What TransProjets does

TransProjets is a French-headquartered freight forwarding and industrial project logistics firm founded in 2002, operating as TRANSPROJETS SA out of Antony in the Paris metropolitan area. The firm specializes in complex international transport and multimodal logistics for industrial clients, coordinating sea, air, and charter transport alongside customs and transit management. It serves eight industrial verticals — Energy, Oil & Gas, Mining, Construction & Civil Works, Pharmaceutical & Chemical, Defense, Aerospace, and Environment — with Energy, Oil & Gas, Mining, and Construction flagged as primary segments. Service delivery is built around a dedicated-expert-per-client model with 24/7 availability, multilingual support across roughly 10 languages, and Emergency Freight Response for urgent project logistics.

The company's offerings span four complementary segments: International Multimodal Transport (maritime, air, chartering, customs), Logistics and Warehousing (flow, inventory, and QA/QC management), Global Supply Chain Management in LLP/4PL mode, and Industrial Projects (engineering-phase consultation, on-site installation management, risk management). Supporting technology consists of a client tracking portal for transport receipts, inventory, and appointments, plus standard logistics reference tools (Incoterms, container specs, unit conversion). Through its 2006-established Partners Trading subsidiary, the group verticalizes procurement and sourcing for oil, mining, and automotive equipment, and the 2013-launched Mining Oil & Gas department distributes new and used vehicles, machinery, and spare parts.

The commercial model is direct enterprise field sales: bespoke quote-based pricing on each engagement, with no published pricing and no self-serve channel. Revenue streams span transaction fees on freight forwarding, professional-services fees on logistics/Q&A engagements, and managed-services fees on LLP/4PL programs. The firm holds AEO (2012), ISO 9001:2008, HSE, and NATO/UN defense accreditations, and operates a TransProjets Global Marine entity in Lagos, Nigeria to support West African operations. Headcount is in the 11-50 range; the company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or institutional investors, led by founder-president Jean-Marc Chataignier.

Broad incumbents

• Geodis: French-headquartered global logistics provider offering freight forwarding, contract logistics, and supply chain optimization. Most direct French-headquartered comparator to TransProjets, but operates at vastly greater scale and with owned infrastructure.
• Agility Logistics: Emerging-markets-focused global forwarder with significant project logistics and defense/industrial verticals. Comparable to TransProjets in vertical mix and emerging-market project exposure.
• DB Schenker: Global logistics provider with land, air, ocean, and contract logistics operations, including project logistics. Overlaps with TransProjets' multimodal international forwarding for industrial clients.
• CEVA Logistics: Global supply chain and freight forwarding provider, majority-owned by CMA CGM. Overlaps with TransProjets' multimodal forwarding, warehousing, and 4PL supply-chain services.
• Kuehne+Nagel: One of the world's largest freight forwarders with strong project logistics (KN Project Logistics) and oil & gas / mining verticals. Competes with TransProjets for large industrial projects, particularly offshore and energy.
• DHL Global Forwarding: Global freight forwarding arm of Deutsche Post DHL, covering air, ocean, road, and project logistics. Competes with TransProjets in multimodal international forwarding, but with a much larger owned network.
• DSV (formerly Panalpina + DB Schenker): Acquisitive global forwarder with strong project logistics and a growing footprint in industrial verticals. Direct overlap with TransProjets' multimodal forwarding and project-cargo offering.

Emerging players

• Flexport: Digital-native freight forwarder offering ocean, air, and trucking with integrated technology platform. Represents the technology-led threat to traditional SME forwarders like TransProjets.

Direct peers
