- The international momentum provided by the group’s business lines and subsidiaries is also critical. Operating in over 150 countries, GEFCO implements inbound and outbound logistics solutions tailored to a now globalised industry.
- Another fundamental value for GEFCO customers lies in the stringent standards applied to both solutions and operations. GEFCO assesses each and every operation in the supply chain in terms of quality, cost and lead times.
