  • Giraud prend le contrôle de Stock Inter
    Les rumeurs qui circulaient depuis quelques jours en France, ont été confirmées mardi matin au cours d'une conférence de presse: le groupe Giraud a pris le contrôle de Stock Inter, le groupe Grimaud conservant une participation de 33%. Giraud porte ainsi sa capacité d'entreposage totale à 500.000 m2 et son chiffre d'affaires en logistique à un milliard de FRF. Ceci lui permet de devenir le numéro quatre du secteur et de se hisser au même niveau que Norbert Dentressangle. Ce dernier a acheté en décembre dernier United Transport Logistics (UTL); cette opération avait porté son CA dans la logistique à 1,1 mia. de FRF et sa superficie d'entreposage à 700.000 m2.

  • Van Ommeren Anvers développe son propre logiciel pour l'expédition
    Il y a trois ans, la division d'expédition de Van Ommeren Anvers décidait de développer son réseau informatique, qui devait en outre devenir un instrument de travail flexible à tout point de vue. Jan Van der Borght, qui dirige l'expédition générale, avait entamé à cette date une étude comparative, mais celle-ci n'avait pas donné les résultats escomptés. Un grand nombre de producteurs de logiciels déclarent disposer d'un software adapté aux besoins des expéditeurs, mais aucun ne satisfaisait aux demandes de Van Ommeren. Cela s'explique par le fait que très peu d'entreprises de logiciels font la distinction entre une agence, une entreprise de groupage et une société d'expédition. Un logiciel informatique adapté constituait dès lors un créneau encore inexploité, auquel Van Ommeren et Logas, tous deux "partenaires" d'IBM, se sont attaqués l'année dernière.
  • Cosco démarre en juin sur la route Europe/ Amérique du Sud côte Est
    Cosco se lance sur la route Europe-côte est de l'Amérique du Sud. La perspective que nous évoquions dans ces colonnes à la mi-janvier, va se concrétiser en juin prochain.

  • NFF: no attack on MUA
