History
Sitrans Logistique is headed by brothers David and Thierry Sizaire, representing the third generation of a family whose watchword is ‘service’.
Created in 1987, Sitrans Logistique is an independent family group following the dynamic line of three generations since 1947.
The Group today is focused on its two activities - transport and warehousing.
Between them, the two heads of the company hold 100% of its capital, and this independence has enabled them to develop a business culture that is based on service reliability, traceability, safety, and the transmission of strategic information to their customers.
