R-Logistic Group

What R-Logistic Group does

R-Logistic Group, legally R-Logistic SAS, is a Paris-incorporated (54 rue de Londres, 75008 Paris) integrated multimodal logistics operator headquartered in France with operating assets across West and Central Africa. Founded in 2017 but claiming more than 35 years of operating heritage, the company runs 14 agencies across at least 9 francophone African countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Togo) and serves enterprise clients in mining, oil & gas, industrial, agricultural, commodity trading, and military logistics. Its service portfolio spans road, maritime, and air transportation; port and terminal management and stevedoring; shipping agency and husbandry; freight forwarding including cross-trade and industrial projects; customs house brokerage for commodities such as cocoa, cashew, and cotton; and airport supervision and ground handling.

The technology layer consists of the TRACK & TRACE system, a group-developed real-time visibility platform that allows customers to monitor shipments to and from Africa across all transport modes. The business model is service-fee and transaction-fee based: revenue is generated through quoted rates calculated by cargo nature, weight, volume, route, and regulations, with payment terms of cash on receipt or up to 30 days for credit-granted customers. Sales is direct-to-enterprise through the regional agency network, with marketing support from industry events (AntwerpXL 2021), a corporate website, and social media.

R-Logistic operates as a subsidiary of R-Logitech group, which is itself owned by Monaco Resources Group, a Monaco-based diversified conglomerate; synergies are developed with sister company EUROPORTS, which operates Continental Europe's largest breakbulk terminal (TA1207) in Antwerp. Leadership is structured around two regional Co-General Managers — Denys Vaillant (West Africa, based in Senegal) and Sébastien Favier (Central Africa, based in Lomé, Togo) — appointed in April 2021, with Joaquin Gomez-Yanci serving as Group Deputy CEO.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• DSV: Acquisition-heavy global freight forwarder expanding in Africa. Comparable on multimodal forwarding and customs but competes with R-Logistic on price-sensitive forwarding lanes.
• DHL Global Forwarding: Global freight forwarding and customs brokerage incumbent with growing African density. Overlaps with R-Logistic on multimodal forwarding, customs, and serving multinational extractives clients, though at vastly larger scale and with broader product suite.
• Maersk Logistics & Services: Integrated container shipping and logistics provider; comparable on ocean freight forwarding and customs but less specialized in African non-containerized/breakbulk cargo where R-Logistic focuses.
• Agility Logistics: Global freight forwarding and contract logistics player with emerging African footprint. Comparable on multimodal forwarding and customs brokerage targeting industrial/mining clients.
• DB Schenker: Global logistics integrator with African forwarding presence in land transport, air, ocean, and customs. Competes with R-Logistic for European multinational clients shipping into/out of Africa.
• CEVA Logistics: Global contract logistics and freight management provider with African operations. Overlaps with R-Logistic on contract freight forwarding and serving extractives/industrial customers.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Global freight forwarder with established African operations across air, sea, road, and customs. Comparable in multimodal product breadth and serving multinational clients, but with greater investment in digital freight platforms.

Regional players

• Imperial Logistics: South Africa-headquartered multimodal logistics provider serving mining, commodities, and industrial clients across sub-Saharan Africa. Comparable in customer verticals and Africa complexity focus, but with primary geographic base in Southern rather than West/Central Africa.

Direct peers

• Africa Global Logistics (AGL, formerly Bolloré Transport & Logistics): Direct competitor with the most comparable African footprint and service mix — operates port terminals, freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and logistics services across West and Central Africa. Direct peer to R-Logistic on geography, customers (mining, oil & gas, commodities), and multimodal service breadth.
• Necotrans: French-African multimodal logistics specialist with deep African port, freight forwarding, and oil & gas logistics operations. Notably, R-Logistic Co-CEO Sébastien Favier previously held direction roles at Necotrans, evidencing direct operational overlap.
