New business opportunities through DB SCHENKER connection with France

A trusted, reliable and stable logistics partner providing state-of-the-art solutions, a secure, efficient and extensive in-house transport network is real support for business. DB SCHENKER’s daily direct connections to Lyon, Paris, Strasbourg and Lille promote trade not only with France, but also open the door to trade with Africa. 

Important business partner

France is one of the strongest economies in Europe and the seventh most powerful market in the world in terms of GDP. It is also an important business partner for Poland, ranking in the top ten with regard to both exports and imports, the value of which exceeded EUR 684 billion in 2022.

In both cases, the most frequently indicated items include automotive and industrial accessories, such as vehicles and machinery and their parts, electronic devices, industrial equipment, but also furniture, home accessories and rubber goods.

France’s position in the European market has been further strengthened by the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union, which has translated into the relocation of some logistics traffic from the UK to France.

France – the transport gateway to Africa

France is also an important location for trade between Europe and North African countries. In Africa, on the other hand, the country that forms a bridge with Europe is Morocco, Africa’s fifth largest economy. The African market is a thriving area with a young population and huge demand with still untapped potential. The DB SCHENKER’s network constitutes an important link in this supply chain, and the recently opened new branch in Tangier (Morocco), and the daily connections between Poland and France and Morocco make the exchange of goods between these markets even simpler and more convenient.

Efficient connections and fast delivery

A well-developed road, rail and air infrastructure is what distinguishes France in the European market. Due to the country’s location, road transport plays the most important role, accounting for more than 80% of goods’ deliveries.

With DB SCHENKER’s solutions based on its own network of terminals and connections without subcontractors, the company guarantees the highest quality and safety of goods transported to and from France.

Our transport company offers its customers daily connections between Poland and France from up to four locations. Estimated transit time in this direction is 2-3 business days, with a maximum of 9 business days for the import of goods from Morocco to Poland. Customers can benefit from both LTL transport and FTL transport.

All this makes DB SCHENKER the logistics company of first choice for companies involved in trade with France and Africa.
