APL Logistics Expands Its Presence in France with a New Office

APL Logistics Strengthens European Footprint with New Office in France

On September 25, 2025, APL Logistics, a leading global supply chain logistics provider specializing in order management solutions, announced the opening of its new office in France. This strategic move aims to bolster the company’s capabilities in southern and western Europe while addressing the rising demand for visibility and control in order management amidst today’s increasingly volatile global supply chains.

Thad Bedard, the President of APL Logistics, shared, "We have long been recognized for providing trusted global solutions, built on integrity, vision, and the confidence earned from our employees and customers. By investing in personnel, presence, and expertise at both origin and destination, we ensure our customers receive the best logistics support possible." The newly established office further enhances the company’s service offerings to carriers in the region, providing them access to best-in-class order management and logistics solutions.

Kim Overman, Regional Vice President for EMEA, also emphasized the significance of this expansion: "We are committed to continuously improving our business in Europe and worldwide. Our new office in France positions us to deliver the highest quality logistics services to one of the most dynamic markets in the region, enhancing flexibility, control, and optimization for crucial supply chain networks. This move is largely driven by our clients’ requests for greater flexibility and control over their pan-European operations."

APL Logistics strengthens its European footprint, with established offices in Germany (Hamburg), the UK (London), and the Netherlands (Rotterdam), using Turkey as a gateway to Europe. The new office in France is set to provide supply chain leaders with a consistent experience in order management across major European corridors, reinforcing pan-European service with a unified vision and standard wherever operations are conducted. Additionally, the company is ramping up its regional focus on customs clearance to streamline processes, proactively address regulatory changes, and meet deadlines. Plans are underway for further market entries in Europe between 2025 and 2026, expanding the model where customers need it the most.

APL Logistics has gained the trust of prominent brands across various sectors. For instance, Levi Strauss & Co. Europe benefits from dedicated sourcing teams that effectively manage order responsibilities, overcoming time zone differences and accelerating decision-making, maintaining a partnership based on trust. Similarly, HBM Machines enjoys near-real-time visibility of orders and shipments through joint data integration, supporting cross-border growth and scalable operations.

With APL Logistics’ commitment to innovation and its comprehensive service offerings tailored to various sectors such as automotive, consumer goods, industry, and retail, the company is well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of its clientele in an ever-changing market landscape. APL Logistics continues to excel in delivering order management solutions worldwide, ensuring that every shipment is handled accurately and efficiently, from origin to destination.
