Overseas Cargo Logistics

What Overseas Cargo Logistics does

Overseas Cargo Logistics (OCL) is a family-owned international freight forwarding company founded in 2013 and headquartered inside the CDG airport cargo zone at Tremblay-en-France, France (operating address: 16 rue du trait d'union, Zone cargo 2 Aéroport CDG, 93290). The company provides air, sea, and road freight forwarding; customs brokerage and clearance; warehousing and storage; and a set of add-on services including ad valorem insurance, IATA- and IMDG-compliant packaging (including hazardous materials), cold-chain solutions via Carboglace and ISO containers, and custom packaging design and manufacture. Operations are run by a four-person team that draws on an international network of subsidiaries and agents spanning more than 100 countries, with two specialist service lines: competition vehicle transport (notably CITROËN RACING for WRC and FIA Formula 2 Championship teams) and prestige auto / historic motorcycle transport for collectors, media, and luxury owners.

The underlying technology stack is conventional for a small forwarder: there is no proprietary software platform, no API, no app, and no AI capabilities disclosed. Differentiating technical capabilities are operational and regulatory in nature — staff hold a customs access title for reserved 'Zone F' at Roissy CDG, and the company is approved to package dangerous goods under IATA and IMDG regulations. Distribution is direct-to-customer, acquired primarily through a bilingual (French/English) website with online quote requests, supported by phone and email; pricing is bespoke and quote-based for every engagement, with each customer assigned a single interlocutor from quotation through billing. The company is privately held with no institutional investors, no funding rounds, no disclosed revenue, and no M&A activity in the source data.

The business model is professional services: OCL earns fees on freight movement, customs handling, storage, and ancillary services. Customer segments are split between vertical specialties (motorsport teams, luxury/prestige vehicle owners) and a horizontal general freight import/export segment. There is no subscription, marketplace, or platform revenue stream; monetization is tied directly to shipment volume and bespoke project work.
