SARL TRANSPORTS GABORIT

What SARL TRANSPORTS GABORIT does

SARL TRANSPORTS GABORIT is a French family-owned road haulage operator (SARL) founded in 1963 and headquartered in Montreuil-Bellay, Pays de la Loire. The company operates a fleet of approximately 50 vehicles split between general freight (~25 units) and bulk transport (~30 units), with a specialization in agribusiness and cereal logistics. Under continuous family ownership since 1992 (Ghislaine and Patrick Gourgon), it runs an asset-heavy, operationally traditional road transport business; the model is contract-based freight — pricing is bespoke per client, with no public pricing, no app, no API, and no marketplace layer. Telematics come from an ELOSYSTEME GPS system.

The service portfolio extends beyond pure transport into adjacent verticals: the company operates roughly 5,000 m² of warehousing, a vehicle washing station, and aggregates (granulats) trading, all co-located at the Méron industrial zone site acquired around 2008. Customers are drawn from three principal segments — grande distribution, agribusiness, and industrial accounts — with historical route coverage spanning Europe and Iraq. The business carries Qualimat (agribusiness hygiene/quality) and CO2 (environmental performance) certifications, which gate its ability to participate in qualified tenders from agribusiness and large retail buyers.

Revenue mechanics are conventional for a regional French carrier: per-shipment haulage rates, supplemented by storage fees on ~5,000 m² of warehouse capacity, trading margins on aggregates, and ancillary vehicle-washing income. The business is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, no M&A activity, and no public financials. Operating status is confirmed active, though most recent visible operating metrics (headcount ~60+ in 2014) are stale; the firm is registered as a 7-employee micro-entity in one dataset, indicating an unresolved scale discrepancy in the source material.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Direct peers

• Groupe Mousset: Groupe Mousset is a French family-owned specialist transport group focused on bulk, industrial, and agribusiness road haulage. Closely comparable to Transports Gaborit's combination of bulk grain/agribusiness transport, regional presence, and family-business origins.
• Heppner: Heppner is a French family-owned logistics group with a similar blend of general freight, specialized transport and warehousing across France and Europe. Comparable in operating-model DNA (family-owned SME logistics with vertical specializations) and customer mix of B2B, retail and industrial clients.

Broad incumbents

• DSV (France): DSV runs one of the largest European road-transport and forwarding networks following its acquisitions of DB Schenker and Panalpina. Comparable on long-distance general freight and contract road services into and out of France, though DSV competes as a global acquirer of regional carriers.
• Kuehne+Nagel (France): Kuehne+Nagel operates a major French road-freight and contract-logistics business serving retail, agribusiness and industrial customers. Comparable on over-the-road general freight and warehousing, but as a global incumbent rather than a regional French bulk-specialist.
• STEF: STEF is a French specialist in temperature-controlled transport and logistics, particularly for food and agricultural products. Directly comparable to Transports Gaborit's agribusiness bulk and Qualimat-certified operations, but STEF operates a much larger refrigerated and multimodal network.
• Geodis: Geodis is France's largest domestic 3PL and freight transport provider, with road, warehousing, and contract-logistics offerings spanning agribusiness, retail and industry — the same verticals Transports Gaborit serves, but at massively greater scale and breadth.
• XPO Logistics (Europe): XPO Logistics operates one of the largest European less-than-truckload and truckload networks and inherited Norbert Dentressangle's French road-freight business. Comparable on general freight and full-truckload services to French B2B customers, though at substantially greater scale.
• DB Schenker (France): DB Schenker is one of Europe's largest land transport and contract-logistics providers with full coverage of France. Directly comparable on cross-border general freight and contract road services to retail and industrial clients, though as a broad incumbent rather than a regional specialist.

Regional players

• Transports Perrenot: Transports Perrenot is a French specialist road-transport group with strong bulk and industrial haulage capabilities. Directly comparable to Transports Gaborit's bulk transport offering for agribusiness and industrial customers, though with a substantially larger fleet and pan-European footprint.

Others

• Réseau France Benne: France Benne is the bulk-transport network of which Transports Gaborit is a member. It is comparable as a peer-channel partnership — not a direct competitor — that bulk-hauliers in France leverage to extend geographic reach and load-matching.
