International logistics transportation, Gefco expertise for international logistics transportation
Very demanding international logistics
In the aeronautical sector, transport imposes demanding requirements and calls for strategic expertise. In this cutting-edge, demanding sector, populated by a few major players, the quality and reliability of logistics flows are vital. GEFCO provides its expertise in industrial logistics and helps manufacturers in the sector to optimise their inbound logistics chain.
Advanced logistics
A major player in industrial logistics, GEFCO provides complete logistics services for companies in three activity sectors:
- Aeronautics (manufacturers, level 1 and 2 suppliers): for the construction of civil and military aircraft
- Space (manufacturers, level 1 and 2 suppliers): for the manufacture of shuttles and satellites
- Defence: for the production of naval and land defence systems
In terms of industrial logistics, the aeronautics sector is very specific. In this niche market, which is limited to a few manufacturers with many suppliers, transport flow management has to meet demanding constraints:
- A strong concentration of actors in Western Europe (France, Germany, Spain and the UK) and North Africa
- Large, complex, high-value products
- Logistics flows that are much less optimised than in the automotive sector
A key player in industrial logistics, GEFCO supports the major companies in the aeronautical sector in optimising their supply chains. To meet the needs of manufacturers in terms of international logistics, GEFCO has developed a specific range of complete services:
- Coordinating and managing flows from end to end
- Engineering, piloting and implementing complex logistics plans
- Supporting the transition to just-in-time supplies
- Strategic expertise: customs, tax representation, lean management
