CEVA opens new logistics platform in Mably

CEVA Logistics, a global leader in 3PL logistics and the world’s third-largest contract logistics provider, announces the opening, in summer 2026, of a new logistics platform in Mably, near Roanne, in France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

Covering 44,000 square meters, CEVA will operate logistics activities designed to support the growth of e-commerce in France while strengthening its contract logistics capabilities.

Located in the Éco Parc Bonvert business park in Mably, north of Roanne, the platform will cover a total surface area of 44,000 sq m and will be able to process 200,000 parcels per week and up to 350,000 during peak activity periods.

It will include nearly 42,000 square meters of warehouse space and approximately 2,000 square meters of office space. Its 41 dock doors, accessible simultaneously, will help optimize goods receiving and shipment preparation flows.

Designed to meet the speed, reliability and flexibility requirements of e-commerce, the site will be equipped with advanced inventory management systems and a high-performance automated sorting system, both in terms of conveyor speed and outbound allocation.

VNA – Very Narrow Aisle – racking will provide increased storage capacity and greater fluidity for picking operations in the aisles.

This infrastructure will help accelerate the processing of inbound and outbound flows and improve service quality for order preparation destined for the network of e-commerce distribution warehouses in the region.

Thanks to its strategic location in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and its latest-generation equipment, the platform will enable CEVA to support e-commerce distribution needs while strengthening its presence in a key region for logistics activities.

The site will also contribute to the region’s economic vitality, with nearly 300 employees expected and up to 500 people mobilized during peak activity periods.

In line with CEVA’s commitments to sustainable development and the continuous improvement of the environmental performance of its sites, operations at the platform will rely on practices that promote responsible use of resources. In the building, which will be equipped with 100 percent LED lighting and rooftop photovoltaic panels, handling operations will notably be carried out using electric pallet trucks and forklifts to reduce the environmental impact of the activities.

Ranked among the world’s top three contract logistics providers, CEVA continues to develop its activities in France to support its customers’ growth in key sectors, including automotive, industrial, e-commerce, technology, healthcare and beauty. The company currently has 27 contract logistics warehouses in the country, representing more than 570,000 square meters, in addition to 150,000 square meters of storage space dedicated to Air & Ocean activities, for a total of 720,000 square meters of warehousing space. This network consolidates CEVA’s position among the major players in contract logistics through a combination of dedicated and multi-customer sites.

Amaury Montay, Contract Logistics Director France, CEVA Logistics, said: “The upcoming opening of this new platform in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes reflects the momentum behind the development of our contract logistics activities in France and our ability to sustainably support our customers’ needs. With this new site, CEVA is strengthening its local footprint and its role as a trusted partner in a rapidly evolving e-commerce sector.”
