Premat Transports

What Premat Transports does

Transports PREMAT is a French, family-owned road-transport operator headquartered in Le Plessis-Pâté (Essonne) and founded in 1925, legally held under Premat Investissements (Société Anonyme, RCS Evry 314 443 476). The group employs ~550 full-time staff across five Ile-de-France sites (Le Plessis-Pâté, Pierrelaye, Gretz-Armainvilliers, Marolles-sur-Seine, Gellainville) and operates a fleet of 500+ vehicles that complete 2,000+ deliveries daily and travel roughly 40 million kilometers per year.

The company runs a diversified, asset-heavy transport portfolio across eight customer-facing service lines plus three support lines: tipper and construction materials transport (Bennes et Matériels TP, including aggregates, asphalt, sweeping); petroleum and dangerous goods transport delivering to ~250 fuel stations daily from nine regional depots (Matières Dangereuses); food-grade and mineral pulverulent transport via 100% food-grade tankers (Produits Pulvérulents); exceptional/heavy-load transport up to 180 tonnes (Transports Exceptionnels); waste and environmental transport (Environnement, Déchets Liquides via ADR-certified tankers); road sweeping (Balayeuse); the PREJAM bulk-transport joint venture with Transports JAMET (2011); a commercial vehicle washing station (SPM); an in-house maintenance workshop (SPM) with 4 mobile workshop vans; and an approved in-house training organization. Differentiated technology stack includes real-time delivery tracking with dematerialized documentation, a DMS maintenance-tracking platform, QUALIMAT-TRANSPORT-certified tanker cleaning, and a recently expanded GNV Bio natural-gas refueling infrastructure.

Revenue is generated through B2B transaction-based transport fees (per delivery/transport operation) across recurring industrial and public-works contracts. Anchored enterprise customers include TotalEnergies Commerce Général (Nanterre) for daily petroleum distribution, Continental France for manufacturing transport, and a broad base of Travaux Publics companies for construction materials. Revenue is supplemented by third-party commercial washing services at the SPM station and internal maintenance billings. The company is led by President Philippe PREMAT with family ownership preserved across generations; capital social is €1,500,000. Certifications stack includes ISO 9001:2015 (petroleum), ISO 22000 (washing station food safety), ADR (dangerous goods), QUALIMAT-TRANSPORT (food-grade powders), Label Objectif CO2 (since 2015), and UN Global Compact signatory (since 2020).

Broad incumbents

• Geodis: French-headquartered global logistics subsidiary of SNCF, offering contract logistics, freight forwarding, and distribution across road, rail, air, and sea. Comparable to PREMAT in road-based freight services but operates at much larger scale and across geographies.
• STEF: French publicly listed cold-chain and specialized freight logistics group with national and European footprint. Comparable to PREMAT in temperature-controlled and food-grade capabilities (similar to Premat's QUALIMAT-TRANSPORT food-grade powders segment) but operates at materially larger scale across multiple geographies.
• Kuehne+Nagel France: Swiss-headquartered global freight forwarder and contract logistics provider with substantial French road transport operations. Comparable to PREMAT in B2B freight, but K+N operates across international and multimodal segments.
• XPO Logistics: Major European LTL (less-than-truckload) and truckload operator with French operations, including legacy Norbert Dentressangle. Comparable to PREMAT in specialized road freight but at substantially larger scale and with national European footprint.
• Dachser: German-headquartered global logistics provider with significant French road freight and contract logistics presence. Comparable in road-based B2B freight and food-grade logistics capabilities (DACHSER Food Logistics parallels PREMAT's QUALIMAT operations).
• DB Schenker France: European land transport and logistics operator (DB Schenker, now DSV) with road freight and contract logistics in France. Comparable to PREMAT in B2B freight but at larger scale with European network.

Direct peers

• Heppner: Family-owned French transport and logistics group providing specialized freight, multimodal, and customs services. Strongly comparable to PREMAT's profile as a privately held, multi-generational French carrier with diversified specialized services and similar enterprise-customer mix.
• Transalliance: French privately held transport and logistics group specializing in road freight, tanker transport, and bulk logistics across France and Europe. Highly comparable to PREMAT in dedicated B2B freight, tanker operations, and similar privately held mid-market profile.
• Transports Jamet: PREMAT's joint venture partner in PREJAM (formed 2011) for bulk TP/aggregates transport. Operates the same customer segment (public works, construction materials) with overlapping fleet types, making it the most direct peer for the construction materials vertical.

Regional players

• GLS France: Parcel and freight logistics provider focused on the French market within the broader European GLS network. Comparable in road-based B2B and B2C delivery in France, though focused on smaller parcels rather than PREMAT's heavy/bulk/exceptional loads.
