The
EHDH group, a European player offering value-added transport and logistics
solutions for industry and a leader in healthcare, has recently got closer to
Eco Courses Optic, a transport company dedicated to day and night optical
deliveries.

from GEODIS in 2014, in the optical transport by completing its offer with
twice a day deliveries to opticians. With a portfolio of 3,000 clients in
Europe, EHDH aims to accelerate its development in France and internationally.
“With
this merger we aim at expanding our range of services to the optical industry.
This
new acquisition will be operated in three stages, thus registering in the long
term, and in a central thread of the development of our group. Eco Courses
Optic offers a real alternative in terms of transportation to the various
players in the optical market by adopting an eco-friendly approach, including
two-wheeled delivery in urban areas, “says Stéphane Baudry, President of EHDH.
The
development of Eco Courses Optic and its integration within the EHDH group will
be under the responsibility of Joris Verquere, Co-founder President of Eco
Courses Optic and Alain Dauvergne, Director of Operations Ciblex France.

complementary nature of Eco Courses Optic and Ciblex, both in terms of
expertise, networks and customer portfolios, makes it a value-creating
operation for all stakeholders, which will make it possible to offer a wider
range of services to customers of ophthalmic optics. “, said Joris Verquere,
President of Eco Courses Optic.
