Tremblaye

What Tremblaye does

Tremblaye is a French road-transport, vehicle-rental, and logistics company founded on April 1, 1960 by Claude and Monique Tremblaye in Le Mans. Following the October 31, 2023 acquisition of its transport and rental activities by Groupe Berto, the operating company sits under the legal entity HV2A Tremblaye Holding (a French SAS) while preserving its brand identity, E.S.P.R.I.T. values framework, and operational autonomy under director Fabrice Mouazan. The group operates from its headquarters at 17-25 rue André Citroën in Le Mans (Sarthe) with approximately 300+ employees and a fleet of more than 1,000 registered vehicles spanning 12T to 44T configurations including tautliners, flatbeds, dump trucks, and specialized crane trucks in 12T/16T/19T/26T/32T variants. Subsidiaries include Tremblaye Solutions (logistics and packaging), TransForm (internal training center, Qualiopi-certified since 2021), Ceteovac (logistics, acquired January 2021), and the e-logik e-commerce logistics network.

The company monetizes four integrated service lines: (1) Transport Services — bespoke B2B national transport, dedicated rounds, inter-site shuttles, and specialized ADR/dangerous goods, waste, and animal by-product haulage, billed per transaction and contract; (2) Vehicle Rental — industrial vehicles with or without drivers delivered in client livery, billed on recurring contracts; (3) Logistics Services — partial-to-full outsourcing of warehouse and supply chain operations, including the e-logik e-commerce fulfillment platform with warehouses in Le Mans (6,200 m²) and Rennes (2,700 m²) and the e-Kan real-time management tool, billed as managed services; and (4) Industrial Packaging — custom wooden packaging and packaging supplies, billed as hardware sales. Technology is operational rather than frontier: embedded in-vehicle computers, a personalized web portal for clients, route optimization software (cartography, distance and toll calculators, multi-depot fleet management), and dedicated logistics/transport portals underpin service delivery.

Tremblaye serves five primary verticals — Building and Construction (Bâtiment Gros Œuvre), Materials Trading (Négoce Matériaux), Environment (waste management), Agri-food, and Industry — plus a growing e-commerce customer base of 30+ online retailers served via e-logik. Customers are reached through direct enterprise sales with dedicated account managers, multi-year bespoke contracts, and 24/7 operations support; marketing combines LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram/YouTube presence, regional events, TV and press coverage, and a sustained driver-recruitment campaign (#TREMBLAYERECRUTE). Disclosed revenue is approximately €35 million annually, with France as the sole operating geography.

Broad incumbents

• DB Schenker: Global freight forwarding, land transport, and contract logistics provider. Overlaps with Tremblaye's land transport and logistics lines, particularly in industrial heavy-haulage, but operates at significantly larger international scale.
• Geodis: French-headquartered global logistics and transport company (SNCF subsidiary) offering road freight, contract logistics, parcel distribution, and freight forwarding. Much larger scale across all of Tremblaye's service lines but with overlapping B2B transport and logistics offerings.
• XPO (GXO Logistics): Major global contract logistics provider with European road transport and warehousing operations. Comparable to Tremblaye's logistics and e-commerce fulfillment lines, particularly through last-mile and warehousing capabilities, though at vastly larger scale.
• STEF: Major French temperature-controlled transport and logistics specialist serving food and agri-food producers. Overlaps with Tremblaye's agri-food segment and offers comparable B2B transport and warehousing services, but at much greater scale and with a refrigerated specialization.
• Kuehne+Nagel: One of the world's largest freight forwarding and contract logistics companies. Comparable in integrated service portfolio (transport, contract logistics, warehousing) but operates globally and at far greater scale than Tremblaye's regional French footprint.
• Dachser: European family-owned logistics company offering road freight, contract logistics, and air & sea freight. Comparable integrated service model with similar B2B focus and multi-decade family-business heritage, though operating at substantially larger scale.

Direct peers

Similar B2B industrial customer base and multi-country European footprint, positioning it as a direct competitor particularly in industrial and chemical transport.
• Heppner: French family-owned multimodal transport and logistics company with national road freight, warehousing, and last-mile capabilities. Comparable mid-sized French operator with similar B2B orientation and multi-segment vertical exposure.
• Jacky Perrenot: Privately-held French transport and industrial vehicle rental company founded in 1945, with a similar integrated model spanning transport, vehicle rental with drivers, and logistics. Operates nationwide across France with comparable segments (construction materials, industrial clients) and a large tractor fleet.

Groupe Berto is a major French road transport and industrial vehicle rental group with a comparable multi-service model (transport, rental with/without drivers, logistics) operating nationally with similar fleet scale and customer segments.
