Staci in short
Created in 1989, Staci is the leader in Europe and N°1 in France, Belgium and Poland for advertising-promotional logistics. The Group developed a full Supply Chain process suited to companies with large dealer networks and dispatches multi-item orders to large numbers of consignees (sales outlets).

With 250,000 m2 of warehousing space using the latest technology, spread over 19 sites in Europe and serving 200 large customers, Staci currently manages 500,000 items in real-time on account of 300,000 listed and connected “internal customers”. This represents over 20 million order lines per annum to dispatch in the various networks.

The Staci opportunity as seen by Astorg Partners
• Leader in a growing market, pulled by a strong trend to outsource logistics services.

• Unique know-how in the preparation of multi-items, multi-customers orders that gives Staci an important strategic value and limited competitive risk exposure.

• Large number of external growth opportunities in France and in Europe that would create additional value when integrated into the Staci platform.

 Staci
« We are very happy to have chosen Astorg as the majority shareholder of our Group. In the auction process with a limited number of bidders, the Astorg team made a difference with its reactivity, its skills at supporting the development of family-owned companies and its knowledge of the business service sector. Their industrial experience, partnership culture and professional team are key assets, which will enable us to pursue an ambitious strategy based on internal and external growth. »
Jean-Pierre Masse, Staci executive and founder
