Provence Promotion Showcasing Provence's Logistics Sector at SITL

Porte de Versailles, Paris

This year, the SITL Logistics Solutions trade show is being held at Paris' Porte de Versailles exhibition center. For almost 30 years, this not-to-be-missed event has brought together all the professionals from the transport and logistics services sectors. Provence Promotion will be at the event to promote the Bouches-du-Rhône and the advantages it offers.

The complete logistics chain under one roof

A "four-in-one" event focusing on four main centers of expertise, the SITL Logistics Solutions trade show this year will bring together 500 exhibitors in a 296,000 sq. ft. exhibition space. Every sector field is represented under one roof, from trucking companies to information systems and technologies designers, warehousing and storage solutions to specialists in logistics real-estate.

In addition to this wide range of activities, the RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) show being held alongside the SITL will be showcasing its technologies. RFID applications and contactless solutions for monitoring and tracking are increasingly becoming an additional feature of the logistics chain.

A motivated logistics sector in Provence

Alongside its partners, the PACA Logistics Cluster, Euroméditerranée, SAN Ouest Provence and Vaucluse Développement, Provence Promotion will be at the event to showcase the Bouches-du-Rhône département, already an important logistics hub.

With its modern infrastructure, dense network of communications arteries and the presence locally of many of the big names in the transport and logistics sectors, Provence is becoming a veritable mecca for logistics companies with eight of them having set up in the Bouches-du-Rhône in 2010, bringing with them 315 new jobs.

The SITL also is an opportunity for Provence Promotion to meet transport companies, industrialists, warehouse managers and site developers at scheduled, targeted business meetings during the event.
