What Dupessey & Co does
DUPESSEY&CO is a French independent transport and logistics group founded in 1955 by Serge Dupessey and headquartered in Rumilly (Haute-Savoie). The company operates an integrated road transport and contract logistics platform serving industrial and manufacturing clients across France and Southern Europe, with subsidiaries and offices in Italy (Torino, Trofarello), Spain (Barcelona, Madrid), and Bulgaria. It employs approximately 550 people and operates a fleet of roughly 800 vehicles (300 EURO 6 truck engines, 500 semi-trailers, 30 B100/gas engines), with 75% of transport carried out in-house and the balance via an exclusive partner panel of approximately 500 additional engines.
The group's service offering spans full loads (FTL) and partial loads (LTL) for general, hazardous, and temperature-controlled cargo, vehicle rental with driver, flow management/freight forwarding, and contract logistics across 105,000 m² of warehouse space at 7 sites — including 26,000 m² of SEVESO-certified hazardous materials storage at Illzach and Hombourg. The technical backbone includes a proprietary Technical and Technological Direction managing the entire fleet, 100% geolocatable vehicles with onboard computers enabling real-time proof of delivery, 100% document dematerialization, and WMS Hardis (SaaS, deployed by integrator ACSEP) across warehouses. Energy infrastructure includes 7 electric charging stations at Corbas (Renault Trucks partnership), the proprietary SoGAZ CNG/biogas station, and B100 biofuel tanks via OLEO100.
DUPESSEY&CO generates revenue through four main streams: road transport services (FTL/LTL), managed contract logistics/warehousing, vehicle rental with driver, and multilingual flow management/freight forwarding. Pricing is quote-based with 30-day payment terms, and go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account management. The company is privately held by the Dupessey family under an SAS structure, led by CEO Emmanuel Andre (appointed 2021) with Carole Dupessey as President, and holds ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications plus three consecutive EcoVadis Silver Medals (top 15% in transport and logistics).
