Geodis has created new organisations to provide clients with easier access to its portfolio of services including intercontinental transportation, customs clearance, road freight transportation, warehousing and last mile distribution.

Four new regions have been established, Western Europe, Middle East and Africa under Laurent Parat’s control; Northern and Central Europe overseen by Thomas Kraus; the Americas led by Randy Tucker; and Asia Pacific headed up by Onno Boots.

The Group is enhancing two central departments, business, development & marketing with the mission to design and build end-to-end logistics solutions, and innovation & business excellence to embed innovative ideas in business processes.

Geodis chief executive officer, Marie-Christine Lombard says: “We believe that this new organisation will make it easier for our customers to access our services through a stronger local presence. It will also offer more opportunities to develop end-to-end logistics solutions to optimise our clients’ supply chains.”
