I just came back from the SITL in Paris (International logistics solutions show) where I prospected for the regions of Pays de la Loire and Poitou-Charentes. I was surprised (and happy !) to see that the western part of France is becoming an increasingly interesting region for new investors. The historical line (Lille, Paris, Lyon, Marseille) being crowded, the western part of France offers a good intermediary solution for new investors.
my figures as an FDI advisor ? : 10 meetings with potential investors with projects on a short, medium or long term basis and many, many good contacts. I admit that there was a very good attendance at the show. If the long edition (the SITL mixes every other year a short and a long edition) is as interesting as the short one, 2008 promises to be pretty good.
Were you there ?

Logistic companies dreamt about it, TLF and TL&Associés made it true : the index on the logistic costs exists and is updated every quarter. It gives a general trend (with seperate heading of costs) on the economic model of a warehouse and covers the whole of the logistic activities (transport excluded).

Supply chain has a lot to do with supermarket : Tesco (the UK’s largest supermarket chain) is often mentionned as the company that has the strongest business model as far as supply chain is concerned. Why is this business model so unique ? Why not using it locally on the French territory ? If people know about it, please leave a comment….
