GRAVELEAU give wings to their
OVERSEAS activity in BELGIUM
Having formed their first road transport alliance in 1995 through
a holding in the Transport Company, BOULANGER S.A. (Mouscron/BELGIUM),
GRAVELEAU have just signed a new deal, this time in airfreight, acquiring
a 100% stake in the family company, BOULANGER Airfreight S.A.
IATA-approved BOULANGER Airfreight S. A. has at its disposal a warehouse
built on 1,500 sq.m. in ZAVENTEM, BRUSSEL'S airport district. The
Company employs a team of 12 people, under the responsibility of Managing
Director, Mario FESTJENS.
The new acquisition, explained Vincent TOUYA Director
of the OVERSEAS activity (accounting for 11% of the Group's total
turnover) - demonstrates GRAVELEAU's determination to expand intercontinental
network, now benefiting from a major development platform in BELGIUM.
Interesting to note that in 2001, three OVERSEAS units sprang up in
subsidiaries belonging to the GRAVELEAU network, namely in PORTUGAL,
MOROCCO and TUNISIA. |
