<\/a> Matthieu Friedberg (Photo: CMA CGM) <\/p>\nCMA CGM, headquartered in Marseilles, France, has been on a buying spree for the past decade as it transforms itself from a pure ocean carrier and port terminal operator into an end-to-end logistics provider. After acquiring Ceva Logistics in 2019, it has continued to grow by folding other companies into Ceva, including France-based Bollor\u00e9 Logistics and Gefco, and Ingram Micro’s commerce and lifestyle services business. Last year it took over Borusan Tedarik in Turkey. Ceva has also made numerous tuck-in acquisitions, including the 2023 purchase of last-mile delivery company Colis Priv\u00e9 Group, and initiated joint ventures to accelerate its growth in key geographies or market sectors. CMA CGM also launched its own cargo airline four years ago. \u00a0 <\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Ceva announced it is exploring acquisitions of e-commerce logistics players Paack Iberia and Paack France.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
CMA CGM said the next phase of growth will focus on expanding capabilities in North America and strengthening product offerings. The acquisition of FedEx Supply Chain, expected to close later this year, is a major part of that strategy. Moebel’s experience in North America and with FedEx operations, as well as with a French logistics company, likely pushed him to the top of the candidate list for Ceva Logistics. <\/p>\n
Friedberg spent six years at Ceva’s helm, during which time he managed the integration of several strategic acquisitions and its rise to a top global 3PL. In his new role, he will oversee artificial intelligence, IT cybersecurity, startup accelerator Zebox and management consulting firm CMA Conseil. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ocean shipping and logistics conglomerate CMA CGM late Wednesday named former FedEx executive Patrick Moebel to lead Ceva…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44622,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13062],"tags":[24356,2213,15022,30048,30124,30123,1540,30125,30122],"class_list":["post-44621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cma-cgm","tag-ceva-logistics","tag-cma-cgm","tag-executive-vice-president","tag-fedex","tag-logistics-company","tag-matthieu-friedberg","tag-north-america","tag-ocean-shipping-and-logistics","tag-patrick-moebel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44621\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
