GEFCO’s strategic aim - as expressed in its slogan “Logistics for Manufacturers” - is a culmination of the group’s founding values inherited from 60 years experience within the automotive industry. These four values guide GEFCO every day.
- Firstly, proximity with manufacturers, because GEFCO shares the same culture and speaks the same language as its customers. The group therefore understands and meets the expectations of each local market and their customers.
- The international momentum provided by the group’s business lines and subsidiaries is also critical. Operating in over 100 countries, GEFCO implements inbound and outbound logistics solutions tailored to a now globalised industry.
- Another fundamental value for GEFCO customers lies in the stringent standards applied to both solutions and operations. GEFCO assesses each and every operation in the supply chain in terms of quality, cost and lead times.
- The fourth key value is cutting-edge service through innovation for all customers. GEFCO manages physical and information flows in real time to develop customized solutions that deliver gains in quality, brand image and competitiveness.
