About Log'S

Log'S operates as a contract logistics provider, offering comprehensive, tailored supply chain solutions to clients in the e-commerce, retail, and industrial sectors. The company was established in 2002 as Logistique Grimonprez in the Hauts-de-France region by Franck Grimonprez, who hails from a family with deep roots in the transportation industry. His background instilled a vision for a logistics model built on a network of agile, human-sized SMEs, which grew from three initial companies to over 30.

The firm's business model is centered on providing 3PL and 4PL services, which include warehousing, transport and distribution management, order picking, and value-added services like co-packing and quality control. Revenue is generated by providing these comprehensive logistics services, enabling clients to outsource their supply chain operations and convert fixed costs into variable expenses. Log'S serves a diverse client base, ranging from automotive manufacturers like Renault to major retailers and e-commerce players such as La Redoute and Auchan. The company has expertise across various sectors, including automotive, textiles, home goods, and food.

A significant milestone in the company's history was its strategic focus on multimodal transport, highlighted by the inauguration of a private inland port in Anzin in 2011, which integrates river, rail, and road transport solutions. The company's growth has been fueled by both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, such as the 2019 takeover of Viapost Logistique Connectée to enhance its e-commerce capabilities. In March 2022, Log'S merged with Deret Group, a logistics specialist in sectors like cosmetics and luxury goods. This merger positioned the combined entity as one of the top five contract logistics players in France. Following the acquisition, Log'S became a brand of the DERET Group, with Franck Grimonprez remaining as Chairman and Lina Deret taking the role of CEO.
