GEODIS, a global leader in transport and logistics, celebrates 30 years of presence in Vietnam, marking three decades of serving international and Vietnamese brands from the FMCG, retail, luxury, hi-tech and industrial sectors.
Since establishing its presence in Vietnam in 1995, GEODIS has steadily expanded its footprint and capabilities, with nearly 200 employees across 2 offices in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi and 8 warehouses throughout the country. Initially focused on supporting European import and export activities, GEODIS has become a trusted logistics partner for numerous leading Vietnamese, European and American companies seeking to manufacture, source and distribute in Vietnam. Today, GEODIS Vietnam offers a comprehensive range of services and solutions from freight forwarding, in-house customs brokerage and trade compliance, complex project logistics, to high-end warehousing services and supply chain management.
Vietnam is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Vietnam’s GDP is projected to reach $510 billion this year, placing it 32nd globally. Economic growth is expected to exceed 8% this year, positioning Vietnam as one of the top 20 global trading nations and reinforcing its strategic importance within global trade.
“Vietnam’s remarkable economic progress has positioned it as one of the world’s fastest-growing economies,” said Eric Martin Neuville, Regional President and CEO. “As companies increasingly diversify their sourcing strategies in response to global geopolitical changes, Vietnam has emerged as a key option for resilient and agile supply chains. I want to congratulate our Vietnam team for their unwavering commitment to accompany the growth of our customers, helping them build strong, flexible supply chains in, to and from Vietnam over the past 30 years. I am excited for what we will achieve together in the years ahead.”
To mark this significant milestone, GEODIS is launching a celebratory brand campaign, underlining its long-term commitment to the Vietnamese market. The campaign reinforces GEODIS’ brand promise, “A better way to deliver,” and purpose: “Serving people by delivering their goods all around the world with innovative, sustainable and ethical logistics”.
Keeping with global shifts in manufacturing and sourcing trends and Vietnam’s increasing importance as a logistics and manufacturing hub, GEODIS plans on continually enhancing its end-to-end capabilities. Recent investments include the expansion of their warehouse in Long Binh, catering to the luxury, fashion, sportswear, retail, high-tech tech and industrial sectors. Aligning with GEODIS’ commitment to sustainability, the customs-bonded warehouse features solar panels for energy efficiency. GEODIS has also extended their highly secured, daily scheduled, day-definite road freight service connecting Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and China, catering to high-tech and industrial customers.
“Celebrating 30 years in Vietnam is a proud milestone that reflects the trust of our customers, the dedication of our people and the strong partnerships we have built locally and globally,” said Chandler So, Managing Director. “Vietnam remains our core strategic market for GEODIS. Our focus has always been on delivering innovative and reliable logistics solutions tailored to our customers’ needs. We remain committed to investing in operational excellence, digital transformation and sustainability to drive continued success in supporting our customers’ growth and to contribute meaningfully to Vietnam’s long-term development together with our customers.”
