The Group

“We said it, we did it”

The Mousset Group, a family company driven by farmyard transport, has grown continuously over the past 55 years. The company’s network of more than one hundred sites now covers the whole of France, with sites in Poland, Ukraine and Morocco as well. In recent years, the Mousset Group has established itself as a leader in transportation with handling, temperature-controlled transport and town centre delivery.

Here at the Mousset Group, we are constantly looking towards the future, reinforcing our position in France and intensifying our international development.

Our philosophy

Key dates

Over the course of 55 years, what started out as a small family company in La Vendée has grown into a large, international organisation. The company began by developing its expertise in the transportation of live poultry, before exporting this expertise overseas in 2010. A key turning point came in 2013, when recently appointed CEO Frédéric Leblanc took the decision to develop industrial transportation and handling. In 2019, hyper-specialist, three-temperature transportation became the company’s fourth key area of focus. Whether it’s in agriculture, industry, refrigeration or on the international stage, at the Mousset Group we have a tendency to pop up where we’re least expected.

1964

Where it all began

At the age of 34, Michel Mousset bought his first tipper truck and set up his own road transport company in Saint-Florence in La Vendée, supported by his wife, Anne-Marie. That same year, the company bought its second truck and took on its first driver.

1984

Succession

Jean-Michel Mousset took over the reins of the business from his father. With him in charge, the group grew over the next 20 years, going from 27 to 855 employees.

1988

A renowned transport company in France

Jean-Michel Mousset created the subsidiary AVILOG for the transportation of live poultry. Within twenty years, what started out as a small company had risen to the number one position for the transportation of live poultry in France. Today, the farmyard sector is responsible for half of the company’s turnover. In 2000, the Mousset Group was voted transporter of the year. The company also received a l’Étoile de la PME Transport in 1995 and a Camion d’Or de la sécurité in 1992, 1996 and 2002.
