Since 1967, we’ve strived to deliver the right goods, to the right place, at the right time, for the good of all. We team up with committed partners and customers in the consumer products, retail, beauty and cosmetics, industrial manufacturing and healthcare sectors to act collectively and produce responsible supply chain models. We are pushing the boundaries so that by 2030, we will be recognised as the leader of sustainable omnichannel supply chains.
We are pioneering transportation pooling and the one-roof concept. We promote environmentally friendly co-packing solutions and carbon neutral warehouses. We work hard to optimize the way we use resources, continuously monitoring and improving our carbon footprint. We are developing innovative and sustainable omnichannel distribution with our urban solutions or our bulk finished goods offering. And we don’t stop there! Wherever we are, we become a committed and sustainable partner for local communities. Nothing would be possible without our collective inner passion and all the energy we share to create and carry out these actions. That’s why we strive to collectively and continuously improve our daily work life and the well-being of our teams.

Openness
Openness commits us to take initiatives, to be curious, to listen, to question and to be creative.
“It has taken over 50 years to build our company and make it what it is today. Business life is a daily challenge, especially when a company is experiencing continuous strong growth, which has been the case for us.
Honorary President
Our success has not been left to chance. It is based on a legacy of family values combined with entrepreneurship and common sense. With this example to follow and the desire to continue our history, the second generation has successfully taken the lead, with the same successful foundations.
Today, the management teams combine these values with their own expertise and skills. It is therefore with shared pride and team strength that we continue to write our history on new continents.”

First development
The company grows rapidly. In 1976, it already had 90 employees and 75 vehicles. But it was in 1982 that the company really took off. The founders’ entrepreneurial spirit and dynamism won the confidence of the Mars food company. Faure & Machet embarked on a strategic activity, warehousing, and twenty years after its creation, the company had 300 employees and 38,000 m² of warehouses in France.
The Faure & Machet alliance
In the 1960s in France, two brothers, Claude and Edmond Faure, decided to launch their small wood transport company. At the same time, another entrepreneur, Jean-Marie Machet, took over his family’s transportation business. The meeting of Mireille Machet and Claude Faure will mark the destiny of both families. Their marriage led to a close professional relationship that resulted in the creation of the “Faure & Machet” transport company in 1967. At that time, it had 12 employees and 7 vehicles.
