CEVA Logistics renews contract with Safran for aerospace parts transport between France, Tunisia and Morocco
During the 55th edition of the International Paris Air Show, CEVA Logistics, a global leader in third-party logistics, signed a renewed contract last week with Safran, the world's second-largest aerospace equipment manufacturer.
The agreement extends transportation services for three more years between Morocco and France, as well as Tunisia and France.
CEVA Logistics has been providing transport and logistics services to Safran for many years and will continue to do so under this renewed three-year contract. Under the terms of the agreement, CEVA will collect aerospace components from Safran's sites in Morocco and Tunisia and manage their daily transport to France. Incoming shipments from France will also supply Safran's sites in both North African countries.
To manage the full logistics flow from Morocco and Tunisia to Safran's industrial sites and partners in France, CEVA uses a multimodal transport solution combining road freight and RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) maritime transport. Once in France, the shipments pass through CEVA's cross-dock facilities in Toulouse and Vitrolles, before being delivered to their final destinations across the country.
The same logistics approach is used for outbound shipments departing from France.
Each year, CEVA handles over 1,500 shipments, delivering more than 100,000 parcels of aerospace parts and subassemblies.
The entire process operates under a strict delivery schedule, with transshipment platforms receiving goods just a few days after pickup.
The CEVA-Safran partnership is built on a long-standing global collaboration spanning several decades.
Over the years, it has evolved to include both inbound logistics services—such as sourcing and transporting parts from suppliers—and outbound logistics services, including delivering subassemblies to Safran's clients.
Cyrille Roux, Global Head of Aerospace & Defense at CEVA Logistics, stated:
'We have enjoyed a close partnership with Safran for over 20 years and are honored by the trust they continue to place in us.
With a focus on operational excellence and customer satisfaction, we are committed to delivering tailor-made solutions to meet the challenges faced by this global aerospace leader.'
