LOGISTICS

Organised product flows

Created in 2001, Altrad Logistique coordinates and optimises the internal product flows of the Altrad Group. It is also responsible for stock management and dispatch. Placing customer service as a top priority, Altrad Logistics is constantly improving its performance as well as controlling costs in logistics and transport.

Transport
Altrad Logistique, a registered transport company, is dedicated to its sole client, the companies within the Altrad Group.

A central freight service has been set up to manage international flows, while specialised transport companies are used, selected for their savoir-faire and their reactivity.

It has a two-fold approach:

1 - Internal product flows
The Altrad Group is present right across Europe, through its various companies. Product movements between companies represent several hundreds of truckloads per year.

Altrad Logistique uses its international freight service and its supervisory position to coordinate inter-Group transport for all its sister companies so that the best use is made of available resources.

By reutilizing trucks arriving from other companies in the Group, the carriers are optimised, product availability is improved and cost-effectiveness is increased.

Note that Altrad Logistique organises the transportation of imports from factories in Tunisia and China, representing over 1200 20-foot containers per year.

2 - Deliveries in France and abroad
Altrad Logistique plays a major role in Franc, organising direct or monitored deliveries to Group clients in Europe by land, and to countries further away using shipping transport.

Agreements with transport companies in many countries allow Altrad Logistique to organise dispatches from most Group factories in Europe, using the most appropriate method (container, single or double trailer, articulated truck etc).

Altrad Logistique also advises sister companies outside France by suggesting solutions to their domestic transport organisation.

Logistics
Altrad Logistique has operational and matrix management roles within the Altrad group.

1 - Operationally, it is in charge of the logistics of the 2 largest Group factories, covering 40,000 customer orders for 4,000 product references each year, totalling 20,000 tons of goods delivered.
2 - Acting for several Group companies, Altrad Logistique works in two areas:

Logistics support

Internal and external audits
In compliance with Altrad Group quality standards
Project management

Future developments
In the light of the exponential growth of the Altrad Group, both in terms of acquisitions and increased volumes, it is necessary to reflect on our future logistic organisation, such as grouping sites, setting up platforms dedicated to certain activities etc.
