Salesky Group

What Salesky Group does

Salesky Group is a French temperature-controlled logistics provider founded in 1946 and headquartered in Sablé-sur-Sarthe. It operates six regional production subsidiaries (Salesky Ouest, Auvergne, Bourgogne, Bretagne, Nord, and 2Savoie) plus one administrative shared-services subsidiary (SYSKALE), positioning warehouses and depots along France's primary corridors (A6 motorway, North-South and East-West axes) and into Belgium and Switzerland. The company has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Groupe MOUSSET-JETRANSPORTE since 2022.

The group's service portfolio comprises three core offerings: refrigerated transport in full (lot complet) and partial (demi-lot) loads under positive, negative, and bi-temperature regimes; groupage and dégroupage (consolidation and deconsolidation) of fresh products to reduce cost-per-kilometer; and refrigerated warehousing with inventory management and order preparation. The supporting technology stack is a transportation management system integrated with GPS-based real-time tracking, live cargo temperature monitoring, telematics, and end-to-end traceability exposed to customers through a dedicated client portal. The fleet comprises 150 recent refrigerated vehicles and operations span 10,000 m² across five logistics platforms.

Salesky monetizes its services through B2B contractual relationships with no publicly disclosed pricing; revenue streams are structured as transaction fees for transport and consolidation services and managed-services fees for cold storage. Customers are concentrated in four verticals: large food retailers (GMS), out-of-home catering and foodservice (RHF), wholesalers (grossistes), and food manufacturers (industriels de l'agroalimentaire). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with regional subsidiary directors managing key accounts, supported by the GROOPAL network for extended last-mile coverage. Additional capabilities include the Plan Hermès road-safety program in place since 2013 and an ObjectifCO2-affiliated low-emission transport initiative.
