What Transports Veynat does

Transports Veynat is a French, family-owned road transport company founded in 1884 in Tresses (Bordeaux) that specializes in the haulage of liquid foodstuffs across France and ten other European countries. Its core offering covers liquid food transport in tanker trucks (wine, fruit juices, dairy products, chocolate, liquid sugars, vegetable oils, glycerin, alcohol), dry/pulverulent bulk transport, agricultural dry bulk, palletized goods and a multimodal rail-road container solution; the group markets these capabilities under an integrated service methodology called Flow Expert. Underlying operations run on a proprietary transportation management system with onboard GPS and telematics, thermoregulated tanker equipment, an in-house national tank-washing network, technical maintenance workshops at each of its 23 sites, and a self-service web client portal (veynat.suivitransport.com) for shipment tracking.

The group generated €219M in 2025 turnover, employs approximately 1,300 people including 980 qualified drivers, and runs a fleet of 920 trucks, 960 tanks, 270 containers, 50 conventional sets and 30 dumppers across 23 operating entities. Revenue streams are diversified across six lines: tanker liquid food transport, dry bulk food transport, drinking and recycled water transport (Veynat Water Transport), integrated logistics and warehousing for packaged foods (Veynat Logistique), multimodal rail-road, and tank cleaning services. Pricing is quote-based and tailored by product, distance and volume, with commercial teams handling enterprise B2B relationships; longer-tail customers can self-serve through the web portal.

The firm holds an unusually deep stack of food-safety and customs certifications — ISO 22000:2018, IFS Logistics (91% score), ECOCERT, QUALIMAT, CEMAFROID, Kosher, GMP+, OEA/AEO and Label Objectif CO2 with ADEME — and ranks in the top 6% of road transport companies on the EcoVadis sustainability assessment (Bronze Medal 2026). It has actively expanded through M&A, completing three acquisitions between February 2024 and March 2025: Transports Klein (Alsace), Transports Fileyssant (Dordogne, adding milk collection) and the warehousing and storage activity of Mitjavile. The group is controlled by Pierre-Olivier Veynat through SAS Groupe Familial Veynat and SARL Pierre V, with Nicolas Combier as legal representative; no external institutional or private-equity ownership was identified in the source material.
