a France-headquartered multimodal freight forwarder and customs broker operating as part of DIMOTRANS Group. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Roissy-en-France near Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, the company coordinates international transport across air, sea, rail-road, and road modes, alongside customs brokerage, warehousing, time-critical and oversized cargo handling, and specialized event logistics. It is ranked the 7th largest French freight forwarder, employs 251–500 people, and maintains offices across France (Roissy CDG, Marseille, Marignane, Blagnac/Toulouse, Le Havre, Dijon), Germany, Morocco, and Turkey, serving enterprise and mid-market clients in 10+ verticals including aerospace, automotive, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, oil & gas, renewable energy, luxury goods, perishables, events, and fashion.

The company's core product is an integrated freight orchestration platform built around three primary transport modes (Fret Aérien, Fret Maritime, Fret Rail Route) supported by an in-house customs cell (RDE/OEA-certified), warehousing near CDG, 24/7 urgent transport (OBC, hand-carry), OOG/project cargo, dangerous goods (including Class 7 radioactive), and dedicated event logistics. Digital infrastructure includes the proprietary myqualitairsea client portal for real-time shipment tracking and a Wakeo integration for geolocation-based visibility. The company holds triple ISO certification (9001, 14001, 45001) from Bureau Veritas, Ecovadis Silver medal status (top 4% of sector in 2025, top 1% for environmental performance), and GDPR compliance, positioning it as a sustainability-forward forwarder.

Revenue is generated through transaction fees on freight forwarding (FCL/LCL, charter, OOG, combined Sea-Air), professional services fees for customs brokerage and compliance advisory, managed services for warehousing and distribution, and specialized transaction fees for time-critical and event logistics. Pricing is fully quote-based with no public pricing; the GTM motion combines direct enterprise field sales, inside sales handling over 3,500 qualification calls annually, and a dedicated client portal for ongoing account management. Distribution channels include direct enterprise sales, inside sales, the self-serve myqualitairsea portal, and the international office network.
