Imany

What Imany does

Imany is a French family-owned road transport and logistics provider headquartered in Saints-Geosmes (Haute-Marne), founded in 2010 by Christophe Nardin and operated as a single-shareholder SASU. The company runs four interconnected service lines: Transport (full and less-than-truckload road transport including ADR, refrigerated, and double-floor trailers), Logistique (warehousing of roughly 70,000 m² with customs warehouse and temperature-controlled storage, plus quality control and industrial subcontracting), Affrètement (chartering/brokerage for national and international flows), and Messagerie (parcel and pallet distribution through partner networks). A wholly-owned subsidiary in Onda, Spain, runs a dedicated ceramic collection and consolidation operation for distribution into France. Imany owns a fleet of approximately 380 vehicles, all EURO 6 standard and run on Oléo 100 biofuel derived from French rapeseed, with a reported 60% CO2 and 80% particle emissions reduction versus conventional diesel.

The underlying technology is a conventional logistics stack rather than an AI-led platform: a proprietary WMS with remote stock visualization, EDI integration, geolocation on the fleet, and PDA-equipped drivers feeding back real-time data. Imany is ISO 9001 certified since inception and reports a 90/100 gender parity score in 2025. The go-to-market is enterprise B2B field sales with dedicated account management, multi-year contracts, and quote-based pricing; named customers include Magna, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, ITM LAI (Intermarché), NOZ, with partnerships extending to Renault Trucks (sustainability), Oléo 100 (fuel), and reciprocal capacity networks including Evolustrans, GEODIS, and CEVA Logistics.

The business model is fundamentally asset-heavy and transaction-fee based: revenue is generated from per-shipment transport pricing, warehousing fees, and chartering margins, with a small recurring element from warehousing and supply-chain management contracts. Reported 2025 key figures are €40M in revenue, 288 employees, 8 agencies, and service coverage of 27 countries, indicating a mid-sized regional operator rather than a pan-European scale player. Customer concentration leans on large enterprise accounts across industrial manufacturing and French retail/distribution, and growth has been incremental and self-funded under family ownership, with no disclosed external funding, M&A, or institutional investor involvement.
