EUREKA LOGISTIQUE SERVICES

What EUREKA LOGISTIQUE SERVICES does

EUREKA LOGISTIQUE SERVICES is a French private SARL headquartered in Mérignac (Bordeaux) that operates a four-entity multi-service logistics group founded in 1996 by Lucien Rouly and Claude Gé. The group comprises approximately 30 employees and is co-led by Rouly (Commercial Director) and the second-generation Sébastien Gé (Administrative and Financial Director) and Benoît Gé (Technical Director). Its structure comprises four operating entities: Eureka Logistique (outsourced freight brokering for documents, parcels, and pallets in France and internationally), Eureka Stockage (warehousing, order preparation, and document archiving in Mérignac), Eureka Industrie (custom industrial packaging and precision cutting of foam, rubber, and plastics, including the integrated flight-case workshop acquired from Etablissements Eric Bach in 2019), and Eureka Wine Services (specialized logistics, storage, and export handling for wines and spirits). The group holds regulatory licenses that function as meaningful barriers to entry: the French "commissionnaire de transport" freight-broker registration (Article R1411-1 of the Transport Code) and the "entrepositaire agréé" customs warehouse status under Directive 2008/118/EC, which together permit duty-suspended storage and shipment of excise goods such as wine. Eureka Industrie additionally holds NIMP15/ISPM 15 phytosanitary certification for export-grade wooden packaging and operates proprietary carrier-endorsed packaging systems such as Pak Wine. The business model is primarily a transaction-fee / commission-based freight-forwarding model supplemented by one-off industrial packaging/manufacturing revenue and managed storage revenue; pricing is bespoke and quote-based, billed monthly, with no minimum volume commitments. Distribution is direct via account managers in Bordeaux and Toulouse, with self-service digital tools (parcel tracking, wine tax simulator, quote generators) supporting the lower-funnel customer experience. End markets served include wine and spirits producers/exporters (a differentiated vertical exporting to 11+ international destinations including the USA, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Australia, Switzerland, Norway, the UK, Canada, and New Zealand), as well as industrial sectors such as defense, aviation, medical, electronics, optics, and luxury goods requiring custom protective packaging or precision-cut materials.

Others

• GLS (General Logistics Systems): European parcel and logistics carrier that is itself one of Eureka's carrier partners. Comparable end-customer service profile (B2B parcel/pallet shipping) but operates as a carrier rather than a broker.

Direct peers

• ID Logistics: French contract logistics specialist serving B2B customers across Europe with warehousing and value-added services. Closely comparable profile to the Eureka group in terms of French roots and contract-logistics positioning.
• JF Hillebrand: Global specialist in wine, spirits, and beverage logistics, including customs brokerage and bonded warehousing. The closest international comparator to Eureka's Wine Services vertical.
• Heppner: French regional freight forwarder and logistics provider with comparable size and scope (multi-site, B2B, transport + warehousing). Direct structural analogue to Eureka Logistique in the French mid-market.

Broad incumbents

• Hellmann Worldwide Logistics: Germany-headquartered global forwarder offering air, sea, road, and contract logistics. Has a dedicated Wine & Spirits Logistics practice that directly overlaps with Eureka Wine Services.
• Geodis: France-based global logistics company with freight forwarding, contract logistics, and distribution. A larger incumbent that competes with Eureka for the same French B2B shipping customers and is itself one of Eureka's carrier partners.
• DB Schenker: Global freight forwarder and contract logistics provider with European land transport strength. Comparable forwarding + warehousing model to Eureka, at materially larger scale.
• Kuehne+Nagel: One of the world's largest freight forwarders with deep wine & spirits vertical (KN Wine & Spirits Logistics). Comparable offering to Eureka's combined forwarding and Wine Services, but at global scale.
• DACHSER: European-headquartered logistics provider combining road freight, air & sea forwarding, and warehousing. Comparable full-service scope to Eureka Logistique, but at much larger scale.
• Sealed Air: Global packaging specialist (protective packaging, foam solutions) with comparable industrial customer base to Eureka Industrie. Relevant competitor for the custom packaging and cushioning product line.
