Following the acquisition of GEFCO by French CMA CGM Group, the European automotive logistics provider’s brand will now become CEVA Logistics.
In particular, CMA CGM’s subsidiary CEVA Logistics announced on 10 January the creation of a dedicated Finished Vehicle Logistics (FVL) organisation as part of GEFCO integration process.
According to a statement, any GEFCO’s remaining business, mostly in contract logistics and ground transportation, is going to integrate into CEVA’s existing operations.
CEVA plans to finish integration activities and replace the GEFCO brand worldwide in the next months of the year.
The new product organisation will be under the director of former GEFCO COO Emmanuel Cheremetinski, who will lead a global team of approximately 4,000 employees.
Mathieu Friedberg, CEO of CEVA Logistics, commented, “With our new CEVA colleagues who came from GEFCO, we are able to offer extensive global capabilities to a wide range of industries, including the automotive industry. Backed by the CMA CGM Group, we expect our growth to continue as we target becoming a Top 3 global 3PL.”
