Decathlon Logistique France

What Decathlon Logistique France does

Decathlon Logistique France (legal entity DECATHLON SA/SAS/LOG) is the French logistics and supply-chain operating arm of Decathlon Group, a privately held French sporting-goods retailer. The entity is headquartered in Lompret, Hauts-de-France — a major regional logistics hub — and operates with 382 employees dedicated to distribution and supply-chain activities supporting Decathlon's retail and omnichannel operations in France. Founded in 1982 under French corporate law (SA/SAS), the entity is controlled by the Mulliez family via the parent group and has no public listing.

The subsidiary does not maintain a standalone commercial product or external GTM motion in the source data; its externally observable digital footprint is a careers and recruitment portal (joinus.decathlon.fr) shared across Decathlon's French business verticals (Logistics & Supply chain, Retail Omnichannel, Digital, Finance, Industry & Production, Sustainable Development, etc.). The portal is powered by CEGID's DigitalRecruiters ATS, with Textkernel handling CV parsing, a CVthèque (candidate database) supporting re-engagement and internal mobility, and Didomi managing cookie consent under CNIL/GDPR requirements. Data is hosted in France and candidate records may be shared with other Decathlon group entities, including those outside the EU under contractual safeguards.

The economic model is intra-group logistics services — the entity captures supply-chain activity that would otherwise be sourced from third-party logistics providers, with no disclosed external customers, pricing, or standalone revenue. Strategic and operational decisions are governed by Decathlon Group, and the subsidiary's fortunes track the parent's French retail volume rather than independent market dynamics. The source material provides no financial disclosures, product roadmap, or technology stack beyond the recruitment platform itself.
