What TGD Consolidations & Liquid Bulk does

TGD Consolidations & Liquid Bulk is a French privately-held freight forwarding and logistics company headquartered in Le Havre, founded in 1984 and operating as TGD CONSOLIDATIONS S.A.S. The company provides multimodal international import-export services spanning sea, air, road, rail, and river transport, with in-house customs brokerage and its own bonded Container Freight Station (CFS) in Le Havre. Its service portfolio is organized around four pillars: Multimodal Import-Export, Logistics & Customs (deep sea forwarding, airfreight, land freight, distribution, warehousing, container stuffing/unloading, customs), the dedicated TGD FLUIDS bulk liquids division (flexitanks and ISO tanks with PBLA global network coverage), and Specialty Expertises in wines & spirits, perfumes & cosmetics, gourmet foods, pharma & healthcare, and hazardous products. The company operates single +15°C temperature-controlled sea consolidations on Le Havre–Hong Kong, Le Havre–Taiwan, and Le Havre–New York lanes.

TGD serves enterprise B2B customers across Western Europe, North America, East Asia (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan), Southern Europe (Italy), and the Caribbean, with nine offices: Le Havre (HQ), Roissy CDG, Lyon, and Bordeaux-Mérignac in France; New York; Novara and Genoa in Italy; Shanghai; Hong Kong; and Taipei. The company holds IATA, AEO, FMC, TLF, PBLA, and Euroluxe Consolidations credentials, and maintains wholly-owned subsidiaries in Italy (TGD Consolidations Italia Srl) and China (Shanghai International Logistics Co.Ltd). It also runs a Caribbean representative sales office covering Haiti, Puerto Rico, and Colombia consolidations.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on freight forwarding shipments (sea, air, road, rail, river), per-declaration customs brokerage fees, professional services fees for warehousing and distribution at the bonded CFS, sale/rental of flexitank bags and ISO tank containers, and premium fees for specialty verticals with specialized handling requirements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the go-to-market is sales-led through direct enterprise contact via the global office network and a website-based Request for Quotation form. The company is founder/management owned with no external venture capital, private equity, or parent company disclosed, and no public revenue, headcount, or financial filings are available.
