About us

The only multinational mid-cap in the sector

The transport and logistics market is both fragmented and concentrated. Dominated by global giants, it is also a complex market with a diverse range of players and businesses.

The supply chain is made up of as many specialists as there are means of transport, types of goods, deadline constraints, etc.

CLASQUIN is a multinational, mid-cap “Pure Player” company in the International Freight Management sector. It is currently the only market operator able to offer the services of a multinational combined with the advantages of a mid-cap company, as we are reliable, responsive, able to customize based on customer needs, creativity, innovation, and more.

This unique positioning, is reinforced by its sound fundamentals: its expert and committed team members, our international network, our integrated IT tools, all of which present very high barriers for any new competitors.
