Transport and Customs Manager at Manitou Group

"It's vital for Manitou Group to have access to transport solutions that are both efficient and responsible. NEOLINE's proposal is fully in line with our operational needs and our ambitious low-carbon trajectory set for 2022. Reducing sea freight emissions is one of the objectives of the Group's transport roadmap. With this service, we will be able to maintain similar delivery times, while optimizing pre-carriage from our plants in the Grand Ouest region to the port of Nantes - Saint-Nazaire.

Mathieu Testud

Supply Chain Director Jas Hennessy & Co

"The collaboration with NEOLINE enables us to take a new step forward in terms of sustainable transport: every year, 4 million bottles (containerized) will be transported by sailing cargo ship to the USA, the leading market for Hennessy Cognac. This innovative mode of transport will complement our historic shipping system by sea and rail (94% of Jas Hennessy & Co's modes of transport, with road representing 5% and air less than 1%)."
