Founded in 1984 and formally grouped in 2008, the company runs multimodal RO/RO freight services combining road, sea, and air transport across more than 20 countries, executing roughly 25,000 international transports per year. Its commercial focus is B2B enterprise, serving eight verticals — automotive, fashion and textile, agro-food, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, ADR/IMO dangerous goods, spot campaigns, and high-value goods — with dedicated account management from ten offices.

The operating backbone is an owned fleet of 1,450 semi-trailers (tautliner, mega-volume, reefer, container, and platform) supported by 11 logistics platforms and 36 hubs covering approximately 41,000 m² of warehousing and 120,000 m² of parking. Telematics is delivered through GPS/WEB satellite fleet monitoring with remote temperature monitoring for reefer units, and the Tunis-Rades platform adds 9,500 automated rack positions with FIFO/LIFO/LOT inventory management processing over 9,500 parcels per day at a stated 99.5% customer satisfaction rate. The group holds ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 27001, and 39001 certifications, AEOF customs authorization across EU and Tunisia, SQAS attestation, and HACCP-compliant agri-food operations.

The revenue model blends transaction-fee international freight (FTL and groupage), managed warehousing and value-added logistics services billed monthly, professional services for customs documentation and North Africa market-entry consulting, ad valorem and CMR insurance, and short- to long-term vehicle rental under the Vectorys Rent brand. Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-field-sales oriented, with direct account teams across European and North African offices supplemented by WCA World Cargo Alliance membership for global reach. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The holding company Vectorys Invest SAS controls all five operating subsidiaries; no external private equity or venture capital ownership is indicated.
