OUR VALUES
WHETHER WE ARE TALKING ABOUT INSIDE THE COMPANY OR OUR EXTERNAL RELATIONS, WE BELIEVE THAT THE HUMAN ASPECT SHOULD BE AT THE HEART OF OUR FIRM.
STG is a business which was based around the principle of respecting others and showing total commitment.
A locally based business always ready to listen and respond quickly, ensuring food safety, inspiring trust… these were our founding values relying on the skills of the men and women in our firm in the various jobs associated with transport and logistics.
OUR HISTORY
Founded in 1949 by Rémy Gautier in Hédé (Brittany), the Société des Transports Gautier (STG) is a Breton family firm whose main business at the time was the transport of live animals. In that era, they had two refrigerated trucks, 3 cattle transporters and one tanker.
While those founding values remain with us today, we have nevertheless grown considerably and our work and means have progressed as the market has evolved and our clients’ expectations have changed.
That explains why our business has gone from the Breton export market to the transport of fresh produce linked to the growth in the food sector. In September 2018, Jean-Yves and Antoine Gautier, sons of the Group’s founder and co-directors, decided to open up the company’s capital to give it the means to respond to the new challenges of cold logistics. Hivest Capital Partners becomes the reference shareholder for 75% of the company’s capital. The Gautier family keeps 25%.
EXTERNAL GROWTH
We have multiplied the number of our locations by buying several companies in France: Bretagne, Ile de France in the 1980s, Normandy, North, Rhône-Alpes, Champagne Ardennes, Alsace, Lorraine in the 1990s, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Savoie, Auvergne, Loire in the 2000s and finally the South-West with Renaud in 2010. In 2020 STG takes over various Kuehne+Nagel sites for the warehousing and distribution of fresh produce (FMCG Fresh produce excluding retail). The integration of these logistics sites enables STG to expand its range of services by guaranteeing a complete service solution.
In 1989, our national reach was extended to cover the whole of Europe through our German partner Nagel Group.
