Overview
CEVA Logistics is a global third-party logistics provider headquartered in Marseille, France, and operating as part of the CMA CGM Group. The company serves manufacturers, retailers, distributors, healthcare organizations, automotive companies, technology businesses, and other industrial and consumer sectors. Its activities cover contract logistics, air and ocean freight forwarding, ground transportation, customs and trade services, finished-vehicle logistics, project logistics, and supply-chain design. The present CEVA organization was created in 2007 through the combination of TNT Logistics and EGL Eagle Global Logistics. TNT Logistics had developed from the logistics activities associated with TNT and had become an international contract-logistics operator, while EGL was a major North American-origin freight-forwarding and transportation company. Their combination created a business with capabilities spanning warehousing, distribution, freight management, and international forwarding. The CEVA name was adopted for the combined logistics group. CEVA expanded through a mixture of organic network development, customer-sector specialization, and acquisitions. Its contract-logistics operations manage warehousing and distribution networks, including inbound logistics, inventory services, order fulfillment, reverse logistics, and value-added activities such as packaging and postponement. Its freight-forwarding business arranges international air, ocean, and ground movements and provides associated customs, documentation, consolidation, and visibility services. The company also operates specialized solutions for automotive supply chains, healthcare and life sciences, consumer and retail, energy, industrial goods, and technology. The company experienced significant financial and ownership changes during the late 2010s. CEVA became a publicly traded company on the SIX Swiss Exchange in 2018 after a restructuring and initial public offering. CMA CGM, the French container-shipping group, subsequently launched a takeover offer and completed the acquisition of CEVA in 2019. CEVA was delisted and became a privately held operating company within CMA CGM Group. The acquisition gave CMA CGM a broader end-to-end logistics platform alongside its maritime transport, terminals, air-cargo, and logistics activities. Under CMA CGM ownership, CEVA has remained a separately branded logistics business while becoming more closely integrated with the group's global transport ecosystem. The company continues to offer multimodal and sector-specific supply-chain solutions rather than functioning solely as a parcel-delivery brand. Its positioning is that of a global, asset-light and asset-supported logistics partner able to combine forwarding, contract logistics, transportation management, warehousing, and specialized operations. CEVA's current scope and scale are international, although exact employee, revenue, facility, and country counts change over time and are therefore not stated here without a dated source.
History
CEVA Logistics was established in 2007 from the merger of TNT Logistics and EGL Eagle Global Logistics. The transaction combined a large contract-logistics and distribution organization with a freight-forwarding business that had strong roots in international transportation. The new company adopted the CEVA name and pursued a model spanning warehousing, distribution, transportation management, and forwarding rather than concentrating on a single mode of transport. TNT Logistics had evolved from the logistics activities of TNT and was active in contract logistics, supply-chain management, and sector-specific distribution. EGL, founded in the United States, had built an international freight-forwarding network covering air, ocean, and ground services. Their combination gave CEVA a broader geographic footprint and a more balanced service portfolio. In the years following formation, CEVA developed integrated solutions for automotive, consumer and retail, industrial, technology, healthcare, and energy customers. The company expanded its services through network growth and acquisitions. Its contract-logistics activities included warehousing, inventory management, inbound and outbound distribution, order fulfillment, reverse logistics, and value-added processing. Its forwarding organization managed international cargo movements, consolidation, customs-related activities, and transportation planning. CEVA also established specialized capabilities in finished-vehicle logistics and project logistics, allowing it to serve complex industrial and automotive supply chains. CEVA underwent a major restructuring before returning to public markets. In 2018, its shares began trading on the SIX Swiss Exchange following an initial public offering. The listing made CEVA an independent publicly traded logistics company, although the business continued to operate in a highly competitive industry alongside global providers such as DHL Supply Chain, Kuehne+Nagel, DSV, DB Schenker, and UPS Supply Chain Solutions. CMA CGM, one of the world's largest container-shipping groups, became CEVA's strategic owner through a takeover completed in 2019. CMA CGM's acquisition reflected a strategy of extending beyond ocean shipping into integrated logistics and inland supply-chain services. Following completion, CEVA became a subsidiary of CMA CGM Group and was delisted from the SIX Swiss Exchange. The CEVA brand was retained, and the company continued operating as the group's principal third-party logistics platform. After the acquisition, CEVA's role broadened within the CMA CGM ecosystem. The company could combine its forwarding, contract-logistics, and transportation capabilities with the group's maritime, terminal, air-cargo, and other logistics assets. CEVA nevertheless remained a distinct customer-facing brand with its own logistics portfolio and sector expertise. Mathieu Friedberg became chief executive officer in 2020, succeeding Nicolas Sartini. Today CEVA's business is organized around international freight forwarding, contract logistics, ground and transportation-management services, and specialized vertical solutions. Its customers typically seek outsourced warehousing, distribution, freight procurement, customs support, inventory coordination, supply-chain visibility, or end-to-end logistics design. The company operates internationally and serves both multinational and regional customers. Because network size, facilities, employee counts, and financial performance vary by reporting period, those figures should be taken from the relevant dated CMA CGM or CEVA disclosure rather than treated as permanent brand facts.
