FM Logistic nest plus à vendre Le groupe de transport routier, dentreposage et de logistique à valeur ajoutée FM Logistic (connu jusquil y a quelques années sous le nom de Faure & Machet) nest plus à la recherche dun repreneur. Il y a deux ans environ, il avait annoncé vouloir sadosser à un partenaire international afin dassurer sa pérennité. Cette recherche a été infructueuse. Les responsables de lentreprise se sont au contraire rendus compte que lindépendance offrait les meilleures perspectives davenir. Le groupe estime en effet que son patrimoine immobilier, constitué au cours des vingt dernières années, lui donne les bases capitalistiques suffisantes pour poursuivre sa croissance, qui devrait continuer à être principalement interne. Après une forte expansion dans les pays de lEst au cours des sept dernières années - qui la mené jusquà Vladivostok! - le regard se porte à nouveau sur le marché logistique ouest-européen. La Belgique figure en bonne place dans les axes de développement.

Il sera géré par une société mixte TRW-IFB et sera relié au Cortax à Schaerbeek, de sorte que toutes les liaisons de TRW avec lItalie, la France et lEspagne seront proposées.

TRW, manifestement, a le vent en poupe, stimulé non seulement par un retour aux bénéfices, mais également par une croissance - atypique pour le secteur - à deux chiffres.
