What Groupe Deret does

Groupe Deret is an independent French logistics and services group founded in 1947 by Robert Deret in Orléans and headquartered in Saran, France. The group operates across five integrated business activities — co-packing (Sogipac), logistics and warehousing (Deret, Log'S, Logtex), transport, real estate (Deret Immobilier), and hospitality (Caphotel) — serving enterprise clients in luxury, cosmetics, fashion, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, and industrial sectors. With 7,000 employees, 2 million m² of warehousing across 100+ sites in France and Morocco, 320 vehicles and trailers, and 70+ logistics sites, the group is the 6th largest logistics operator in France (2024 Supply Chain Magazine ranking).

The group's technology stack centers on operational automation and robotisation — automated storage and retrieval systems, robotic picking, conveyor systems, and a multi-modal distribution network covering air, sea, and road transport — supported by an internal engineering bureau (Bureau d'études) that designs bespoke supply chain solutions. The group pioneered clean last-mile electric delivery in Europe in 2009 and has since extended to CNG and hybrid vehicles. Geographic and customer-facing digitalization is advancing through the 2025 Spacefill partnership deploying a 360° Logistics Portal. The product portfolio spans B2B industrial logistics, B2C/e-commerce fulfillment, luxury and cosmetics co-packing (17 million tubes and 4.5 million boxes completed in 2025 alone), and hospitality (14 hotels, 4 restaurants).

Revenue is generated through bespoke multi-year B2B service contracts across logistics, co-packing, transport, and hospitality verticals, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The group reported €575M in 2024 revenue (up from €533M in 2023, ~7.9% YoY) and is family-controlled under Managing Director Lina Deret, who launched the 'Moov Up 2030' strategic plan to double revenue to €1B by 2030 through market consolidation, new sector penetration, and international expansion. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales, leveraging the one-stop-shop ('guichet unique') model to route customer requests to the most appropriate brand entity within the group.

Direct peers

• STEF: French temperature-controlled logistics specialist with similar sub-€1B revenue band, offering warehousing and transport for food and refrigerated goods. Comparable French publicly listed peer with overlapping end markets (food, e-commerce grocery).
• CEVA Logistics: French-heritage global contract logistics provider (now majority-owned by CMA CGM) offering warehousing, transport, and end-to-end supply chain solutions. Comparable integrated 3PL model with similar end-market exposure to retail and consumer goods.
• Geodis: France's largest contract logistics operator (SNCF subsidiary) offering warehousing, transport, freight forwarding, and distribution. Direct competitor across all of Groupe Deret's core activities, with much larger scale and global reach.
• ID Logistics: French-headquartered international contract logistics provider with similar business model (warehousing, co-packing, transport) and France-Europe customer base. Most directly comparable peer given French roots, retail/fashion vertical mix, and mid-tier European scale.
• FM Logistic: France-origin family-owned contract logistics player with warehousing, co-packing, and transport across Europe and Asia. Closely comparable on ownership profile (family-controlled), integrated service model, and consumer-goods vertical mix.

Broad incumbents

• Kuehne+Nagel: Global freight forwarding and contract logistics leader with significant warehousing operations. Comparable in multimodal transport and large-enterprise customer base, though at substantially larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• DHL Supply Chain: Global contract logistics arm of Deutsche Post DHL, the largest 3PL worldwide. Competes for multinational enterprise contracts across all of Groupe Deret's verticals (luxury, cosmetics, e-commerce, industrial), but with vastly greater scale and technology investment.
• GXO Logistics: Pure-play contract logistics specialist focused on warehousing and automated fulfillment, particularly for fashion and e-commerce. Direct competitor in the Logtex/Log'S end markets with a heavier technology and automation orientation.
• XPO Logistics: Major European and North American contract logistics and freight transportation provider. Overlaps with Deret's trucking and warehousing activities, especially in fashion/retail and industrial segments, but at much larger scale.

Emerging players

• Maersk Logistics & Services: Global container shipping leader actively expanding into end-to-end contract logistics and inland supply chain services. Increasingly competes with Deret for integrated logistics mandates, particularly for clients seeking combined ocean and ground services.
