A simple but effective idea !

Express transport for the industry in Le Havre came from a simple but effective idea: Jacques Verdière founded Les Transports Verdière in 1969 to meet the requirements of Total, his oil refinery customer.

In 1968, the whole of France was paralysed by strikes. Total used to send their accountancy data by post to their head office in order to have their employees’ payslips drawn up, but the crisis forced them to find another way of forwarding their documents.

 

My grandfather Jacques Verdière, who at that time owned a restaurant, also delivered sandwiches on the premises of the refinery during the night shifts. It only came naturally that in order to help out, he should suggest to use his vehicle to deliver the documents to Total’s headquarters in Paris.

This is how the first express delivery started.

     
 

As time went by and demands for new services increased constantly, the company adapted itself to meet the needs of its customers by setting up dedicated shuttles and transport on demand.

In 1969, in order to comply with the new regulations in the field of transport, Mr Verdière obtained a licence and started up Les Transports Verdière.

His son Jean-Louis Verdière joined him in 1973. They bought their first HGV to satisfy their customers’ needs and enlarge their range of vehicles.

In 1982, Les Transports Verdière became a Limited Company under the name of SAMUTRANS (Société d’Approvisionnement en Matériel Urgent: Supply Company for Urgent Equipment ), whose main activity is based on express transport for the industry, and whose aim is to rise to your challenges and accompany you throughout your development.

Since then, Samutrans has been developing and expanding as much in size as in the range of services we offer, always in the aim to serve you as best as possible. Because of the increasingly specific nature of your needs, the economic and technical challenges of the tasks we are called upon to perform have firmly established “express transport” as an essential partner in your development.

That is why I have joined the company today, to continue a beautiful family tradition, but also to play a part in the development of a long-lasting company which has already acquired the confidence of all the economic, industrial, and port operators.

In the hope of meeting you one day

Antoine Verdière
