Strategy and governance of Petit Forestier Group

Our ambition is to become the world leader in sustainable refrigeration rental. Now No. 1 in Europe, we are pursuing a strategy of international expansion and sustainable development.

The three pillars of our strategy

Customer satisfaction

Our business requires a high quality of service and experience based on cold chain expertise and our product range: vehicles, display units and containers. Customer proximity and satisfaction are essential to the long-term future of our group.

International expansion

The international development of our Group began in the 1990s. Today, our aim is to become the world leader in sustainable refrigeration rental, with sales of 2.5 billion by 2030. This ambition is reflected in the acquisition of international entities, to accelerate our business and market coverage.

Our carbon trajectory

The climate emergency is a major issue. Thanks to our value chain, we are taking action on three levels. Our vehicles, display fridges and containers feature innovative designs in terms of volume, payload, fuel consumption and ergonomics. We are moving towards alternative fuel vehicles and focusing on the second life of our products.
