In Vitrolles, near Marseille, France, Militzer & Münch France has acquired 100 percent of the shares of ITP and ITPL, two companies of the LPS Group (Logistique et Prestations de Services). The management of the business units remains with experienced company founder Jean Louis Poirier.
Both companies specialize in transporting goods to the Maghreb countries, particularly to Algeria:
- ITP (Inter Transit Pharma) specializes in pharmaceutical and paramedical products;
- ITPL (Inter Transit et Prestations Logistique) specializes in spare parts, especially for the automotive sector.
With this acquisition, Militzer & Münch France strengthens its leading position in the French transport market, and the Militzer & Münch Group as a whole reinforces its Maghreb competence. “The Maghreb countries are one of our key markets,” says Guillaume de Laage de Meux, Managing Director Militzer & Münch France and Regional Managing Director South West Europe / Maghreb. “With our experienced teams in the Maghreb, in France, Germany, Switzerland and Turkey, we are optimally positioned to offer individual transport solutions for different industries.”
The Militzer & Münch Group’s business unit “South West Europe Maghreb” handles 170,000 transports each year across France, Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria, with year-on-year growth in goods traffic between these countries.
