Warm welcome to ABGI Ireland, BBL Groupe, Clark Hill Solicitors and Deloitte Ireland!
BBL Groupe
Groupe BBL, founded in 1997 by Kaci Kébäïli and headquartered in France, is a private logistics and supply‑chain group built around a “federation of specialists”. It comprises multiple autonomous subsidiaries united under the BBL umbrella to deliver tailor‑made logistics solutions.
The group’s four core business lines are:
- Road transport and groupage across Europe
- Overseas transport, including air and sea freight
- Contract logistics, warehousing and distribution
- Customs broker and compliance services
Through targeted acquisitions, BBL expanded rapidly. Increasing its workforce from ~440 (2017) to over 2,100 in 2024, and growing annual revenue from roughly €121 million to approximately €700 million in 2024.
A notable member of the federation is BBL Logistics, established in Dublin in July 2018. As well as, road freight and overseas transport services, the Irish entity participates in customs and compliance services with AEO certification enabling simplified customs procedures for cross-border trade.
BBL emphasizes human‑scale operations, delegated local leadership, and collaborative innovation to craft flexible, client‑focused supply chains.
In essence, Groupe BBL is a modern, mid‑sized logistics provider combining the agility of boutique specialists with the scale of a coordinated network to serve complex supply‑chain needs.
